Being one to go with what I was taught, I never caught on well with some of the new-fangled mechanics over the years.

When I was taught, the only time we used B was when there was R1 only.

Any other runner situation, we were in C.

Somewhere along the way, they came up with B for R1-R3, and for bases loaded. I tried it a couple of times, but we were given the option, so I stayed with C, and just felt more comfortable. I can get a better angle for third, plus it opens a natural angle for throws behind R3 from F2.

You have to hustle more from C to get in position for plays at first, but if you move around properly, it's no problem at all.
