If throw is from LF, especially down the line, and you are on 1BLX, you are completely blocked from both a straight on tag AND the runner's first contact with the plate. If you're on 3BLXon this play, you better rotate around as the play comes in or you'll miss it. RF to 1BLX is a little better, as you can usually see the runner's foot - but you could be blocked by the catcher on some tags.
