And if your partner did not see it? Its not your partner's job and on many occasions has other duties to attend.

Speaking ASA, the BU should make the call they see using all the information available from visual to audible to reactionary.

If blocked or somehow completely taken out of the play, then go to your partner.

And the next argument is going to be, why not use your partner if possible? Are you going to watch the play, check to see if your partner may have had a better view and then point? Or if s/he isn't watching, turn back and then make a call after the runner is back on the base or halfway to the dugout?

BTW, who is covering the runner going to third while the two umpires are making a decision on the play at 1B?
