Baseball Etiquette - Stealing with Big Leads

slacroix · 01-11-2013, 08:04 PM

I'm sure there are other examples that could be bundled with this but I would like to see an adjustment that if a team is up 8-10+ runs they are not going to be stealing bases or someone's going to get knockdown by a pitch! Thanks!

I hit a guy and started a brawl after a bogus steal. I hit the leadoff hitter the next game.

Wouldn't anything like this have to be optional? Not everybody cares about the unwritten rules. Plus, if one's added, wouldn't all the others have to be added?

There are no such things an unwritten rules, plus why should my ficitonal league have to play by these rules when i might want different ones.

This can't be done as not everyone is playing the same type of game so Baseball Etiquette means one thing in one league but doesn't mean the same in mine

Game strategy settings?

Why must the "unwritten rules" apply in a fictional world? Or why must they be forced to apply to a simulated world? If these were applied, they should be an option, so we can play without the "playing the game the right way" if we so choose.

Agree with those arguing for this being an option, if it must be in the game at all. I don't want any of these unwritten rules forced upon my leagues.
