Simply put, I wanna be inside.
As for the parallel with a throw from OF, I quote Fronny, who sez it quite eloquently:
The reason the plate umpire can't take a throw that way is the unpredictable nature of the throw. A throw from the outfield can be way offline or cut by a defender and thrown to the plate. There's no way a PU could start behind the plate, come to a fixed point in front of the plate, and let a throw turn him to a play at the plate. Also, since the runner doesn't have to remain in contact with the plate, slides can be more unpredictable as well. And what if F2 wants to make a throw himself?

Ace, you dog, how have you been? Haven't heard from you in ages. Sadly, I now own both a Saab and a minivan, although my daughter is not yet old enough where my wife could be confused with a soccer mom. Yet.
