My understanding also is that the BU should only consider going out when they start in A.

In pregame when I am PU, I will tell my partner that if they feel they need to, "or just want to" go out on a ball to right field, feel free to and that I will have the batter runner. I think going out when not in A is not the best coverage of the things that can happen on the field.
