In different areas, the particulars on plays may differ. But yes, I would assume that this girl, working 3 years in the same area, would know what Larry meant ... but as I read this, it seemed to me that it was LARRY who meant something different that I expected. With anyone I work with, PU would have had this call. If what he said means something different where he works, then he should have been clearer.

Here, PU has that call. It's a tag play, on the lead runner. LR belongs to PU.
