HS double header yesterday - varsity folled by JV. Varsity game went pretty much as expected and then my partner had the plate for the JV game. My partner "anticipated" that the JV's would make the expected play with 2 outs, so he was out of position for what happened and almost ate a throw. We laughed about that one for a while in our post-game, but I think he got the point.

If you are talking about assuming a play at 1st and trailing the runner, I always watch the ball first and make sure I am far enough down the line to avoid the throw (assuming anywhere near on target).

I have been there before. Was working a JV game alone. 2 outs with runner on 2nd. Easy ground ball to 2nd baseman. I come out from behind the catcher and follow the batter/runner up the 1st baseline. Keeping my eye on the ball, as a good ump should, I see the 2nd basemen come up throwing to 3rd to gun the runner out coming from 2nd. Luckily she threw it over the 3rd baseman's head out of play. Just never know what to expect at the lower levels of play.
