Pulled Foot Appeal

[Del-Blue]

I do not like the mechanic of going to partner before making a call. There are a lot of times the PU is busy with other duties, than IMO both look stupid and are guessing. I have NO problem going to my partner if there is a question in my mind, but I will make the call first.

Lets just say there is a runner on second, and the BU has a question on the play at first, and the runner on second held the bag until the throw to first, when she goes to third. Now with the play at first the BU has a question, and points to the PU who has moved to third for the play there. Now when pointed to, the BU is unsure of the pulled foot, and calls the runner safe, and has a bang, bang play at third. His/her comcentration has now been taken off the play at third. What kind of grief do you think you will get from the coaches????

Make the call, and than go to your partner if requested to do so.
