In general, the first baseman covers first base, the second baseman or shortstop covers second, the third baseman covers third, and the catcher covers home base.

 Food Product Design: Foodservice Focus - April 2004 - Covering All Bases
Base design had to change to serve not only the demands of the consumer -- with a more sophisticated palate -- but also foodservice establishments that needed more functionality and convenience.
Bases originally were created to save cooks time by eliminating the tedious steps of scratch-making broths and stocks.
Though the bases themselves may be somewhat pricy, the ultimate cost savings is substantial when numbers on making stocks from scratch are calculated and compared with the bases.

In fiscal 2001, the bases received $18.4 billion from the DOD for an estimated economic impact of $43.5 billion, according to the TMPC report.
The DOD will judge the military value of a base by the relevance of its mission, whether it is training and deploying troops or building and repairing equipment, and how effectively and efficiently the base carries out its mission, Van de Putte said.
The Secretary of Defense must submit the list of bases recommended for closure by May 2005 to the congressional defense committees and the BRAC commission, but local communities aren't waiting until their bases are on the chopping block to take action.

In addition to considering site size, current cover costs and the extent to which an ADC will be used, landfill managers also should make careful note of the facility's environmental conditions.
A landfill owner's choice of tarp attributes will be based on the various factors to contend with at the landfill, such as water infiltration of the open face or odors.
Another issue a landfill manager should consider before purchasing a product is, according to Gormish, “How well does the product cover the waste, and at what thickness is it applied?” The less waste that is exposed, the better the landfill manager will be able to control appearance, odors and vectors, she says.

 John Berardi - Covering Nutritional Bases
You see, different foods — based on their digestibility, micronutrient composition, protein content, and a number of other factors — can lead to marked fluctuations in the acid-base status of the body.
And when the sum total of all the acid producing and the base producing micro and macronutrients is tabulated (at the end of a meal or at the end of a day), we're left with a calculated acid-base load.
This score, however, reflects total acid and base load of a mixed diet and not the acid or base load of the individual foods in the diet.

In a time of decreasing availability of developable real estate, bases closings — which often are near large metropolitan areas — can provide some of the largest expanses of undeveloped and valuable land in the country.
Each base will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, depending on land availability and approval of environmental safety.
It's also common for the U.S. Government to convey former military bases to public agencies with the caveat that a portion of the former base be set aside to assist the needs of local faith-based entities.

If there is no runner on base, a catcher must make sure they back-up first base on all throws from the infield.
When a ball is hit into the outfield, and there is not a runner on base, the catcher should trail the runner to first base.
You can either instruct your first baseman to follow the runner off the base (allowing the catcher to cover first on a throw behind), or the catcher can back-up the first baseman on a throw back to first.

 SEC Speech: Covering the Bases (Linda C. Thomsen)

 Catchers Job Covering Bases
With a runner on first base you can still back up first, just be aware that you may have to hustle back to the plate.
I don't like a pitcher covering any base, as there is a potential for injury on a close play.
So, unless your coach tells you not to cover third, get there as soon as the third baseman communicates he is making the play on the bunt.

 Bronson Arroyo : Covering the Bases - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The direct result of Boston's 2004 curse-busting championship season, Covering the Bases (released the same day as the 2005 All-Star Game, natch) features Boston pitcher Bronson Arroyo singing classic grunge and modern rock radio hits from the 1990s -- essentially the music he grew up with.
Given the high-powered musicians involved, every note of Covering the Bases is the slickest of the slick, from the "Freshman" to "Hunger Strike," and that kind of robs the album of charisma.
You get the idea: Covering the Bases isn't really meant to be a real album, but it's a fun diversion for Arroyo and his fans.

Cisco tends to cover all the bases by offering a product for just about every aspect of the network-equipment market.

His ability to cover the plate and hit the ball with power to all fields makes him a sure-fire draftable kid after his senior season at Mt. Lebanon.

 Covering The Bases by Bronson Arroyo CD
Just shy of a year after the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 (their first taste of that glory in nearly a century), Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo furthered the most storied rivalry in sports history.
The releases befit the personalities of the two teams: where Williams's was a sober, serious jazz affair, Arroyo's spills out loosely, like the Sox sometimes do to the bars outside Fenway Park for a post-game celebration.
A straightforward collection of cover songs (most of which date from the 1990s), COVERING THE BASES doesn't break any new ground and isn't trying to.

He was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts in being named the league's pitcher of the week for May 1-8.
But in his first start after receiving that honor, he lasted one-third of an inning in Thursday's strange wet-field-delayed game and was charged with four runs after reliever Stephen Bray surrendered a grand slam after Ballouli had put the three runners on base.
And he came out of the game with a tight shoulder that could put him on the shelf for a couple of weeks.
