I'm not an advocate of always getting help, or doing whatever it takes to get the call right. If it's a bang-bang judgement call, and got a good look at it, it is what it is.
But if I'm blocked out, or somehow not getting a good look at the play, I've got no trouble asking of help,
if the proper procedure is followed.
In this case, I'm pretty sure Welke wasn't asked to get help. And therein lies the problem. You gotta ask the right question, when you're a manager. You always ask the umpire "What did you have on that?", and go from there.
