It is important, however, to remember not to go up the 1st base line very far since you have R2 at second at TOP

The most important call for PU in this play is fair/foul, and after that he is going to have to be quick to see touch at 3B and help out on swipe at 1B if needed. And while the points made about the 45 foot line are true, it never dawned on me that F1 could field a bunt up the 1B line and still be in a position to tag a runner who as not made 45 feet yet.
