Nothing really changes except the ease of the umpire to attain a good position for the plays at hand. You actually have to work it to appreciate it.

Worked a game like this recently, was easy and all was covered. Also non-rotated, i.e., PU stayed home, BUs covered all bases. Plus, really helped with minimizing running on a very hot day.
