By going into foul territory, I would have to be well off the foul line to not have my line of site blocked by the coach or R3, but I can see your point that I'm in much better position to make my call at the plate.

I would just have to program myself to position myself differently in that sit vs if there was no runner at 3rd.

Interesting.
I'm with Dave here. PU staying in foul territory with a runner on 3B is pretty standard mechanic on any batted ball.
