Spence,
1. Yes. The Base Ump is responsible for both the call at 2B and the call at 1B.
2. You might get two different answers on this one. I believe that the BU is responsible for a possible FPSR violation at 2B UNTIL the pivot man releases the throw. Once the throw is released, the PU is responsible for the FPSR violation.
Others might suggest that the PU has primary responsibility for the FPSR violation throughout the play.
