Your only responsibility for R3 is a pickoff/back pick which you can see just as well from B as you can from C

On an extra base hit you are only responsible for R1's touch of 2nd since it's a rotation situation.

You are responsible for both ends of a double play, pickoff at 1st and steal at 2nd. These 3 (or 4 if you include a play at 1st) situations are why you need to be in B.

At the risk of stating the obvious, I will add to what @MidAmUmp said by saying that, once the ball is batted into play, you have no responsibilities for R3, unless he somehow gets hung up between third and home. Logic dictates that you would want to be closest to your responsibilities, which will be R1 and B1.
