M.Kirkland is out at home with a great tag on a throw from B.Collins.

Anyone notice this happens a little too much?  One average, seems like it happens once every other game? My baserunning agressiveness is set to 3, for what it's worth.  Would like to see this curbed some.

Set your agressiveness to 2.  Or get better baserunners.  Or play teams with worse defensive players.

Also, I'd be willing to guess that if you are being "victimized" by this too frequently (in your opinion) on offense, you're probably also benefitting from it too frequently on defense.  In the end, it all washes out.

It does.  Earlier this year the player above who was thrown out at home threw out 3 guys at home in one game.  Was just wondering if this was something other people had found was happening too often.  If it's just me, maybe it's my players.

I think players hit into 5-2-3 or 3-2-3 double plays way too often, but I have no proof of that.

Someone can verify but I want to say the most ever in real life (mets a few years back I think) --thrown out at home is maybe 12-15 times.  Happens much more than that on AVERAGE. in HBD

I'm assuming that the folks who say "It happens too much in HBD" know how often it happens in a season as opposed to thinking back to the last 5 games.
