But, line drive in the gap - I think I would be going out toward the play just for this type situation.

Its easy to rim the infield and back to second if needed, PU can always watch the touch at first.

Either go out on the ball, in which case the PU watches the BR touch, and takes him around to 3rd, or come in and pivot, and the PU has the ball all the way. In what mechanics manual do you find this "rimming the infield" move? Sounds awfully softballish to me.
