I would work like hell to get the best look I could. It is my job to do that and I would never tell the coach that I couldn't. For plays at the plate, you have to adjust and adapt to the play as it unfolds. Start at the point of the plate and adjust, don't plant at 1bx or 3bx and get blocked out.

Do the best you can to move your feet to get the view you need. On high fly down the line I don't usually line up TBX for that, I move up the line to get better view.
