So I'm watching the Cardinals trounce the San Juan Expos in the cozy Montreal Mausoleum (population 6,000), when a strange event occurred that made my sports sim brain kick into gear.
Speedy Bo Hart was on second, and JD Drew bangs a long, high fly ball off the center field wall. He saunters into second base with an easy double and obvious RBI...but wait! Bo knows tagging up, and apparently thinking the ball would be caught, tags up and only makes it to third base before the relay throw comes in. No RBI.
Now how many times have you seen a situation with a runner on second, a double, and then runners on second and third? I know it does occasionally happen, but it's the type of thing that we'd all probably freak out on if we saw it in OOTP or some other baseball sim. Kind of amusing...
