Food for thought on this portion of your original post: This last fall, whie working some college scrimmage/practice games, I have been told that the umpire needs to "commit to the play" in other words, bust your butt to get the very best look possible at the play being made. After that play is over, then commit to the next play.

As you said, the pickoff at first is very difficult for the BU in C postion to see and call, but we have to do it.

What's wrong with pregaming this situation with your partner and asking the PU to slide up the line and take a call at third base?
