Maybe you have issues with umpires who are too lazy to watch the ball, but I am not aware of any situation where 3U would have to look over their shoulder to find the ball, outside or inside. So, you keep talking about something that should never happen with an umpire utilizing the proper mechanics.

As I specifically wrote, this is if there is no play on the BR @ 2nd base. You have changed the facts to argue a point.

As the umpire, you do not know that there will never be a play at 2B. As I noted, I'd rather be prepared for all possible plays, not just those that should occur in a perfect world.

Sticking with my play (because that's the one written in the manual and the one we are discussing), can you say why it is better to go inside with NO play at 2nd base?

IF there is no play at 2nd, it isn't any better. Otherwise, see above.
