The importance of the entire play (hit & run, bunt, slap etc) rests with whether they hold them @2 or advance to 3... or defense gets the outs.

Getting on top of a developing play at 3B is a very high priority play, if you are trailing the runner so far that the best you can do is a "good angle" at 3B, you trailed to far. IMO, you should be right there at 3B (5-6 ft at most) for the call or you didnt do it right.

so a possible play at third base is "more" important than a missed tag or pulled foot at first base?

Discuss.
