An enigma wrapped in a puzzle and shrouded in mystery. I need a hint here, people…

Is it bigger than a breadbox? Or maybe it has something to do WITH a breadbox? Am I hot? Cold? :-)

Are you alluding to the fact that having men on base obscures things like the pitcher's hot/cold zones and the score of the game? I find this annoying and it could've been done a little better. If the score is covered up, I have to pause the game to check the number of outs or the count sometimes. Poorly designed.

Re: Man on 3rd base....

Wow, I'm shocked no one else has noticed what I have. In this game, men on 3rd base stand either on the line or inside the line. Anyone who has ever played baseball knows the cardinal rule of being a runner on 3rd base...you always stand in foul territory! Otherwise, if you're in fair territory and a ball is hit at you (as the runner) and it hits you you're out. If you're in foul territory the ball is not in play and dead.

It is a very small detail but it really annoys me that in this game they stand in fair territory.

Ha I've never noticed that, but then again, I stopped playing baseball about 8 years ago. Personally, I found the fact that the runner on third covers up the score and count more annoying (am I the only one?!?) but to each his own.
