That's a lot of blues. Tongue-in-cheek pregame as PU: U1/2/3; don't move. UL/UR; chase on your side of the outfield. I got the plate. Have fun everyone. Beers at the hotel in 2 hours. Andy's buying.

Mis-type. I was copying and pasting. I meant "regular" rotated with U1 coming home.
RE ball to CF: I understand the concept here...as umpires we always rotate "left" against the flow of the runners...but to me it just seems simpler to have U1 drift between 1B/2B (a la 2-man) while U3 and PU stay home. (This is why I don't write umpire manuals.)
