How do you get "backed up"? I move towards third on this play, opening up a better angle on the play at first. I see too many guys move towards second (straight-lining them) or trying to get to the infield grass (and then giving up because the fielder and/or runner is in the way).

Angles can be gotten. Sometimes putting yourself farther away gives you a better angle.
