It is not expected that U3 should have to make a call at 3B. We always want to rotate in the opposite direction of the base runners.
Now, is it possible that the plate umpire falls down, and U3 reads this and deviates to make the call? Yes, and that is an appropriate time for U3 to bust a*s and get the best possible angle. U1 is too far away to have credibility here.
My Google-fu is weak this morning, but somewhere out on Youtube there is a video of HP umpire Mike Bartling making a call on the batter-runner at 2B. Find that one in the manual.  |
I was pretty sure of that, but I have not been U3 for a while and want to get all of it in my head.
