Mechanic - BU needs help from PU at 1st

[bossman72]

This is what i learned at a clinic from a former minor league umpire:

1) If you're in A- you shouldn't go for help since you have a good enough angle to see a pulled foot or swipe tag yourself.

2) Know your PU. If he's the type of guy that won't give you information, and you go ask him, and you don't change your call, you BOTH look bad then if the call was fairly obvious.

But if your PU was in good position to see the pulled foot/swipe tag AND you know he'll give you information, go ahead and ask, but you really shouldn't.
