Optional Mechanic - BU Takes 2nd Play of R1 at 3B

On the single, PU at third makes more sense.

On the ball in the infield, BU makes more sense.

JMO, of course.

I was recounting a ball hit in the infield, but I'm sure they were including a clean single. They were saying that only one play can be made at a time and with the positioning of the BU in the "Box" he is capable of making those calls.
