Ah, yes. Now I get it. Yeah, I don't think I've seen that either.

It kind of bugs me that base-running isn't really flushed out in the game much. If you're into base to base play with a homer here and there then I guess it isn't much of an issue, but if you're like me and like to force the issue with aggressive base-running then you're shooting yourself in the foot a lot. I understand a lot of the saber people aren't too high on this style of play, but I think the game is even harder on it than real life.

For example, not being able to tell your player to steal 2nd a lot, but very rarely steal 3rd. My guys get killed on stealing 3rd yet there's not much I can do about it in an online league. You either set them to steal a lot or not. If you tell them not to steal as much, they won't steal 2nd as much either which makes their stealing ability less worthwhile.

Same thing with the base-running ability. If the game doesn't have the plays in it then a player with good base-running ability isn't as good as he should be.
