CWS FL-AZ plate umpire

Did anyone else catch the collision between U1 and a fielder (I think F3) during Monday night's game?

The first play (at 1B) is the first responsibility, then release to 3B. If a runner is going from 1 to 3, and is very fast, it is possible that the plate umpire might not make it all the way to 3B when the play happens.

Well, I have a hard time with that one.

R1 is going to reach 2nd with possible movement toward 3B before a pulled foot may occur. I would think the priority it the possible play two bases closer to home..

I wasn't questioning the accuracy of the post, just don't care for it as a mechanic.
