956UMP

No strictly baseball

This happened in a Junior Little League Game (13-14 year olds). Point is no umpire should ever come over to give his opinion on play especially balls and strikes unless asked my his fellow umpire.

While talking with my partner during our pre-game meeting, he was furious with the fact that in his previous game with another umpire, his non-strike call was overturned by the base umpire. Here is how he explained it. Batter squared to bunt, stood still and did not make an attempt at the ball in his opinion. Defensive coach come out and asks him if he can ask his partner for help to see if there was an actual attempt. He then told the coach that it was his judgement call and no one else. Well the base umpire then comes over and tells the coach that he did make an attempt and it should be a strike. Note that the plate umpire never asked for help. He was furious with the fact that his partner had come over without being signaled by him for help to give his opinion with the call. So in the end the pitch was overturned to a strike.He told his partner after the game that he should not ever do that again unless he asks for help. Who is in the wrong here? I told him that his partner should have never done that. Thoughts???
