Mechanics - 9-3 out
2-man mechanics. An old partner and I are having, um, "healthy debate" about the following.
R1, BU in B. Sharp "single" directly at F9. PU trails play up 1st base a bit, BU comes inside to watch runner at 2nd base - PU has touch at 1st base.
F9 comes up firing to first and it's bang-bang.
PU yells "OUT!" as BU makes the safe signal.
Whose call is this, and do you cover this as a normal part of your pregame?
