Saturday game: I'm BU again. ......- "Blue, can you ask your partner for help on that? Last inning on the same play you called my runner out but this runner was safe" I tell her that I wasn't getting help, call stands.

Its a HTBT, so I'm just going on your typed words, but its possible that the bolded comments above might make a coach think you were arrogant.

Why not just answer the coaches request with a " No, I clearly saw (tag/touch/ect), play ball".
It my opinion that comments like "its my call". "I dont need help" sound too defensive, and give a stronger impression that a mistake was made.

Too many words just gives the coach more ammo.....
