U1 was in RCF. U2 seemed to be closer to deep C and moved toward 1B to make the call but was still a long way from 1B.
Joe Morgan kept saying U2 should have gone out so U1 could stay at 1B for the call, but what does he know? I don't recall ever going out from the infield when I was working U2.

I thought the rotation looked right with RISP, but U2 was out of position (at a bad angle) to see the play really clearly. U3 and PU can't go anywhere with the RSIP. These guys rotated absolutely correctly, IMO.
Joe Morgan is an absolute idiot. By trying to explain the rotation he proved, once again, that he is the worst broadcaster in sports. That, plus his and his idiot partner's constant non-waiting for Tim McClelland to call balls and strikes (knowing that for 25 years Tim is very deliberate behind the plate) absolutely killed me.
