Can a ball in the dirt be a strike?

By the way... how did the "I've got 3B; you are supposed to peel off at 2B and go home" mechanic ever get started? I think the next partner that suggest that to me, I am going to counter with: "Let's have the BU take the call at 1B, the PU then take 2B, BU take 3B and PU take home." That seems to make just about as much sense. [/B]

It certainly doen't make sense with a BR. There was a time whne with the only runner on 2nd and in B for SP, we tried PU covering 3rd (being closer) and BU covering home but gave it up.
