With one umpire, stress angle over distance. If you have multiple runners, widen your position, especially when you notice two events are going to happen at nearly the same time (and especially with 2 outs). In the situation you describe, back up. Make sure the secondary event is in your peripheral vision when ruling on the primary event.
And if they complain - tell them to hire another freaking umpire.
