Fair/Foul with R1 coming home

This was on the baseball board:

Quote:

With the bases loaded, the plate umpire will give up fair/foul decisions outside the circle to the wing umpires so he can prepare for a possible play at the plate. This is an advanced 3- or 4-man mechanic.

It happened in a MLB game with a slow roller near the line as the runner was coming home.

Thoughts about giving up fair/foul in FP?
