As of yesterday, this happened twice so far this year. Some nut in the stands was yelling that a runner was leaving 1st too early, which you can't really see; so I just stared at he runner and 1st base coach to make them think I was watching.
The toughest things for me are getting an angle for the tag at 2nd when the SS is on the infield side of the base, watching the BR going to 1st when there are other runners and it looked like the play would be elsewhere, and staying out of the way of a throw to home. Mainly, I concentrate more on where the runers are and where play will go from unexpected fielders.
