In the group of umpires that I work with, there is some difference of opinion on how to handle the following situations in a 2-man crew. I would appreciate opinions on the proper mechanics for the following situation (90-foot diamond).
There is a bunt, or a slow roller in front of the plate where F1, F5, or F2 must field the ball with a R2. What are the responsibilities of the PU and the BU? Also, does it make a difference if there is a R3 and/or R1?
I had a situation recently where both of us umpires ended up at third, the pitcher fielded the ball, turned and threw to first. We didn't look very good on that play! I now make it a point to discuss this in pre-game, but like I said, there is differences of opinion on how to cover this. What's the best way to cover it?
