Mike, just out of curiosity,why wouldn't the U3 go to 2nd, once the rundown starts? The PU could be moving down to 3rd, just in case. If the runner on 3rd goes home, the PU would still be in position to make the cal at home. They wouldn't be all the way down to 3rd, just moving that way, in case a throw is made. If they are heading that direction, if the throw becomes evident, all they have to do is run 3 or 4 steps and be in position for the call. If the runner comes home, back up 5 or 6 steps and you're in position there. This way, if a rundown does occur, then both bases are covered.
