too many players being picked off on base

i have noticed alot of my guys are getting picked off on base when im not even trying to steal...in 60 games...i have been picked off about 20 times...i think this is unrealistic. You dont see to many people being picked of in the majors. you might want to look into it

Is this something that you have actually kept track of game by game or you are just guessing? The reason I ask is that at times it can appear the numbers are off only because we "remember" that particular item we are focusing on so it seems like more often than it is in reality. But if you have been keeping actual totals that is another story.

I play out most of my games and can say that in the last week I've played out about 10-15 games and I had one runner picked off. I'm not saying that this is not an issue but I will track my next few games and see. Also, runners are more likely to be picked off when they have great speed, even if they aren't running-the game is just built that way.

im keeping track....i have played almost 80 games now and i would say every few game i get someone picked off...some games 2 or 3 people a game get picked off from my team. its not my fast runners getting picked off. Its my player who have like 5 speed that i wouldnt even try to steal with.
