I don't think that anyone here can honestly say that they have always been in the right postion to make every call. Everyone, sooner or later is going to be out of position to make a call no matter how hard they work. It just happens. I've had a few instances in this very situation when I thought that I was in the right position, then at the last second, the 1st baseman makes some goofy stretch, or loses his balance as he is stretching and falls over, or whatever and now I cannot see the play and there is no time to react to get into a different spot. It happens to everyone.

I don't think anyone here is saying that you should get help ALL the time, I don't think anyone is saying that you should be lazy and never work to get into the right position. This is one instance where the mechanics of the two-man system allow you to get help from your partner.

All of you that are saying "well why not get help on every call then..steal of second, ask your partner if he tagged him or not." That is probably one of the stupidest things I have ever heard on this board.
