I was trying to respond to a discussion on another board, but seem to have locked myself out for 15 minutes, so while I wait.
The topic was the ole; R2, bunt down the 1B line with a play to 1B, R2 cuts "inside the cut-out" at 3rd, as he advances to HP on the throw to 1B.
The consensus over there seems to be that; there is NO WAY, a two man crew can ever spot this!!
I am in the other court saying that this should be caught more than not by U1. By no means am I saying everytime, but, what else do I have to do as U1.
Unless the ball is teatering on the FL, and 4 bodies are converging on the running lane, I routinely have time to check R2 at 3rd.
If it's anywhere away from the line, I'm already cheating a bit to get some where near an angle on 3RD. As that could be my next responsibility!
