What's the "mindest", the thought process, for the possible play at 1B, distance or angle?

Obviously you won't be able to improve your distance much. You will lose some angle for the play at 1st moving towards 2nd to improve both on a play there in situations 1 & 2. In 3, if R2 runs on the throw to 1st, he/she is no longer my responsibility. If there is no throw to 1st, I will stay with R2 to 3rd.
The mindset should always be both, but you take what the play gives you.
