Yet we all agree that these are judgment calls and that we may all judge them differently. With the inevitable variation, you and your partner could end up calling a very different game if you don't make an effort to pay attention to how your partner is calling the game or even what you've previously called. Having a clear inconsistency among a crew never leads to a good place. The same play should be the same call throughout the game.
When your partner has previously called 5 blocks on what were essentially the same contact against team B, you, having the very same type of contact with the teams in reverse, would be ill advised to call a charge against team B. It doesn't matter if you think it should be a charge and think all 5 of your partner's calls were marginal. The pattern has been well established....don't change it. Be consistent as a crew.
