As PU I feel like I have primary responsibility for the tag at 3rd, and the play, if any, at the plate. If I have time after the tag at 3rd I might glance back to 1B, but I'm still in position for the play at the plate. The call at 1B is BU's. If he asked me and I clearly saw a foot off the bag, I might answer, after there is no longer a call at the plate to be made. I'm not going to jeopardize missing one of my calls, calls that might result in a run scored or not, or an out at 3rd for a missed base. He needs to make his call, and any help I can give him will come after I'm done with my responsibilities.
