what is the best way to play your D when your opponent has a guy on 1st?

normal, corners in, infield in?

I know this is for twin killings. but remember if you are tied or the game is close, playing INF guarding the lines will help to keep that line hugging double from scoring the guy on first.

Might be a better option with two outs . . .but I use it quite a bit - early or late.

It seems like I get more DPs when I hold the runner at first.
