Anytime I've got runners actively running the bases, my mask comes off and I move away from behind the catcher, even if it's just a single runner stealing 2nd. In the case of a runner stealing 2nd (and not a D3K situation), or even a ball 4 situation, I do move up a the 3B line a little and watch the play. There's no reason for me to park my butt behind home plate.

Also - this is one of the items we discuss at pre-game, especially when working 5 or 6 games or in 100 degrees.

Well, with multiple runners, the BU is going to be in C anyway, so they can usually cover someone stealing 2B or 3B. So I guess my question is... Why shouldn't this be the PU's call at 3B with a runner stealing from 1B to 2B and subsequently to 3B?

Perhaps around here it's not always PU's call because with 5-6 games and 100 degrees we try to limit our PU's having to run around in the gear where possible.

While the default coverage is the lone runner belongs to the base umpire, the standard expectation is that PU will call off BU with "I've got 3rd!!" any time possible. It isn't default to PU because PU must also be sure to clear the catcher and not interfere with the play, which isn't always possible in a timely manner.
