IF there is a misthrow or BR is super aggressive and advances to 3B, what is the best course of action for the BU (assuming this hasn't been pregamed...and we should not pregame deviations)?
- Cover home?
- Stay in the middle for a possible retreat to 2B?
- Continue to work his responsibilities and take the BR to 3B, and deal with the aftermath in postgame?
- Something else?
I will admit I've done this as PU, when I have a less-mobile BU partner. I probably shouldn't.

Continue to work his responsibilities, never HP.
What aftermath ???
