Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if we've pregamed this situation and I see the base umpire is following the ball, wouldn't I be at least taking a glance at the runner to see if the batter-runner had touched first ?? Obviously, I can't do this instead of taking the catch, but couldn't I be of potential help here if there was an appeal ??
