Brush up on your mechanics and discuss situations such as this during pregame.

So let me get this straight. You didn't cover this and you are telling me to cover it. I guess I should learn from your mistake apparently. And, it apparently wasn't a force play so why weren't you at 3B if he tagged up? And, maybe it wasn't a trouble play b/c the book does say no need to signal on an obvious catch. Hmmmmmmm... You are coming at me when you were the one who didn't cover 3B on a play.

Wonder why I have never had a "double" call at 3B and my partners have never wondered if I was covering a play? Maybe it is b/c I communicate with them even if they don't with me.
