pulled foot at 1st - getting help

[Tim C]

Were we working the game together?

Just kidding.

While I am from the school that you live and die with your own calls AND in over 34 years of umpiring I have never asked for help on a pulled foot or swipe tag at first base I say:

YOUR PLATE UMPIRE WAS FAR OFF BASE (pun). Even though I do not ask for help when I am the BU I am ALWAYS in position to help a partner who asks for that help.

Your partner's attitude needs a firm adjustment.

He may be like me in the "philosophy" that you live with your own calls but he was dead wrong in his discussion position with you.
