2-man Mechanics, bunt situation

[WestMichBlue]

Runner at 1B, less than 2 outs, obvious bunt situation. F5 and F3 charge, F6 to 2B, F4 to 1B. With any agressive team, R1 is going to hit 2B and keep going, unless F7 get in to cover 3B.

My issue is PU mechanics. It is going to get congested in front of the plate with F1, F2, F3, F5, B-R, and ball all in this small area. Obviously PU has to cover fair/foul and possible OBS/INT. However, after a play at first, if R1 is going to 3B there is going to be a very fast throw to 3B. In my mind, the PU is going to have to bail out as soon as the throw is made to 1B to have any chance of getting close to 3B.

In doing so, you obviously give up your view of 3' lane violations/swipe tag/pulled foot. Is that the lessor of two evils? (The greater not being in position to make an out/safe call at 3B.)
