First of all, the PU screwed up and went for help in the wrong place....Then the 1st base umpire screwed up by making a call. What should have happened is the 1st base umpire hand the call off to 3rd. Since that didn't happen........it is permissable to go to the correct person.

My guess is that those 3 umpires do not work much 3 person.

First off, it is a rare occaision that I will go for help on a check swing. If the pitch is high and inside and the catcher comes up and blocks my view then I will ask for help.

I have ALWAYS been told that if the coach asks for an appeal in sportsmanlike manner then you ALWAYS go for help.
