New First for me

Man on second one out. Runner is a base stealing threat. Batter is a left handed pull hitter. Defense plays HARD shift right, leaving third base unoccupied. Pitcher has a good hold rating. Decide to steal third...

1st Pitch:Ball one, doesn't steal
2nd Pitch:Ball two, doesn't steal
3rd Pitch:Ball three, doesn't steal(getting annoyed at my runner now)
4th Pitch:Strike one, doesn't steal(REALLY annoyed now)
5th Pitch:Ball four, Runner attempts to steal third(finally), catcher jumps up to throw to third as third baseman runs to cover.....THROWN AWAY in to the outfield, runner scores.

That kind of thing happens A LOT if you play during the dead ball era.

This ALWAYS gets me but with second. Having Hamilton or Jose Peraza in back-to-back and knowing one is 80/80 and the other is 70/70, I get this a LOT. I managed 150 of 162 games in the 2018 season but Billy Hamilton only had 58 SB. Why? Because he wouldn't run on pitch one, two, or three sometimes
