Perhaps you should take this up with the local umpire association. Sounds like there might be a problem. I don't think you're going to find the support you want here. I certainly would not throw my partner under the bus. Judgment calls are just that, someone's personal judgment. And you can't protest how someone else interpreted what they saw. You
can protest application of a specific rule or rules if there is a problem. Certainly, brom your OP, the PU blew that call on the runner leaving early. If we were perfect in our line of work, we would certainly earn a lot more than $22 per game. I think you might have an isolated problem there that needs local help.
