On the other side of the scale I gave up just 2 runs but they were both very frustrating runs to give up. One scored on a wild pitch that only got a few feet away from the catcher. I had plenty of time to run back towards the plate and tag the runner out before he scored but I was hitting the button to try to throw it to my pitcher who was nowhere near home. I have no idea why he didn't cover home but by the time I realized he wasn't covering home and that I was going to have to run and try to tag the runner out it was too late and he was safe.

The next run scored on a perfectly executed squeeze play. But it never would have happened had my pickoff throw earlier in the inning not sailed into the stands. The frustrating thing about that was that I wasn't even trying to pick off the guy. I was just trying to throw over so I could get a different pitch to throw because I hit the wrong button and selected the wrong pitch.

The other very frustrating thing that happened to me was after one of the 3 hits I got I wanted to attempt to steal 2nd and my baserunner took off for 2nd before the pitch was thrown and turned into a dead duck. I have no on early idea why that happened so I cannot prevent it from happenening again.

Just very frustrating, it's like I never played The Show before and I've been playing it since 2007.
You've played this since 2007? Because you're not acting like it. Why throw to first when you didn't like your pitch instead of just stepping off the mound? The baserunner is stealing because you're accidentally squeezing the trigger on the controller during the at-bat (and, yes, you are. this isn't a glitch. it's a well-known common mistake). I think you're a bit rusty. Also, maybe play a few more games.
