Being "hung out to dry"

[DG]

If I was PU I would have been about half way up the line in case you needed me, but it's your call at 3B in this play. R1 touching is not as important on this play as a potential throw to 3B, and in fact irrelevant since it was a flair and both runners were well off their base.

Now if it was a routine fly ball with catch and throw to 3B I would expect my partner to be at 3b for R2 advancing, and I cover this in pregame. But not on a flair.
