1. hey, at least you realized what you were doing with your zone. That's more than half the battle.
2. With R2 only, you should NOT be leaving the plate area.....if the ball got past F5 and the runner headed for the plate, there's no one there to make the call! This runner is your partners all the way. You were out of position.
Dont 'go over in case he needs help' unless you LOUDLY tell him what you are doing....but in 99.9999% of cases, follow the accepted mechanics. Your partner may have been confused cuz he saw you come up, but you didnt tell him
unequivocably that you had the call.
Why did he go back to B? Why was he in B with R2 only?
3. Don't take your eyes off the ball until playing action has ceased, or time is called. BTW, this is your partner's call also....he was in B, how could he not see this right in front of him? He didnt have a very good day, did he?
Sounds in all like you learned a lot. As Morpheus said, "the answers will come."
