My last organization really screwed me all up then!

You would think that Florida officials, considering they play baseball 9 months out the year, would know better.

I'm just confused about 1 thing. If a call is made, and the official is not sure and goes to his partner for help, wouldn't that tell you that he obviously didn't see the play or he needs help?

Everyone in the ball park knows he needs help or he wouldn't be confering!

So what is the difference if the one who had a better view of the play make the call?

Bob...

Absolutely wrong

This leads to requests to "overrule your partner."

The correct scenario is that the non-calling umpire gives additional information to the calling umpire who "redecides" the call based on all the information.

And what is the difference there? Everyone knows the wrong call was made if he changed it after confering with his partner....GEEEEEZ

As far as:

From an earlier post
And, where was the delayed dead ball signal from either BU or PU?

No such signal in professional mechanics.

Sorry, I'm not a MLB Umpire. But, that comment was meant to be sarcastic, didn't realize someone would make it a point of emphasis or I woulda left it out!
