As long as there is a runner between 2B & 3B, how can there NOT be a potential play at 2B?

If a player hits a triple, it isn't the PUs call anyway.

I'd say i think it can be read when there is potential of a run down, and that mean that I dont believe the BU has reached the "unemployed spectator" status.

That status happens when the play at 3B is obvious and PU is then forced to trail the runner home on the broken play at 3B.

Lets say BU did go home early or read it incorrectly, PU would probably have to pick up the slack by taking 2B temporarily while BU readjusted.

Certianly, whatever reasoning would make someone think PU couldnt cover 2B on that, should preclude you from believe you could cover home and 3B on that. Both bases are 50-55 feet from you.

I agree with Big Slick. All systems are not fool proof for all situations. In order to work at any level, you need to be able to read and react. There are times that working the outside edge will work ,and other times it will bite you in a bad way.
