We aren't the ones that are wrong.

If I notice that partner is, for whatever reason, looking away from this fielder when it happens, I'm calling it.

More likely it is the opposite, you are seeing something your partner is not. After all, you had to see something that made you call OBS or the thought wouldn't have crossed your mind.
