If you dive in there too soon, you insert yourself into a situation you may not want to be in. What if your partner blew the call? Even if your partner is right, now you have a coach asking you the same 50 things he's asked your partner.
If your partner doesn't have the fortitude to address the situation (for example, if your partner is a rookie), then s/he needs to be the one pulling you into the conversation. If you butt in there, you may be moving the game along (which it should be moving along), but you're taking away your partner's authority. Your partner dug his own grave on this one. He should have stopped the coach after the first minute, gotten into his next position, and signaled to you that he was ready. As far as the HP umpire being UIC, well... That's just plain silly.

Dave I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views! Screw green, it ain't easy being blue! I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
