From the C position, with a passed ball, I am moving straight in. With R2 present, I am going to go 1 stride beyond the base path (that would give me a 90-degree angle on a tag play coming back to 3B). From there, I may make up to 2 strides toward the 3B line so that I am 6-8 feet away from a tag play with as close to a 90-degree angle as I can get. When that play is done, I am not in a position where R2 should need to go around me - but I am in position to locate R2 and make sure R2 is on a base before I go back to my starting position.
With the runner running into BU, be prepared to take some grief - accept it, BU earned it. But at the end, R2 is still out, the grief-giving is done because we don't talk about history during the rest of the game, and it's time to play ball.
