On a side note, if a coach asks you if you were watching a base, he should be asked to head back to the dugout. By no means do you answer this question. They can appeal, or not appeal. Then you rule.

Before I read Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s response, I was going to say....."My sentiments, exactly"!!
Now I'll just say, "I agree".
And I'll also add (relating to:
you show one of the limitations of 2 man mechanics. While the BU is responsible for the touching of first, the were probably trying to get out of the way of the SS and/ or runner at second. The reality is that it is a stretch to see that play on first even if the BU was looking specifically for it due to the distance on the play. Bottom line is that it is the BU call but they won't can't make it the MAJORITY of the time
that I don't see this as a particularl tough 2 man call..
R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd, ball hit to the gap (clean base hit)....
BU busts in to working area his primary job IS BR.... PU moves to working area, has an easy touch of the plate and is ready for play at 3rd.....
