When members in our association work this game, we discuss this situation in pregame. We change it up for PU to take both fair/foul and play at frst, but be aware for play at home. That way BU can watch the cheater miss third, and if appealed we got it covered.

Do you think this is a good mechanic in this sitch.

I'd have PU move back to take the fair / foul call and still glance at third.

I think this gives you coverage more consistent with normal responsibilities.

I'd have to agree. Let's assume the play at 1st is a close one and you bang him out as the PU. That same coach that tried the miss at 3B is going to come out yelling something similar to "Why are you making that call? That's the BU's call! There's no way you saw the play!"

I don't have much patience with coaches who interrupt a game to tutor the umpires.

me neither. don't worrry...I got an email from a coach about a play in my game last Sunday...(I got the email 4 days later)...furthermore, they were arguing an unannouced sub rule as an illegal sub. makes me want to scream. adult league. whining babies....I had the instance where the coach comes out at about pitch 5 of his pitching change only to get more pitches for his pitcher after his change. 1 man game...no partner help.
