R1, R2. Pitcher throws to 2nd and catches R2 off bag. Defense has R2 in pickle. I, as PU, come from behind plate. As I get in front, the defense has now decided to play on R1 that is heading toward second. They now have R1 in a pickle. I begin to commit myself up the first base line and inform my partner that I am there. (Which was probably what screwed everthing up to begin with). I then realize that R2 has advanced to third and I may have a play at the plate. I retreat and tell my partner, "I'm going home" Well he didn't hear me and there is a missed tag at first and he calls R1 out, after looking over to me, thinking I was in position at first.

An argument prevails and all the time I am trying to get my partner's attention to come to me for addtional information however, he is discussiong with the irate coach, about what the coach thought was a missed obstruction call at first. Which did not happen.

Well, the coach never did ask about the missed tag until the next inning, and I could not step in fast enough (nor did I think I should), to get the call correct.

Bottom line , it just looked ugly on our part. Which I probably caused.Three umps would have worked nicely but, there were only two.

Any suggestions. Should I have inserted myself into the discussion to correct the call, even though they were'nt discussing the tag? Should I just have stayed at the plate?
