Having the luxury to sit here and contemplate the play, I would say the priority due to the game situation would be the play at first. This play could end or prolong the ball game. I would want to get that one right. I would think that everyone in the park would be focused on that play and if the trail runner missed third, it is highly unlikely that anyone would pick that up.

I agree. I suspect that a discussion over a possible pulled foot at 1B could lead to an ejection - moreso than the possibility of a runner not touching the plate or 3B.
