Re: stealing bases
I'm 4-4 with Soriano.
take the biggest lead...press up BEFORE the pitch (ofcourse, make sure you know the guy won't throw over to pick you off)...and slide head first into second.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: stealing bases
Yeah. I'm 5-6 with Rollins. Like Yankees said, you gotta take the biggest lead, and try to run on a pitch after a fastball, cuz the computer isn't very likely to pitch 2 fastballs in a row... Just don't run on Ivan Rodriguez...that's why I am 5-6.
