Stop at :9, right after the 1B tries the swipe tag and make your decision, both as the BU and as the PU in case you are asked for help.

 

What are you going to do in a 2 man when the coach says get help, get help, you gotta get help on that? Then if you do get help, why?, and what are you as the PU going to do??? Boy that foot had to have came off the bag, or why else did he try to tag him, right? As the PU, you are 110% sure it came off the bag early since you have come up the line to help, right. Coaches only argue when you call out rather than call safe, correct? , when you do not have IR like MLB has now. Why do they always ask for help when you are correct with the out call rather than incorrect with the safe call like in the MLB video. What's with that 2 sided ness for help on an out call but no help on a safe call. What gives?

 

Then go to 1:43 and watch 1:43 through the middle of 1:44, not the end of 1:44 and 145. Just because the 1B leans, means nothing, just like a player leaning just before leaving on a tag up situation. Don't penalize that leaning body motion. Don't penalize that player for trying to reach back for the tag right, that in his mind gives it away that he was not on the bag, right??? Don't play off his actions/reactions right?
