Shooting with both eyes open is unnatural to me.  It feels awkward.
But I've done it to get the picture.

With a telephoto aimed at a baseball player up to bat, I don't know of
any other easy way to determine when to hit the shutter than to also
watch the pitcher and ball.  The eye looking through the telephoto
sees a magnified picture.  The two aren't joined together at all...but
it's still possible to make sense of what you're seeing.  It's just
mind numbing for a bit.  :)
