So, I defer my answers for this guy to you guys  Why are we in the positions mandated by our mechanics books? |
Sometimes we have to do what the books request, but most of the time, our groups go with whatever we prefer. I like to stay in B most all of the time.
Some prefer C, but like you stated, I like to be close to the play.
But, I've worked with other groups who mandate move to C.
Playing percentages, what is it, less than 5% of plays at 3rd, so why do we spend so much time worrying about 3rd??
Thanks
