1. Getting help before making a call in not a mechanic I've seen taught anywhere. There has to be a call made before an "appeal" for help.

2. A study was posted on this site a few years back that indicated that video replays showed when ML umpires got help on a call, the revised call was wrong as often as right, thus overturning a correct call.

3. On most plays there should not be two sets of eyes on the same play.

4. Going to your partner assumes he had a better view despite his distance and other reponsibilities.

5. Study mechanics and angles and increase your mobility and you won't need to get help at first.
