Would you,while BU, ask for help from PU in this sitch?
If you were PU would you be looking at first or runner touching/missing second?

Thanks for all of ya'lls help this year.

Why would a coach ask you to get help on this play? You're starting in B, you take a few steps, you come set, you make the call.

Any particular reason the coach is asking?

(I've asked a plate umpire for help at first twice in 24 years. The last time was in 2001, so I'm probably due again soon.)
