Fine, and the book says that steals from 2nd to 3rd are PU call. We do not do that, unless the BU is far away covering R2.
It is all from pre-game, AFAIK BU covers 3rd when:
last runner on batted ball
play at 3rd when it is the first play from the infield
steal of 3rd
pickoff at 3rd
runner from 2nd on a tag up
PU has a play at the plate or is trapped
