Like DutchAlex said, it's more fun with the 2 man thn the 3. You get better coverage with the 3 man. You have to bust your tail a lot more with the 2 man, but if you have 2 partners who really do bust it, there is hardly ever a case where a play isn't covered correctly. Of course, to prove the other side of this argument, refer back to May, when my partner and I both were moving on the ball and both were unable to come up with a call. We did everything right, believe me, I've gone over this one a 1000 times since and there is nothing I would have either one of us do differently. A 3 man crew would have had a 3rd view and maybe a better view. Anyway, I prefer the 2 man crew, as it provides more action for the blue.
I saw a thread where the R1 was on 2nd and the play was at 1st. I've always let the runner go by, watched the ball, to see where the play is going and followed the ball at a dead run, until the ball is almost to the base. Then I stop and make the call. Even if the ball is thrown to 1st, I can cut the distance by half. Most of the time, I'm behind the pitchig rubber by this time and have a good angle on the play and the runner.
