re: Using your mechanic opens the door to every coach, spectator, and player who's in a better position
to see any close play to yell out, "Hey, ask your partner."
Who is to say that they where in a better position; or, that they really saw the play?
I know this never happens; but, what if a manager, coach, player, fan (aka fanatical)
is just testing the umpire to see if they can draw the call -
or they flat out lied about seeing the play!
re: That's why the BU should ask for help before he makes a decision.
Why would an umpire ask for help on a call that they feel they can, and did make?
Never have I heard an umpire ask a player why they took a fastball right down the middle.
Nor have I ever heard an umpire ask a player why they tried to steal against a catcher with a cannon.
Nah, do your homework then take the call yourself.....
