      Pretty sure that this build is perposley missing things and that the team just wanted them to be able to see a couple of things. There is no way that that is what we will be getting in the final version.

        doesn't look like it based on that clip
        There were two cutoff men on that throw from RF. That didn't happen in 2007.

        On the play with the thirdbaseman throwing to first, the outfielders charge in to cover third. Just look at the LF and what he does for the entire play.

        The fact that the pitcher caught the return throw is perfect strategy as the pitcher went to third to cover in case the runner on 2nd jumped.

        Yes, I'd like to see the thirdbaseman there too but it's possible that the thirdbaseman was out of the return play after he made the throw.

        That play was done right, though i will agree that the thirdbaseman should have been moving toward 3B to cover it.

          No actually it's the SS's responsibility to cover third in that situation. Pitcher will be there to back up and rotate when there is a rundown between 3rd and 2nd or 3rd and home.

            You are right and I think the shortstop is actually covering 3B. There is another play in the foul area covering the base.

            I'm going off memory so I may be wrong. Correct me if I am.

              Just checked and yes the shortstop does run to cover thirdbase but the pitcher gets there first and fields the throw.

                Not sure which video you mean. The one I saw had the pitcher covering third when the first baseman threw it there trying to get out the guy running from 2B. After the 5-3 out, the thirdbaseman stood there and didnt go back to the bag to cover when the guy from 2B took off. So instead the pitcher ran over and covered. Normally the SS would be there if the third baseman couldnt cover. Rotation is counterclockwise when covering and backing up bases.

                  The pitcher was already moving to 3B once the thirdbaseman fielded the ball. The SS also ran to cover 3B.

                  The pitcher just happens to get there first and that's why he fields the throw from 1B.

                    Yep! The pitcher covered because the 3B and SS were sleeping on the play. Nice heads up play

There has definitely gotta be a finish copy sitting in the office with everything fixed cutscenes and presentation of homer celebration bug fixes etc. It wouldn't make sense otherwise.
                      And you can tell from this pathetic footage that there are tons of bugs & nothing you wanted?? This is likely from a fairly recent build, but they're not showing us a whole lot yet.
                      So instead of trying to justify some logical explanation to keep your hopes alive.... just wait & see the next set of videos. Now that these first movies hit, there should be lots more coming next week. But if you continue to be disappointed by what you see, then just get "The Show".

                        i don't (and don't pretend) to know the game that well

                            Give the SS credit. He backs up 3rd base on the play. The 3B just stood there after he threw it.

                              The double cut is common baseball strategy
