I guess I'll ask the question why you had to correct yourself on the foul ball call because it was a foul ball and seeings the batter didn't reach first base and all runners if there were any didn't advance one base the offensive coach has his option of taking the result of the play or the award for catchers obstruction. It's not your choice it's the coaches. I have seen coaches make dummer decisions. I also have some bad feelings about how you are talking about your partner. We all had to start somewhere and maybe you don't care for him because of previous incounters with him, but he is your partner. We all have worked with partners we didn't really care for but as a UIC it is your duty and responsibility to help train and help these people along,not run them off. As a veteran official I feel it would be your duty to pass on your knowledge to him instead of talk him down. As a UIC don't you have any training for your umpires and why would you put an untrained umpire on the field in the first place, did you run all the others off? I'm glad your not my UIC.
