I was gonna ask what this meant. Then googled it. Lol. I don't drink but my GFs a former bartender/probable alcoholic. I'd probably know this if I were a better listener.
Never mind that S4 made a mistake, turning down diamonds. The Dealer seems to have no idea how to stop a loner and work with your partner.
He plays a diamond to the first trick trick (that's okay), but should have played that QH first not a diamond. 10D went down and Dealer has 9D/JD - stops nothing. He has AS/10S but confuses the H e l l out of his partner by playing the 10S to the 2nd trick. By playing the 10S to trick 2, should mean he is not saving Spades. Then he plays another Diamond to trick 3 . . . WOW QUESTIONABLE playing?
What information is he (S4) giving his partner playing in this manner? Every card played should mean something and give the best information possible.
The order for S4 should have been H, D, D then 10S AS so that his partner can save Hs, S2's best stopper. Diamonds is dead from S4 perspective. S1 could have KD or AD and neither S2/S4 can stop that.
Why play the QH first? Because you clearly are going to save Spades.
