Sometimes you get lucky. If none of the manager's comes out, you probably have the right result. R1 on second, B/R out on the 2-3 play. If the BU remains silent, it might turn out all right. A kind BU might signal "safe at second", to keep the defense from trying to push a bad situation and claim that there's a double play (R1 didn't retouch on the "caught fly").
The hardest thing for me as BU in these situations is to let the PU be in control when things go shaky. But, the right thing is for the PU to take control. I would hope that the PU would ask me what I saw before declaring a double play on the failure to retouch, and I would feel badly for the manager who got tossed for the PU's error.
Does anyone use a "come talk to me" signal that says I think you blew it, but I'm going to stay out here until you toss someone or come see me.
