BU - Modifying B or C depending on situation?

[IRISHMAFIA]

ASA mechanics are based on training thousands across the nation, but I wouldn't define them as the lowest common denominator. Having proposed a mechanic change for the three-umpire system, I discovered that the positions A, B, C or D are not standardly used among the NUS.

Obviously, I don't believe the C is the greatest position, either. But I don't think it is the worst. I have no problem with the C shading the 3B side of the the SS if the player's positions permit it. The priority call is that at 3B, not 1B. Making a call from this position is not that bad. Yes, it looks bad on a banger, but that doesn't mean you didn't have a good angle and a correct call. I believe it is very possible for an umpire to lose a dimension from the area around 2B unless the throw is coming from the area of the 3B line.

An umpire who moves with the play toward 1B as taught can sell that call with little to no problem. What I don't like to see is the BU hovering over F5's shoulder with a runner on 3B only. That is too far toward the 3B line and gives the impression the field is lopsided with both umpires being near the 3B line.

The C position is no worse than a one-umpire game where the call at 1B must be made from foul territory when there is a runner on 3B.
