Three person system..what fun!

I must agree with FUblue, it is a joy to work 3 person. I personally enjoy being the rabbit and making the call at 2nd on a steal. For once, everything is there and you don't have to hustle to get into position. It makes everything perfect!

You haven't hustled in years!!!

Seriously, with three-person the constant "chicken with a head cut off" doesn't happen. You have time to react to situations, think about plays, and make judgments. Great example.

MD and I worked the other day in three person: I'm on dish, "J" on first, MD on third. SItuation: Shot to right field, throw to first. J opens up to see the play from the outside...no time to get inside AND out of the way...and throw goes wild. MD, even with his mild hustle, is waiting at second for the runner. We have a throw, and an out.

In two person system, either BU (J) or I have to bust our rears to get in the best position for that call. In three person, MD is there waiting.

I was moving into a position at third in case of a second overthrow. J was starting to peel a little towards the plate.

ALWAYS AHEAD OF THE RUNNER

In two person, you don't get that as much as you should/would like.
