Being inside facing 2nd (unless you back up almost to the circle), you can't see both the catch on the LF line and anything at first (assuming your eyeballs are not in your ears. ) Besides, if possible, you don't want a peripheral angle on the first touch by LF... you'd like that in your direct background as you're watching the touch (or the touch in your foreground as you see the first touch by LF).
My mistype (again!), obviously "INSIDE worse" is what I was disagreeing with.

To me, getting inside, facing 2nd with 1st and left field seen peripherally would cover all and not be in any throwing lane.

How do you see the LF touch at alll when outside (yes meant outside this time)?
