Absolutely correct.

What if Umpire: Okay, here comes the throw. POP! Yep, beat him by 5 strides....but did the first baseman pull the foot just a bit early....hmmmm......what if the foot was pulled early......wow, I don't want to get this wrong......I know, I'll go to my partner to make sure I got this one right.....(looking up)...er, where is he?.......shouldn't he be trailing the batter-runner.......what's he doing up the third base line?..... there probably wasn't.....WAIT! where's the ball?......oh, the runner on first base must've kept running.....what am I going to do with this player and coach screaming at me for a call?.......

Yep, I want to be on that crew.
