Totally inexplicable play-by-play w/

[TomSiebert]

Check this ous: First three "rolls" are all 6-5. First and third rolls are singles to CF. Middle roll, from Lowe, the hitting pitcher, is a pop out to the catcher, for a DOUBLE PLAY, no less. Worst of all, vs. Ayala, a 6-5 on the pitcher's card is a HR. We didn't even get a single out of it -- in fact, we didn't even manage to get a single OUT from it. This is one of those horrific HAL "normalization" things, isn't it?

*** TOP OF INNING 7 ***
SUBSTITUTE P - Luis Ayala
0 O.Vizquel 6-5 Single (CF) b-1
0 1 D.Lowe 6-5 Pop Out (C) Double Play 1-o b-0
2 R.Willits 6-5 Single (RF) b-1
2 1 J.Vidro 1-3 Single (RF) 1-2 b-1 bpSI 1-7
SUBSTITUTE P - Scott Downs
2 12 A.Rowand Wild Pitch 2-3 1-2
2 23 A.Rowand 5-8 Single (2B) 3-H 2-3 b-1 gb(2B)x
2 1 3 B.Hawpe 5-10 Ground Out (3B) b-0 gb(3B)x

We won the game big, 12-2, so I won't fume much at all. But this is an interesting and overt display of game weirdness.

The singles are the result of having, W hitters, The Lowwe result is becuase he tried to sacrifice Bunt the runner, but it's still not completely correct, as a 6 should indicate a play by the 3b according to the Super Advanced Sac Bunt Chart.
When sac bunting, the indicator die is used to indicate which fielder makes the play, 1or 2= pitcher,3=catcher,4or5=1b and 6=3b.
Also, a 5 result with any type bunter A-E results in a SAC( or speed in the case of an A), in order to get a double play pop up a 12 would have to have been rolled.
So it's still not correct, but my guess is that Lowe tried to bunt, hence no HR or single result. I'd still sned it in though and see what happened.

I get the W-power guys getting singles. I still don't get the pop out double play. And what are the odds of rolling three straight 6-5 rolls?

I appreciate the perspective , though, 9ersfan. What do you mean by "send it through" ? At this point, it's really just a matter of curiosity more than anything else, but I do wonder what's what.

My guess is that Lowe didn't really roll a 6-5. It might just be a display bug. He was trying to bunt and it simply showed the last roll even though he rolled whatever it is that gives you a double play when you bunt.

Just a guess.
