Tough call!

I like the idea of U1 easing into a suitable position for both tags and PU moving up the line.

With PU moving back, it seems he's vulnerable to an unseen drop, ...but I guess the fans would let him know.

[This happened last night. With the sun setting in Right, and U1 with his back to R3 I found myself in a horrible position only a few (10') feet off the line extended fighting to see the catch.]

In two man this is probably the hardest call. Not only does it not happen very often, usually we get just a routine catch to right.

But a trouble ball, PU has to go out to see it.

I can't see trying to explain it to the coach, "I can see it better if I back up etc.,"

Get the trouble ball first, that's most important. The runner at third is secondary.

If in doubt, he didn't leave early.

Thanks
David
