The problem is that when you take your eyes off the field, you're playing with fire. Especially when your BU might be spacing out at the end of a DH or something, and coming out of his lock in with eyes and mind wandering. End of story.
Let's say you point to the side, and then all the sudden there is
a) A delayed steal of home
b) The catcher wants another ball
c) The pitcher wipes his hand to his mouth
d) A catch/no cath on a 3rd strike
But hey, at least when you face the side you can see what's REALLY important. (sarcasm detector reaching level 9 now)
a) The hot mom sitting in the first row.
b) Knitting grandma
Eyes on the field, except for maybe reason A, but just between innings cause that way I get to fully appreciate. Then you can think about
1) "Does she dig me for my mechanics?"
2) "I hope its not Skip's wife."
3) "Can she see my inner beauty, as in, my sweet West Vest Gold?"
4) "Let me wipe the sweat off my forehead to impress her."

Do not discount B, some of those grandma's have Bow-Flex bodies and are HOTT. And I hope it is #2!
Now to your points.
A) I hope every R3 delay steals home while F2 is holding the baseball.
B) Never happened to me, but he can wait like we wait for him to get the damn signs from the pitching coach
C) Now this is a serious one, their is no penalty for this in NCAA unless he is on the rubber, but turn the TV on, and watch a few innings, almost ever pitcher goes to his mouth while inside the circle when he is getting the ball back from the pitcher, and how many balls have you seen awarded to the batter?
D) On strike 3 I go straight back, but even then timing is the key, punch out or dropped mechanic.
