I still believe that once a runner is in scoring position the PU should NOT go into fair territory. He should go up 3B line and attempt to support the call at 1B as best he can from that position.

And if you read my post, you would see that I agree.

And as I stated before, many do support trailing a BR even though it is not part of the 2-umpire mechanics. I do not. I may hesitate moving toward 3B to at least try to keep a workable angle should help be required at 1B, but I stay in foul ground anytime a runner begins @ 2B.
