So 3BLX for a throw from RF, 1BLX for a throw from LF.

Sadly, in the excitement of a plate play I dont always remember that
It's easier to remember (imho) if you think, "If F2 misses this throw, I don't want to get hit." Self preservation has a way of getting you to the "right" spot. (And, of course, the play can break down so the the "right spot" becomes the "wrong spot")
