We just like to be consistent. Runner on 2nd, PU takes the play at third.

So with R2 and R3, or bases loaded, PU takes tha play at third? (I know that's not true, just pointing out that the rule is no more "consistent" than having BU take the play)

Plus it gives the PU something to do. (grin)

That's one of the FED's rationales for some of the mechanics.

the only exception would be when the ball is right down the line in RF and PU has to stay for the catch and the foul/fair.

You're correct, I meant to say lead runner on 2nd.
And I know that's what FED uses so the (grin) comment.
But, the main thing is that everyone is on the same page.
All of our guys usually are, (since I'm the trainer) and it makes it really easy IMO for our younger umpires.
Thanks
