So much for realism. Thought this was supposed to be one of OOTP's strong points.
I just thought logically poor things like this should be pointed out when discovered. so they can be corrected.

Logic isn't the problem here. You believe that a runner on 3rd will be to get home before the ball can be thrown from 2nd to 1st and then home to tag him out. Some runners might be able to do that (assuming they have excellent reflexes to get a jump when the SS throws to 1st). Some will regret trying. Most will be tackled by the 3rd base coach if they even flinch in that direction.
The only way to prove your point is not by an appeal to logic but by examining a bunch of game logs from RL games, to see how often the guy on 3rd advances on a GB hit to the P in a non-force situation or on the second throw in a DP attempt. If you see a lot of it, then you could present that evidence to Markus. I know it is rare on GBs hit to INF IRL (from collecting stats in the manner described), but not as rare as in OOTP, so I'd like to see that changed. GBs hit to the P are another matter.
