What are the mechanics for this call/who's call is it?"
Thanks fellas. Have a good season!

As the others have said, the *standard* mechanic is for PU to take this play. But, if PU falls down or falls asleeep, BU needs to take it. If PU is injured or immobile, then the crew can agree for alternate mechanics that would give the call to BU.
