How to move to view pitch

Maybe I'm just reading this post wrong (I hope), as nothing was said (here) about the pitch not being seen, but it seems to me that "everyone watching the runner....gets you an extra strike", sounds like an ump "has a hot date, wants to get out of there" scenario. After 10 yrs of varsity umping, I'm there until the game is over, not looking for trick ways to shorten the game, by what, 45 seconds?...
