Edge of the grass no way this can be done.

I believe I can get in position (and have done so many times) to see a catch in the V and the tag at 2B, and move my feet to get in position for the next play. If the ball is deep,. and that would be a very good reason to get on edge of the grass, I have plenty of time to move my feet for the next play. On a deep ball I can get on the edge of the grass in the 2B cutout and there is no way I would miss a tag at 2B. If shallow there is not likely to be a play. If bases are juiced, my partner has tag at 3rd, and I have 2nd. Neither of us has 1B, remember it's 2 man, and you can't do everything in 2 man. If runners on 1st and 2nd I have the catch and the tag at 2B. And, if there is to be a tag with runners on 1st and 2nd that means there are less than 2 outs and my partner will be coming up to 3B to take the runner from 2B into 3B, should he go, so I can stay at 2B for a play on R2 returning or R1 advancing. We covered this situation in pregame.
