Sweed, re your "I don't think anyone here is being unfriendly ... and "Tone and inflection doesn't carry well in written responses on a message board." ...
I was not referring to those who responded to me as being unfriendly, I was referring to me, myself and I ... I warned you ahead of time that you may not like my response and wanted to stress "Look everyone, I am new and want to be friends and stay friends ... however, I am surprised at all your responses." I wanted all of you to know I am friendly and respect everyone.
So you are right about tone and reflection and message boards because you did not interpret (read into) what I said the right way. You thought one thing and I was acting out opposite to what you thought.
Also Sweed re "as far as I can tell, you are only posting about a one time thing" ...
The way the math works is such ... as a new player and seeing this behavior for just a few times, it was VERY clear that the great odds are what I am seeing is "the norm", "the average behavior for pressing 4". Now, those 7 throws could have been an outlier but the odds are what I saw reflected a bias toward a lot of throws to 1B. The math simply is that there are less odds you see an outlier in a one time new thing and greater odds you are seeing the norm or close to the norm ... none of which means a lot because a meaningful observation must include a large sample size to be meaningful but it is anecdotal info that leads to an assumption.
By the way, I got fed up with the 7th throw and just stopped attempting to steal and autoplayed the next pitch so who knows how any times that pitcher would have continued to throw to 1B.
Regardless, I will note the behavior after playing a larger sample size and come back to this thread and comment where I assume I will be giving some data about the number of throws and if it is excessive compared to real life.
