You guys call this conferring with a rules guru, I call it the other ump overturned a bad call by his partner. its 6 or a half dozen.

No, no, no. This is not an umpire "overturning" someone else's call. This is an umpire who needs more information and seeks out on his own the perspective of his associate. However, no umpire should EVER seek out to change their associate's call, no matter how dead-a$$ wrong it is. To do so is overstepping your bounds, and it would only serve to throw said partner under the bus.

Oh, and furthermore... No.
