Let me get this straight. Your partner is in "C", has F6 and the ball and R2 in front of her, should be watching that action until the ball is released and it should take her to 1B. She should have an easy call and the discussion should have been as follows.

"No way, Coach. I saw the whole play, was only 15 feet away, and had the good angle. Your SS just blew it."

"Will you check with your partner?" "Won't do any good, Coach. He would have been watching R1, then going to first. It was my call, and I had it."

If she insists, then partner comes to you and you chat briefly about how well your garden is progressing, then she goes back and says "As I said, Coach. He was watching R1. It's my call, and I don't have interference. Now let's play ball."

As for you, Whiskers, how you let that coach, with her "blown coverage" comment transfer guilt to you? You watch your part of the field and assume that partner has her area of coverage. Try and cheat to back her up and guess what? "Blue, I want to appeal the R1 missed home plate." And you say "Sorry, I was watching F6 for possible interference." Now that's blown coverage! (VBG)
