Which brings us back to what is more important, and throwback to 1B or a play at the plate which may or may not score a run.

; the better place for the BU taking the 2nd/3rd tagups is outside near the 3BL, IOW C3. That allows a good angle and a clear path to 2nd for any play there.

I agree with the 1st part, but there is no clear path to a good position for a call at 2B. If you try to call if from the outside, you may be at a 180 to the play. The best place would be inside (IMO), but to get there, you have to deal with either R1 or R2.
And in either case, that is a good distance to close and still get a good position from outside the 3BL
