R1 moved up to 2nd on the throw. The coach had his pitcher appeal the tag-up at 1st base.
After the game, I discovered that I was parked next to that coach, and I asked him how come he appealed first base, when I was watching the catch, the tag at 3rd, and quickly checking the tag at 2nd, and that working solo I would have no clue as to when the runner at 1st left. He said, "yeah, I know, I was just hoping maybe you saw him out of your peripheral vision."
Oooooooooooooookay.
