The notion of having 3 umps justifies going out on a base hit is not valid reasoning IMHO. Not pickin on Tim.. I just wanted the posters to know the actual mechanics of 3 man.

So when U1 moves to watch the B/R touch first, the eyes in the back of his head are to watch the ball bounce near fans, fences, etc?
