No one in their right mind would expect the BU to cover a subsequent play at 3rd after a botched play @ 2nd. Shy of being physically disabled on the pitch, there is no excuse for the PU to not be able to cover 3rd.
And yet, some BU will call that play at 3rd from between the pitcher circle and C slot.
What about this with a runner on 2nd tagging up on an outfield fly?

The Umpire Manual for runner on second base only, fly ball to outfield; seems to contradict itself.
For PU - “any play on the lead runner at 3B”
For BU - “the last runner to 3B”
