3 Man rotation

[JJ]

I believe the quote is,

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day.
Teach him to fish and he'll sit in a boat all day and drink beer."

I don't need no stinkin' boat for that.

Actually it was super easy. For the plate guy, it was a very relaxing day behind the plate. The base umpires took care of just about everything. Minimal rotations, you just have to be flexable and alert when on the bases.

3 man rotations, when followed correctly, will become very routine and second nature once you know the situations. I would ask first, what level of ball are you working where you are using 3 man? If its D1 get the CCA book. I also would advise you to get the PBUC manual also. Some of the explanations have been too general and not specific. The one thing that is a must is for you and your crew to have a very detailed pregame. F/F, catch/no catch, baserunner responsibilities and communication are very critical to a successful 3 man crew

cub42 is correct... if your using OBR rules.. they use a little different 3 man than CCA... so you should check and see what kind of Mechanics they are using.
