advancing baserunners (again)

akw4572 · 07-12-2006, 02:12 PM

Just had a situation where men were on 1st and 3rd, no out. Batter hits into a DP 5-6-3, and runner stayed on third.

I don't have an overwhelming problem with that... he probably should have scored, but with no out he's not running on contact and a ball hit hard enough to the 3B for a DP he could easily get you at home if you just started running, so he would have had to hesitate... and if he's slow he end up getting a triple play out of it.

I'd be more concerned about a 5-6-3 DP... does the game simulate those drastic shift where the SS is playing on the right side of 2B? Otherwise there's no way the SS is gonna be in the middle of that play. Playing normally, he should be on the move to back up the 3B...

Both would be a concern.

oops, I meant 5-4-3 DP. As soon as they guy sees the throw go to 2nd, he's gone from 3rd.

Probably so... I wouldn't have a problem with it though, unless the runner on third was a fast runner. There's a few things I could come up with that might end up with him left on third... but you're probably right, most of the time he'd go home.
If it was a 6-4-3, or 4-6-3 I'd say he should score every time though.

Folks, I just don't have enough evidence of this to log a bug. Is this a really prevalent problem, in your opinion? Because I haven't seen it so far...

At this point, I'm tempted to close this issue out. Let me know what you think...

Thanks,

Steve

I've definitely noticed this problem in all areas of baserunning. Balls hit to the wall in right center and a guy doesn't advance from third. A runner on third with less than 2 outs not scoring on plays where the second baseman has to race behind the 2B bag. Runners not scoring from third in other situations.

I'm running the current version of the patch.

Thanks.

bg,

Can you please let me know how things look with the latest patch?

Thanks,

We have a rule that states that Tech Support threads wherein we have not received a response within 7 days will be closed.

This one meets this criteria, so I'm closing this.

If you want to discuss it again, just PM me with the thread link, and I'll re-open. (Don't just say "Hey, reopen my thread." I need to know the URL, thanks!)
