mechanics videos

I know I had videos for 2 umpire mechanics, or at least links to good ones. I can't find them lately, so please help me with a link.
I'm looking for a 2 umpire version, similar to this good 3 umpire one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br1dHreiZ2E
I don't mean the full length ASA videos from years ago or the animated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhCk8R_G378
The best of what I have is "umpire mechanic training.pdf", but don't remember the source.
Thank you

Hi Cecil,

I can't offer any suggestions for what you're looking for but given this thread I'm looking for something similar.

I seem to recall a video posted somewhere by Emily Alexander (I think) about some alternate mechanics in the 2-ump system. For balls hit to left or left-center, the BU could stay outside the diamond and still have full view of the elements to be able to make a call on a tag play.

Any pointers are appreciated.

Have you tried the new USA Manual as it is interactive

If my memory serves me correctly, Emily Alexander disbanded the Cactus Umpires Association a few years ago and it's website is no more.

Of course I did, but I'm looking for all one piece, not segments of the full length overly wordy one.

Thanx, Mark. The video I (thought I) saw was post-Cactus. I should have down-loaded it when I first saw it, but thought I'd get back to it later. And I never did.

You're welcome.

Getting back to it later is similar to putting something in a safe place and then forgetting where that safe place is, 🤣!
