Even though it is the BU's call, the plate does have the better angle (IMO). However, I try to treat it the same way I do as a batted ball and throw to first. As soon as I see the catcher start to throw the ball, I'm going to bust inside the diamond and get as close to the play as I can, stop, make the call and then look to see where the next play will take place. More than likely, the R1 on 3B should be on her way home and the throw will go home giving you time to get to the next calling position. If the throw goes from F3 to F5, then I get the best angle I can to make the call at 3B.
