Where I've had to use this is in single-man league games where I screwed up and turned my back without calling TIME.
Example: I hear a ruckus - I look around to see the pitcher turned around & facing 2B, with her foot just out of the circle. R1 is off 2B, but returning.
You can imagine - offense claims pitcher faked a throw; defense claims runner left the bag. I say - I had TIME, so whatever, it doesn't matter.
Of course, the truth is, I screwed up. Just like your partner did...
At least I learned from it!
