4 Man Mechanics - Pressure @2nd base

[ozzy6900]

Curious as to how this is handled in different parts of the Country.

• 4 man crew
• Bases loaded
• Infield playing on the grass (in)

My curiosity came about when I saw this situation with all runners in a deep secondary. The umpire looked as if he were trapped in front of 2nd base with no where to go. The batter smashed a shot for a base clearing home run, so I never got to see what the situation would come to.

I believe that I would choose the old mechanic of slipping out between F4 & 2nd base and position myself on the dirt. This would keep me out of the "mix".

Like I said, I just want to know how you guys deal with this situation.
