I can handle getting three hit and lose, but to lose 1-0 on a sac fly ... scoring a runner [b:6a02dcd1d7]from second base?[/b:6a02dcd1d7]

Is it a glitch or is Randy Winn just that fast?

Now thats what I can a Pete Rose hustle play. Can't see that I have seen that before in Strato but there has to be a reason it happended. Just glad it did not happen to me!!!!! :shock:

I could see it if somehow the cut off rule was involved or something, but the only thing I can think of is to check the "rare play" section of the outfielders' fielding chart.

My guess...

Batter gets a hit and gets caught up trying to stretch to a double. Batter is out (loses the hit) and SOM records it as a SAC because the runner on second was coming home anyways on the single.

I've seen the super advanced chart which has a situation where the runner goes past first base and the throw comes in behind him with the batter getting tagged out. All runners advance 2 bases.

I had this happen against me in a netplay series not too long ago. Taveras made the grab but ran into the wall and knocked himself out. The runner scored from second. Apparently my other two outfielders just watched. The super advanced rules allow for rare play events such as this.

Cordero plunked Winn in the next game and took him out of the lineup for a couple games. No news from the commish about fines. :o
