What does PU's verbal of a catch have to do with a tag up sitch? The fielder may have made contact with a fly ball that has not yet touched the ground which triggers the timing on the tag up; if the ball is then caught before touching the ground, then the verbal from PU is meaningless, except to rule BR Out.
As BU, isn't it my responsibility to see both the play and the runner to know whether the runner left early or not?
