I thought I noticed an uptick; but I attributed it to weaker fielding in the IF. It's another instance where the graphic does not correspond with the narrative - or you have the IF merely holding the ball while the batter runs to 1B. Dude, throw it!
Had to laugh though last night at the Phillies-Braves game, Didi Gregorius forgot how many were out (one; he thought two), and held the ball at 2B after a force on a sure DP ball. He looked exactly like the OOTP player in 3D who fails to complete the DP. Just. Standing. There. So maybe life imitates art, or whatever. Happy conclusion as the Phillies torched the Braves 14-4. And a first for me, after hundreds of games. I saw a position player pitch the ninth inning for Atlanta.
