OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Have you ever seen a runner thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double?

This is how bad it appears to me from just observing over 100 games simmed in "one pitch" mode. The frequency of runners advancing to third from first on singles with two outs appears to be fairly similar to the frequency of runners scoring from 2nd base on singles with two outs. I constantly find myself questioning why a runner would go from first to third where the result ends up being a "close play" so often. When I watch MLB baseball, the frequency of close plays at third with two outs is rare. It usually takes you watching several games before you see such a play. In OOTP it seems to happen several times per game. But then when you expect runners to be attempting to score from first or second on doubles and singles, they are constantly being held.
