With all due respect, this piece of wisdom (below) is downright Stoopid as applied to the sitch.
WE ALL KNOW that PU can ask for help himself.. but look at the sitch. Balls are flying, fielders are running, RUNNERS ARE RUNNING, bases are being touched, Runners are SCORING, dogs and cats are living together...
And you are going to take your attention OFF of all this ACTION to look out at BU and ask, "Did he go?" Oh sure!!
Besides, under no circumstances, (other than the nimrod test) would the BU even be looking at you. He's already turned with the throw to the OF, and may be ready for a play at 3rd.
