Mechanics Question

[wadeintothem]

C is in never never land for this call at first. PU does have responsibilities at 3 such as making sure the runner touches the bag.. I would be doing that and watching the play... but it can be difficult. I chalk this stuff up to inherent problems with 2 man.

So to answer, no, there is no way to be in perfect position for this call; this is one of the shortcomings of 2 man, and there is no real good way to resolve it. Even putting BU behind the pitcher (like BB) is not good because of the 60' fields.

If teams and leagues want this called better, they need to pay for it by adding another umpire.
