And if I am the PU and you are my BU and you don't know if the B/R touched 1B, you and I will be having a private conversation.

What do you do when 3 runners are on base and a ball hit in the gap? You cannot possibly watch each runner touch each base. I am suggesting you glance at the catch/no catch foul/fair or tree limb clip and then return to your normal duties as base umpire. 2-man is tough enough without one partner basically sticking his head in the sand.
