Runner out of baseline avoiding fielder

[mmeece]

Well, you are assuming the guy knows he kicked the call.

If I'm sure of my call, no I am not going to go talk to my partner just to appease a coach. If I have any doubt, yes I will go check with my partner. If the coach questions something and I realize I kicked a rule I will fix it myself, I don't need to drag my partner I to it.

If you were the HP ump and you THINK you saw her avoid a tag but aren't as certain of the timing as you would like to be due to being behind the play, would you be better off letting the play complete and getting together with the crew to discuss it? I've just started umpiring and it seems like the easier correction (if one is needed) would be from safe to out but I'd really like to hear from those more experienced.

It's a heck of a lot easier to reverse a no call vs an out call.
