Get to 3B and be ready for the play whether it is a force or tag. It sounds like the BU is not the only one with poor mechanics. And, no double call if your partner hears "I've got 3B! I've got 3B!" Then, he knows PU has 3B.

Pausing, reading and reacting when making my way to 3B. Strongly disagree that a force call into third base is the call of the PU. I always discuss tag ups with R1 and R2 and less than two outs during pre-game.
