I personally have never seen a catcher throw to second base when a guy on third broke for the plate on a pitch. I've definitely seen the AI perform what I've asked first...if only the runner on 1st base breaks for the plate and the catcher has a gun, he better throw to second...unless Willie Mays Hayes is on 3rd base, but even then...we're talking about professional baseball players. We used to practice this scenario over and over in college. Defensively, there are quite a few different things you can try, but no way is an MLB team just going to give up 2nd base every time it's first and third.
BTW, I hope your error rate goes down and you win your division.   |
It was a double steal situation with both runners going so yeah why would he make that throw?
Well error rate is not going down..... in fact; last two games three errors, and 5 YES 5 passballs and/or wild pitches all of which lead directly to Astro runs. SMDH
