Bunt and Run?

Leatherfut · 08-03-2023, 06:02 PM

Hi All,
While playing out games in 24 I've noticed that the opposing team will often send the runner during a bunt. I don't think I've ever seen this before and I've always wanted the option. But I can't figure out how to do it. Has anyone figured this out?

happy gaming,
Frank

I believe that is a visual effect since I've never seen a baserunner steal a base or be thrown out stealing on a bunt except on a suicide squeeze bunt attempt.
(cough cough, guilty - more than once).

I believe Will is right.

Like has been said, don't always trust the visuals of the game. I know what you're referring to, because I've seen it too. But to my knowledge that is just a typical sac-bunt with a little visual glitch. The fact that the runner starts running on delivery of the pitch pretty much means the hitter is going to get the bunt down (again, a visual glitch). When you see that visual, I don't believe the hitter ever misses the bunt and the catcher throws through.

Same thing on long flys. You can typically tell if its an out or a homer since runners don't advance at all on fly-outs (unless they tag after the catch of course) and run full speed on homers.

Yeah, there's definitely a handful of them. The infielders with that dive that they do when there is an error about to be made would be another. If you play out every game and have been doing so for a while, you can pretty much identify certain outcomes based on little giveaways in the visuals.

Fielder at a corner OF position runs for a foul ball while his teammates stand still?

He's gonna drop it.
