1st Playoff Series

Trouble spot #1: R3 only - fly ball to RF - U1 goes - U3 camps for the retouch at 3B - ball falls in - BR attempts 2B and no one there to cover it.

Trouble spot #2 - R1/R2 - double steal - U1 tries to help at 2B - throw goes to 2B and too many umpires are there to cover it.

- U3 has to hustle his rump to cover that, immediately start toward 2b, not camp for the retouch at 3b.

- U3 has initial responsibility for the play at 2b, unless there is a throw toward 3b, where that would be his call. U1 then would move toward 2b for any further action there, if any.

Agreed on the first -- I think that's why he listed it as "trouble".

Disagree on the second -- unless there's "more action" than just a throw to third, U1 won't beat R1 to second.
