I also get a spot where I'm not in line between the ball and a base. If coming straight in from C, that outs you between 2nd and 3rd, so if the ball is at home, you should be out of the way. Also, I try to get between the bases wher the play might occur. E.g., if runner goes home from 3rd with no other runners on, the next play will be 1st or 2nd so I get in front of B position if I can before the throw comes back. Also, I shift one way or another from B or C, depending on the runner(s) positions and the number of outs.
