I will say one thing that might help, MIGHT...still tough call from there. Again like others have said C2 or whatever you want to call it but on 3rd base side of short stop is book placement with a runner on 3rd in two person. When that play happens try to get a better angle on the play at 1st. You should be moving in on that play so instead of trying to run right at the play making F3 shield you, try to run more to a position to get an angle on the call, even if you are farther away. Again HTBT and won't always work cause you can't get in the way of a throw to home....BUT if possible running more toward home than toward first will give you an angle to see the runners feet a little better. Again I am not trying to say this is a savior and will "fix" the situation but might help.

My advice is very close to this one, but with a different angle attempted. If I was that BU, 1) I would have started off F6's right (third base side) shoulder, initially, but 2) would have worked parallel to the baseline towards 2nd on the play, for the sole purpose of NOT being straightlined on the play. I can't get any kind of angle heading in any other direction, and this direction puts me in the way of no possible throw or play.
