What Cecil said....
FWIW, I have heard of a variation of this coming over from baseball.
Some two-umpire BB mechanics are teaching that with a runner on third only, the BU should start in the B position behind F4. The reasoning is that the BU is in a better position for the "most likely" play at first if the ball is put in play, but can still have an angle for a pickoff attempt at third. In any case, the BU still has the P/O at third as the PU will likely be looking straight up the back of a runner returning to third.
