Possibly. If I vividly remember the outs, and/or if the number of outs matters (runner on 1st or more).

How about the count... your partner gives the count, you disagree. Again, do you call TIME and discuss it, or do you ASSume you must have it wrong?
No, almost never. I assume I'm wrong and he's right. I can imagine doing this if I've got a new batter or maybe 1 pitch into a new batter, and he flashes a 2-2 or 3-2, especially if something odd happened that could have messed one of us up.

I would also say I'm much less apt to do this with some partners than with others. Wrong as that may be.
