Thanks!
I never wait to see the throw. I always wait to see the player field. It will be less than a quarter second from passing the runner to reaching the fielder so it is time well spent. If F6 fields it clean he can throw it in the fourth row for all I care, he was not interfered with, unless of course it was some obvious stupid move by the runner, in which case I kill it before the throw.
