What's wrong with the two-umpire system?

My most common difficult coverage is with runners at the corners with an infield grounder. The play can legitimately go three places (1B, 2B or home); meanwhile as BU your kinda hung out there behind F6.

Don't forget in this situation that one also has to see if a runner leaves (too) early...

Had a coach complainig to me a couple of weeks ago, after I called his runner from 1st base out. He said that I had to watch 3rth base stealing to early. So I couldn't see it right. IMHO I'm watching 1st base. Most chance she leaving to early. Are you (trying to) watch(ing) both runners...

So I have to agree, it's not a nice situation... but 2 man-system is having more fun than 3 man-system! Altough you have a worse couvering...
