When I am the PU, here is part of my pre-game with my partner before we get on the field:

"If there is only a runner at first, and you are in the B position, if there is a steal or a bunt and the runner for first tries for 3rd, I am going to be there ready to take the play at third. You can release the runner to me. If for some reason, there is a passed ball, and the runner from first tries to go for 3rd, I know it's my call, but try to be there in case I get tangled up behind the catcher and can't get down to third."

Every so often, I will get a umpire that lets me know if I go to third, he will plan to go home. I tell him, no - - - once he releases that runner to me at third, I will have the plays from there.
