Runner stopping at second on 2 out hit.

I had a guy only get to second base on a hit to the gap with 2 outs. I can see if that was the case with less than 2 outs but he should have been running all the way on contact. I dont know about any of you but I would have benched his ass for not scoring!

Sounds like an AI bug.

I'd bench his ass if he did go. Rarely will there be a situation where the runner will get home from third where he wouldn't from 2nd. Thus why waste a potential inning-ending out?

The Cardinal Rule of Baseball...

"Never, never, ever, make the first or third out at third base."
