True, a slow runner can score from second on a base hit to left *if* the outfielder juggles it, it hits a sprinkler, or a seagull or something. But not EVERY RUNNER ALL THE TIME! SERIOUSLY?!

I've done said informal study. Base running in OOTP is far from accurate.

C'mon! I'm glad Markus is aware of it.

Look, there are a zillion ways you can get a base hit to left. But the ones where you can score from 2nd base are FAR less common than the ones you can't. In OOTP, I find it happens a lot more than it should, that's all.

Do I have some analysis that proves my point? Um... not really. That's because I leave my house and go to work for a living.

I'd love to have a some intricate spread sheet for you proving my point, but ya know, I have a life and stuff. Occasionally I get to squeeze in a game of OOTP where all the base runners on 2nd score on a hit to left.

Nothing like a post that is only slightly critical of OOTP to draw all the crying whiners out.
So, according to you, the issue is documented? Yet you don't seem to have any data (despite your own informal study) nor do you have the time to track the data (but wait you did an informal study) to prove your already "documented" issue. Why not just post the data that you claim already documents the issue?

But then I guess it is easier to simply call people names when you don't have the facts on your side. Nice.
