One thing that I was taught as a general rule is that when you go to your partner for help, you ask a question that will have a YES or NO answer.
Was the foot on the base?
Do you have a tag?
Did she bobble the ball?
By doing this, you are not asking for an opinion on your judgment, you are asking for a missing "piece of the puzzle" necessary to make that judgement

Quickest way for a partner to tick me off is to come to me for help and say "Whatcha got?" After a few years I finally figured out the answer should have been, "High blood pressure from fielding stupid questions from my partner!"
