I'll run, move, adjust, lean, and even assume what I have to when working alone from behind the plate and take the greater percentage of correct calls rather than work from the mound area and risk missing what I percieve is too many calls.

The fair/foul call that you are in better position for if you are behind the plate.
Advantages of being behind the mound:
1. Pickoff at any base.
2. Steal 2nd or third.
3. Catch/No catch for outfield hits.
4. Double play.
5. When you go to dust off the rubber, you don't have to walk as far.
It may look weird, but standing in the infield allows you to guess on fewer calls per game.

Please tell me number 5 is a joke. Please.

I was thinking the same, Rich, but I felt it safer to not assume. Weirder things have been posted.
