On a deep ball I can get on the edge of the grass in the 2B cutout and there is no way I would miss a tag at 2B. If shallow there is not likely to be a play. If bases are juiced, my partner has tag at 3rd, and I have 2nd. Neither of us has 1B, remember it's 2 man, and you can't do everything in 2 man. If runners on 1st and 2nd I have the catch and the tag at 2B. And, if there is to be a tag with runners on 1st and 2nd that means there are less than 2 outs and my partner will be coming up to 3B to take the runner from 2B into 3B, should he go, so I can stay at 2B for a play on R2 returning or R1 advancing. We covered this situation in pregame.

No one has the touch and tag at first? Tag at first doesn't happen often but you got to get this call. What are you going to do if there's an overthrow and R1 is standing on second and they appeal first. What's the call? Both teams saw him leave early your crew didn't. It's the U1 job to get the tag and touch at first. You'll have paper work when you get home. Like I said bad advice.
