Voluntary Release Play...

At some point, umpires are going to get blocked out, so we need to move to get the best angle for the play that happens. Can't always do it.

This is the exact reason I am moving twards the top of the mound cutout on a ball hit in the infield. A couple of steps in , pivot and you have a great view. Staying in the "B", and depending how close you are to the infield grassline, will get you into this type of trouble. Go to the mound and adjust accordingly. This has worked for me. Not being locked into one spot.

The OP was a double-steal situation, not a hit in the infield.
