Theory behind B and C positions

[johnnyg08]

Personally, if you're playing percentages with R1...your odds of play at 2B versus a pickoff at 1B are far greater. I love working C with R1 because I feel it gives me a significantly better angle to make a call on a SB attempt at 2B. HOWEVER...I'm very hesitant to sit in C...sometimes if I see that F1 doesn't have a good move to 1B...I will go to C because if somebody's going to be picked at 1B, the 90 yr old grandma in the stands will be able to see that he's out.

Get in the best angle to see the percentage play..esp w/ 2-man...where you already give up lots of angles.

Dude you cant make up your own mechanics.... you in "B" with R1... HOW IN THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA SEE A CLOSE PICKOFF @ 1st?.... you aint doing that crap in College.

In college ball, U1 is in A with R1. He has a great view.

They use two-man for a lot of college ball out here.

As stated before. Follow CCA and feel comfortable about it. Those guys did an awful lot of study before writing that manual. The fact that they do yearly updates makes me believe that Hiler, Poronto, Yeast, et al... know what they are doing. R3 regardless of outs, BU in "C".

Yes in 3 man, not in 2 man...you might want to look at the CCA again.

I don't need to look at the CCA manual again, thank you, though, for your suggestion.

I replied to a post the intimated college level. My college games are three man. I haven't looked at CCA for two man since, well, since ever. None of my two man games are college level and all are worked with pro mechanics.\

If you are working college games, above JUCO, in two man, you have my sympathy.

Yeah, around here we work 2 man until you get to D1 schools.
