You can see this bug in action by playing RTTS (or player lock), setting baserunning to Action Pitches, and getting on base.

First, note the number of pitches just before your hit or walk. Let's say it's 56, before pitch 57 gets you on base.

You're on first, and the next thing you see is the batter with a 2-1 count...but the displayed counter still says 57 pitches have been thrown.

Baserunning: Action Pitches (and Lead Runner: Half) is basically Quick Counts for CPU hitters when baserunning in RTTS.

So I totally understand why they just decided to hide it, at least until they figure out a plausible way to get it to display accurately, accounting for fouled-off pitches and all that. Speaking as a guy that actually has OCD, that bothers me too.

I don’t know if this one is a bug or not. I’ve seen it numerous times too, although I don’t remember for counts other than 1-1. I’ve always believed this was done on purpose to make up for the the fact that all ABs start with at least a 2-pitch count. Maybe it was done to balance things out for those where you could in theory hit the first pitch. But I would prefer to see the AB start with a 0-0 count then.

That is not a bug, they've said every year they tweak pitch totals with QC to allow for realistic totals, since there are no 1 or 2 pitch ABs with this setting since there are no 0-0 counts.

THIS exact confusion calling this design a bug is why they removed it from the scorebug. I wish they would add it back and just ignore these posts.

Happens every single time you reach base in RTTS.... in any count. If your teammate reaches base.... does the same thing with next batter's count. The current count is never added to the # of pitches it leaves off with in the batter before.
