Working with (not against) your partner

[Bill S]

I can tell you this; after my partner calls a strike and then comes to me asking if they went, I would not even dignify it with an answer. After a strike is called, it is a strike. It is contrary to rule to even come to you. I have and would absolutely refuse to even answer. It is a strike at that point no matter what I thought. I would probably also tell my partner later that if you are going to come to me and then put words in my mouth to make me look like a jerk, we will probably not be working together in the future. This guy is in the top 5 ranking?? He must be friends with athletic directors.
