A stupid play and highly risky coaching manuever for a coach who has 2 players in scoring position. BU can call a lane violation at 1B if he sees it---although he should wait to see if PU is taking the call first. Unless R2 and R3 are moving at exactly the same speed, it's still possible to see both touches on the bases which should occur before any pulled foot occurring at 1B. Some umps may be watching the tag at home while some may watch the tag at 3B.
Which ump did you get today and what will he be watching?
Do you feel lucky?
Do you gamble your team's skill against luck?
