Thanks all, some good thoughts. And yes, the PU
trailing the play toward 1st would be in a better position to cover 2nd than the BU outside the line.
If the BU was on the HP side of 1st (home plate not HU, Tom
), it seems to me there is no way to get back outside 1st to the B position to cover a play at 2nd. If necessary (PU asleep or down), I would rather loop behind F1 and F2 between PP and HP to get a perpendicular angle.
Regardless, thanks for the help. Tom does know enoudg to alswsys nbe suspiciaiu of my typekgh.
