Don't read too much into this. Don't see where anyone suggested leaving the plate area, but I'm certainly not going to go to the back, outside corner of the RHBB and wait for a play.

Well, that's what I was talking about... People might read that the umpire should go to the holding zone that's about halfway up the line in foul territory, and that's not where they should be in a 3-umpire crew with the 1BU counter-rotated and "all in."

Point of plate anyone?
