Orginally posted by SamNVa Since the PU has to stay with the play most of the way to 1st why not just have the PU make the call at 1st and let the BU move over to 3rd for the possible play there. Of course this is something that would have to be covered in your pregame to make sure both umpires are on the same page.

Ok, that was a bad idea.

Orginally posted by chuckchopper Thats about how I would do it. Let me tangle up this bunt mess. I have never liked the interference from the batter on the catcher. Somehow in my heart I think the catcher should have to wait until the batter passes on the way to first. Sometimes the pitcher & catcher do not talk. The pitcher moves in as soon as the batter squares, the runner starts to go, then the catcher moves forward and there is a collision. The rules says the catcher has a right to make a play even though the pitcher is already doing the same thing. Do you guys get in this mess often?

Actually Chuck, if two or more players are attempting to make a play on the ball, the umpire gets to decide who to protect on the play, so if. IYJ, F1. F3, or F5 has a better chance to make a play on the bunted ball, then F2 would not be afforded any protection and could be guilty of obstruction if she gets tangled up with the BR.
