What association are you calling for? May make a difference...

Let's assume no one goes out to call the catch or fair/foul, and let's assume we're talking ASA.

If there are no runners on, 3BU goes inside to cover the batter-runner going to 2B. If there's a lone runner on 1B, 3BU covers 2B, including the BR. If there's a single runner on 3B, 3BU releases to cover the BR going to 2B only if the runner on 3rd is absolutely committed to heading home.

So in a nutshell, as long as 1BU is NOT counter-rotated, 3BU will usually have calls at 2B.

In all other cases, 1BU has the BR going to 2B.

If I screwed that up, someone will let me know.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
