Changing your partner's call

Wow, JR, I just flat-out disagree with this. We talk about this exact situation in pre-game. Together, we agree that we will trust the other's good sense in this situation. If you know that I missed the call, I don't need you to come pat me on the shoulder. Just tweet, say "TWO!" and I'll thank you for catching it when I was sleeping.

I think -- as long as we've all discussed it -- that is being a team player. I put my trust in you that you will save me from a mistake; but only when you are sure that it's a mistake.

Now, if we talk about it in pre-game and we decide that we'll get together to talk about it, that's a different story. But there's nothing really to talk about. If you're willing to put your credibility "on the line", pardon the pun, for that call then I consider that be ample evidence that I missed the call.

It is about trust; but I'm trusting you to use that power only when you have zero doubt that I made an error. As always, JMHO.
