Along with the reluctance of players with high steal ratings to swipe bases, i.e., they just trot back to the bag when asked, when the opposition is making the game look like a track meet.

Speed never takes a day off. That's why I try my best to procure speed merchants who are great base runners and stealers. Of course the lineup needs a couple of power guys, too but where we are at in HRs hasn't been that important. My first season I had a manager who played it safe on the bases and the team suffered. I canned him and hired a guy who gave green lights to steal and take extra bases at every opportunity. We have led the league in stolen bases, base running, and over all offense the past several seasons and won a WS title in my past simmed season.
If you have the wrong manager or coaches for your roster, results
will suffer.
