or,

R1 & R3, less than 2 outs; BU sets up in B not C to be in a better position to call a double play attempt AND because most high school and below ball has 1st/3rd gimmick plays with the SS taking a short throw from the catcher where BU's C position is. Again, most mechanics diagrams put BU in C in this sitch.

What do you normally do and why?
I've seen this a lot also, but I stay in B most all of the time anyway with 2-man.

Second situation, I'm with Bob. If there is a DP chance, I'm staying in B.

Reason - I've tried other ways, and this is what I've found works very well for me.

Thanks
