Moose,
Just want to say what I think and let the others spat. Too bad every little scenario or post turns into someone taking offense. Anyway, I would not seek to change call. You must suck it up. You had the lapse of judgement. You had the bad positioning. You had the hurried call. You had the poor mechanics. You had something but the right call (as so the manager and yourself admit). But I think that anyone who does not do there job out in the field is doing a worse injustice of putting the plate umpire on the spot like that. If you end up keeping the call, it looks to the fans and opposing manager that the PU either agreed with you because he is scared to overturn it or they think he wasn't paying attention (and they will let him have it since he is close to the stands). If you turn the call, then everyone thinks that it was the PU who gave you the info and they get on him for it. It just ain't right. He deserves better then to be drug into a lose-lose situation because someone (BU) erred. The worse he can get for you NOT going to him is the fans just question to themselves, "why didn't the BU ask him"? It has been my experience that some times BU get to accustomed to feeling that the PU has his back that he goes to him for every little thing that is questioned. Just my opinion Max
