I have Ozzie Smith he gets a walk steals 2nd, 3rd and then trys to steal home with no outs, and of course gets out.

Ozzie hits 8th with pitcher at the plate.

I have baserunning agressiveness at 3.

This is a no no in baseball, why would he send him?

Any thoughts?

After you've gotten to 2nd and 3rd base, its hard to stop yourself from going all the way.

failed suicide squeeze? is your pitcher sacrifice setting at 5? tough to take your pitcher out for a pinch hitter at that point. Might be worth sending in a ticket

sac setting is at 5.

It doesn't say pitcher tried to sacrifice, maybe it won't say that.

6th inning today tied 1-1, 1 out 1st hitter up Ozzie steals 2nd, 3rd and home to go up 2-1.

I guess take the bad with the good.

Doesn't matter,considering the score and inning, stealing home with a runner on 3rd w/no outs is idiotic, period....

I was on the opposite end of a similar situation. Man on 3rd, 2 outs, 3rd inning and Addie Joss threw one away trying to pick Hughie Jennings off. Score was 0-0 at the time. I lost 3-1 so it's not like it cost me the game but the logic still baffles me.

I'm pretty sure if a bunt is missed, it'll be noted in the play description. I'd send a ticket to the jackboots in support and see what they say.

Sometimes, just like in real-life, even smart players do stupid things.

Maybe it should have added "...and the third base coach is instantly fired." into the play by play after that decision.
