I say get the call right... the plate umpire has a better angle... what are you going to do? Refer to your other umpire on EVERY play because there might be something you didn't see? Of course not, you make the call you see... and you don't want the PU running down telling you your wrong, but if a coach can convince you that there was something you didn't see whats the big problem with appealing?

Okay my friend, the coach just convinced you that the last pitch you called a strike was in fact a ball. Are you going to go to your BU to discuss it and change the call?

The coach just convinced you that the tag at 2nd that you were 10' away from was never placed on the runner. He was 100' away. Are you going to go to your PU to "consult"?

Well that's what you are condoning here! Get into the correct position to see and make the call. If you are not in good position (and you know when you are not), ask for help before you make the damn call!
