The current Obstruction Thread brought to mind what is probably the most difficult mechanic for a softball umpire. To be in C and have a pick-off play at 1B.

With a runner at 2B, you cannot come inside. If you didn't have obstruction at1B, then you would have a tag play at 3B and you should be outside.

Regardless of a play at 3B, it is almost impossible to see the pick-off play from C. So what do each of you do? Make the call, then confer with partner if coach complains? Do you have signals with partner? Or simply transfer the call to the PU?
