I know you'll ignore my advice but that is what both Garth and yrs trly are trying to tell you.
Starting in "C" does not mean ending in "C" . . .
If you get straight lined (sunny, cloudy or even during a night game) it is your fault as an umpire. You can adjust and get your own calls. That is all this is meant to mean.
I'm gonna go eat a Stegesourous now . . .
One thing PWL, you are really funny.

I understand exactly what you are saying. However, when you are in C position, the throw is not always going to go to first. You can't just start setting up in position for that throw. If you do you might be out of position for a play at another base. Sometimes you have to move to get out of the way of a hard hit ball. It's just impossible to get the best angle all the times. When the ball is thrown, I like to be set without my head moving if I think I have a close call. One hit back to pitcher, I might be jogging over. You know as well as I do the only there are times the only thing you can do is react and go where the ball takes you.
IT'S HARD TO BE HUMBLE WHEN YOUR PERFECT IN EVERYWAY!!!!
XXXOOO ARE YOU PLAYING TIC TAC TOE WITHOUT THE LINES?

PWL,
You talking the exception. On almost every play in the infield you should be able to react to the mound, be eqidistant from all bases, read and react. If your setting up in the B or C and staying there well, your going to miss a lot.
Those are only starting positions. Thats exacty what were saying here.
