It looked like the PU was frozen. He kept checking the runner at third while watching the play at 1st. He should have moved his feet instead of just his head.
I know the mechanic in this play is at 3rd BLex but I've never liked that. I like to work 1st BLex. I feel I get a better view of the play developing and also of the front edge of the plate.
Either way, he needed to slow down and get the call right. He should have allowed the coach a little more room since he obviously screwed up the call.
