Another time is when the players ask you to check with your partner (they say "appeal") on a judgement play on the bases. Yesterday, my BU partner called a close play at 2nd and because F4 fell down in the process, did not realize he was blocked from the runner's feet. They said "appeal" and he asked for my (PU) help. I said her foot beat the tag and he changed his call to safe. Of course the fielder's coach wanted to know how he could change a call and I explained about getting whatever input he wanted and my having a better angle. The coach started to say I couldn't have from behind home plate, but of course I was way out in the infield. When the third baseman nodded yes to that, the discussion was over.
