Who's on third?

I agree with Tim C...I was taught in the NAPBL minor leagues that the yelling of "I'm on the line" by the PU was the cue from the PU to the BU that the BU had any play into third.

I like the "I'm on the line".

In response to Bob Jenkins, this is the exact reason why as BU I'm gonna move towards the 3rd base line here. 99% of the time, nothing will be happening at 1st base, unless the RF is playing 30 feet into the outfield and its a linedrive. I'll be able to take 6-7 steps in any other situation towards first if I see a throw going there, and that will be able to get me the angle I need (even though I'm really far away).
