Would you ask for help?

If the base guys had seen it, they would have called it. Asking for help is just an appeasement move, not a good idea at any level.

I agree with the other posters on here who said, "if he saw it he would've called it."

Why ask him, he already ruled?

If BU sees the ball hit the batter (and I mean 100%), he should call "TIME" only, and let PU decide if it was fair or foul.

if the ball hits the batter its just a dead ball.... why does it matter if it was fair or foul... if the batter is hit in or out of the box is the only variable to this situation where the plate umpire has to determine anything after the ball has been declared dead by the BU
