what's up with Div. 1 umps

[Mrumpiresir]

I always tell my partners that if I come to them on a checked swing or a pulled foot immediately I want to know what they have because I did not get a good look at the play. If a coach complains and insists I get help, I will go to my P after a short delay but expect him to confirm my call. This usually works. Now if my partner overrules me, I have to go along with his call.

I'm confused, but I get confused easily.

I hope you only go to P on check swing appeal if asked and reasonably speaking that is right away. So when would there be such a delay on a check swing that you would expect your P to confirm your call?

If you have made an out call on a play at first I'm assuming you saw an out.
If you go to your P to placate a coach after the out call I would suggest you do this in private conference and not yelling across the infield. If it's in conference then you cannot be overruled and you still have a choice to change the call or not.

If you do not want help, do not ask for help. If you ask me for help, I am giving you what I got. It does not matter what you called.
