Offensive options following foul ball

jim_arrows · 02-22-2005, 06:36 PM

I had runners on 1st & 2nd w/ 2 outs and had my batter swing away; he fouled off a 3-2 pitch which gave me the opportunity to re-assess the situation. I wanted to start the runners, but saw no way of doing so. It seemed that my only options were to continue swinging away or to have the batter bunt, no baserunning options were evident. Is this a bug or a newbie oversight?

Thanks,
Jim

Game has never offered these options, w/ 2 strikes in the given situation runner is always going.

Great, thanks Steve, I thought it was odd that it wasn't there but it makes sense that you've got them going automatically...
