But, we still like for our PU to take third on the second throw. Its easy for the PU to move toward the mound to see the plays at first and then with a few quick steps be in perfect position for the throw to third which is always going to be a developing play.

As a BU I can cover both, but if my PU calls me off I don't have a problem with that either.

I think that might answer the question but not sure.

Thanks

David,

I know a lot of people are going to say this is wrong but, like to take the play at 3rd as the plate umpire in foul territory like in three man. That way you can read the ball, runnner and field and umpire the play.
