Things that don't ring true

I love this game, except for the play by play. I know that the text doesn't affect the game results, but it doesn't do much for the experience. Some examples: With a runner on first, on a single to right field, the batter goes for third and the pbp will indicate that there's a relay throw to attempt to get the runner at third, yet on a triple to right field the right fielder throws the ball to third base without a relay, and the play is ALWAYS close. And is it me or does every ball hit in the gap, off the wall, over the fielder's head, into the corner etc. result in the fielder "strong arming" the throw to second base to try to get the runner going for the double --while outfilelders won't throw home to try to cut off even the go ahead run in the late innings. Of course the fileders might be tired by then since they;ve spent the day "charging" bals hit over their head
