View was Obstructed so I called "SAFE"

[debeau]

With a runner on one the PU is still in position to help .
The PU takes off up the 1st base line to check just for this sort of thing then button hooks over to the holding bay and if necessary moves up to third to take the call .
After all that you can ask you partner and personally I feel you can be open .
"John I was obscured have you got a call on that one "
This leaves both team coaches in no doubt and they would be rather silly to come into the diamond after this .
Its our job to get it right .
You are a team not individuals .
Ask if you have to .
Its better to confer/ask than make a decision then change it .
