Two man mechanics. U1 is in B or C spot. Batter lays down a bunt, which is fielded by F1, who then decides to make life difficult by dropping the ball. F1 then moves toward the line to attempt a tag of B/R. U1 has appropriately moved toward the play, and is now set just behind/near the mound. F1 attempts a tag along 1B line; PU is straight-lined, and cannot tell if the tag is made or not. U1 can clearly see the tag is missed. Question: Should U1 provide a signal and verbal indication of the missed tag? If so, what should U1 say and do in the way of signaling the missed tag?

Came across this video from the WBC. What is the proper mechanic for this play? When both tag and plate were missed, should the UIC have signaled nothing until the tag was finally made? Making that "safe" call initially doesn't make much sense to me. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=25647757&topic_id=41639656 I did think the play-by-play call was quite amusing: "Safe initially, now tagged out at the plate!"
