Like Andy said, make the call first, then go for help...if asked.

I agree with everything everybody has stated on all of the previous posts.
2nd of all you should never converse with a coach who is yelling at you from the dugout on any subject. All they are doing is trying to show you up to the crowd. Cut it off if it gets to carried away. If the coach won't come to you politely and discuss things then cut it off.
Unfortunately your partner hung you out to dry and sounds like more than once. You said he was more expeienced than you, but at what?
Also the coach can't apeal a missed bag anyway. The apeal has to come from the infield and fair territory.
I also hope he was not conversing with the plate ump about you from the bench, because if the PU was conversing back and saying what was implied on one of your earlier post about you, then he most definately needs a good talking too and possibly "A GOOD KICK UP THE @^st&*.
