First play in the infield has always been the BU's call, so no need to discuss in pregame. However, asking the PU to take a play at 1B and then be in position for a subsequent play at 3B is a tough one. As a PU I have always moved up the line when it appears evident there could be a play at 3B AFTER a play at 1B. Very likely situation is runner at 2B and ground ball hit to F5 or F6. As a BU I have always been pleased to make a banger at 1B and then turn to see my partner getting in position for a potential play at 3B. Perhaps this is something I should add to pregame discussion.
