One perfect reason JUCO should pay for a 3rd umpire...

BU's call - but as PU, unless the timing of the throw prohibits me doing so, I'm glancing over to 2nd as R1 rounds, knowing this is ALWAYS a hole in 2-man coverage. (That said, very often the timing of the throw DOES prohibit you from glancing over).

BU should have this in the back of his head as well though. Positioning sucks for making that glance, but if PU's timing is wrong for this it's very possible BU's is not, as their primary will be the play at the base - if the throw is about to happen, you can sometimes look over quickly.

Just know it's a hole, and both of you do your best to check it if possible.
