Really?

Who has the second play in the infield, BU or PU?
Who covers third when R2 (only) tags up on a fly? What if it's R1 and R2?

If PU goes to third and the ball gets away, who covers home?

Who takes BR into second when, with no runners on a ground ball to an infielder is thrown past first?

Who takes BR to third on a triple?

Where is the delineation between PU and BU on a ground ball down the line toward first (who has the fair / foul call when)?

etc.


And, yes, there are "standard" answers to some or al of thes in almost all areas. Still, their covered in almost every pre-game, even at the college level.
