I still can't believe that nobody has jumped on the part where a poster said he doesn't start for third until the ball reaches the plate. Good luck making a call if you do that.

As soon as the BU knows R2 is breaking, the BU has to start for the 45 foot mark between home and third if he ever wants to get a good angle on the play.
[/B][/QUOTE]I don't leave my position until the ball arrives at the plate. I don't want to distract the batter and I feel I am abandoning my partner on stuff like check swings and batted balls off feet that I might have to give help on. I can still get a couple steps towards the 45 and be in position when the ball arrives at 3B. I don't have to be close, just get the angle.
