I know; that's why I said "not yet in print".

And that is as ridiculous as saying a PU cannot make an OBS call on a play at 2B simply because that is the BU's area of responsibility.

I've had a couple of BUs that incorrectly called an IF. Made for a real cluster both times. Had to fix the messes.

Some quote about "big bucks". ;) :)

Seriously, hope those were learning experiences. :rolleyes:

I'm in violent agreement. The one that I hear most often about the PU and second base is the Leaving Base Early violation. Yes, that's the BU's responsibility. No, the PU shouldn't mess with it if it's close. But if it's blatant and the BU is in LaLa land, the PU better damn well call it if he/she sees it.

And yet you've got advocates for the PU leaving that one alone because it's tantamount to throwing the BU under the bus, just like a BU calling IFF is doing the same to the PU. Bogus excuse.
