I didn't want to get into this, but I have personally looked a runner back at third and still started a DP. It can be done. You're playing in at 2nd, the batter hits a hot grounder right to you, you pivot slightly to the right to freeze the runner at third (baserunners have it drilled into them to never be the first or third out at third), he heads back to the bag, you quick flip it to the SS at second and he turns two with it. If the runner at third doesn't freeze and go back then he's dead meat, and runners at 1st and 2nd with one out is better than runners at first and third with no outs.

It happens in real life. There's time. And if the runner at third tries to run on the SS or 1B then they gun him down. I've seen it.

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
