Obviously, if I don't see what he sees I'm not calling the balk. Or echoing it.
And some coaches will ALWAYS use the line "Your partner didn't call it - HE didn't think it was a balk." As with all baseball comments, I consider the source.

I guess I took you to mean that if you didn't see the balk, you wouldn't echo it. MEANING that if you saw the pitcher but DIDN'T SEE A BALK, you wouldn't echo it. Apparently that's not what you meant.
