Definitely As&Os. Fair/foul is not a shared responsibility. It belongs to one umpire or the other, based upon what you agreed to at pre-game. As BU in A, you're only responsibility for fair/foul is behind you typically.
But the call on the batter being hit by a batted ball is a shared responsibility. The BU can kill it should his/her partner not see it, and then the PU decides if the batter was in the box or not.
