3 Person Mechanic Question

No. When U1 is in the counter-rotated position, there is no rotation if no base umpire chases; U1 has all plays at both 1B and 2B from the counter-rotated position. U1 buttonhooks, takes the tag up at 1B, and takes R2 to 2B, if that happens. PU has the catch/no catch, the fair/foul if it drops, and in play/out of play, and any play at the plate; PU must stay on the line near the plate, or line up the out of play line/fence, if that comes into play. U3 has the tag up at 3B, and any subsequent play at 3B; with a fly ball to right field, that is likely best lined up from foul ground, then await any subsequent play.

I want you to know that I typed a nice long response to this question and posted it, merely to find that you had already posted this. So...I went and deleted the redundacy!

That makes sense!
