I guess you had to be there, but this situation was such that I had no way to see the play. The tag was on the far side of the runner--it did not come down the top of him. Furthermore, the fielder was playing in a little, so the tag was in plenty of time even though it was on his trunk--IF the tag was on him. I feel better that my partner also had a tag (I asked him later), but I also feel like there's no way I could've seen whether the tag was good or not.
My first reaction was that I couldn't/shouldn't ask for help on this one, so I made the call, assuming that the tag was on. It was the third out. Of course, the third base coach came over right away and talked to me, saying "there's no way you could have seen that", etc. I had to just play along--he left after thirty seconds or so.
