Even on the 60' its never heard of BU's oing out on fly balls. I dont know, but ill let you know what i come up with, definate problems here.

What your partner was describing to you was what's referred to as "working the V." Here are the responsibilities when working from inside.
Plate Umpire is responsible for fly balls hit from the left fielder to the left field foul line and into foul territory, as well as from the right fielder to the right field foul line and into foul territory. These responsibilities include fair / foul and catch / no catch on both foul lines. The plate umpire has catch / no catch responsibility for all fly balls handled by the pitcher and the catcher, as well as fly balls and line drives which take the 1st and 3rd basemen toward their respective lines.
Base Umpire is responsible for any fly ball hit directly at any outfielder and all balls hit between the left and right fielders. He will have to shoulder-check to pick up the tag-up at 1st base On fly balls and line drives hit to the infield, he will be responsible for catch / no catch on all balls hit directly at the 1st and 3rd basemen and everything between them.
