BZ 3150: Players attempting bunts on pitchouts?

Ruthian23 · 06-04-2009, 06:55 PM

I just saw this happen two straight times, so it could have been a very rare fluke, but I think that it is probably a bug or flaw in the code, which is why I'm posting it here. I just pitched out twice with a fast runner on first. The runner at the plate was trying to bunt him over and both pitchouts turned into strikes because the guy tried to bunt at them. Unless the runner is running and it's a hit and run and the batter is trying to protect the runner you very rarely see a guy swing (much less bunt) at a pitchout, and while I might have been okay with it twice the fact that it happened twice in a row indicates to me that there might be a problem there.

I really must say that the game seems incredibly stable for an initial release though. Well done by all involved.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be posting in this forum once it's logged but the post about how to log an issue says to keep you up to date either way. I just wanted to say that I saw this again (with the player bunting at 2 out of 3 pitchouts) in a similar situation, so it evidently wasn't just a fluky one time thing.
