Implied in that is
1. Checking for obstruction
2. R2 makes proper turn at third.

In the original play F6 fielded the ball. That means that F5 would have taken at least a step or two to his left from his starting position. When R2 clears F5 he is not at all close to third base yet. So there is no way that anyone would think you are watching the touch of third base.

It had nothing to do with the PU responsibility at third.

So you are saying that touches of third are more important than touches of home? I guess you've never seen runners obviously miss bases on home runs.

A smart team would have someone in the dugout assigned to watch the base touches, and someone else to watch the umpires to see if they are watching the base touches.

As opposed to just unable to comprehend.

Your posts in this thred are crazy. No one knows what side you are on.
Summary of this thread:
**Thom Coste says to watch the base touches.
**You reply to Thom " I don't know that I agree"
**pdxblue replies to you "I agree...the UIC NEEDS to be paying attention to the pulled foot rather than worrying about runners touching 3rd and home."
**mcrowder says pdxblue is wrong
**You reply to mcrowder by saying "I'm sure the losing team, after being rung up on a blatantly missed tag at first, will take solace knowing R3 touched home plate even if it didn't count."
So far it is Thom and mcrowder who say to watch the touches, and you and pdxblue who say to watch the pulled foot.
**pdxblue disagrees with mcrowder
**RPatrino says to watch base touches
**I disagree with you (remember pdxblue is on your side saying to not watch the touches)
**You claim that you are for watching the base touches, going against what pdxblue would do
Obviously no one on this forum can understand which side of this discussion you are on.
