Therefore, to answer your little twist: If I'm PU, I'm communicating to my partner that I've got additional responsibilities (fair/foul); if I'm BU, I'm listening for my partner and (even in a game with an ASA evaluator) I may stay outside for a better angle.

I tried for simple, let me try a little harder. Who would have fair/foul call and, in a 2-umpire game, call at 3B?
