This was my point...why have U1 (the first base ump) STAY at first? First base is a non-issue after it's been touched. This makes the mechanics EXACTLY like the two-man mechanics would be on a double to the outfield (watch the touch, pivot and take R1 to 2nd). U2 and U3 stay where they are. Why have U2 GUESS where to go when he doesn't have to?
FYI: We had a pregame conference about this and had THREE different opinions about what should happen. One guy suggested in most situation we stay in between the bases and figure out where to go as the play develops. My comment was, "So we've got three umpires out here and NONE of us should be actually positioned AT a base?"
