2 Man Responsibilities/Mechanics

[rah718]

Here again is my point. You are asking the PU to do the same thing (look in two different directions) you're suggesting is unreasonable for the BU to do.

The PU has more responsibilty of fair/foul, catch and tag ups than the BU who is only concentrating on the tag up.

Here again is my question. What do you suggest the mechanic be?

This situation can be kicked around for ever, with no "GOOD" solution, to have every base & sit. covered.
Communication w/partner and a good pre-game w/partner is essential requirements.
What it comes down to it, there are only 2 umpires, and you cannot see "everything". Some may say this is a excuse, but you can only watch so many things at 1 time.
Now if you had eyes like the actor Marty Feldman, (deceased) you could see both the 1st base line and 3rd base tag up.
Good luck.
