1st game of the season.
Pagnozzi is behind the plate 1e0 :!:
catcherX in the 5th and 7th inning both go for singles :cry:

I did not think it possible.

please explain.

he gave up both hits to pitchers as well.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've never known a 1 rating to mean that no hits occur, ever. They are the best fielders but there's usually at least one hit result. I can't say I'm real familiar with the Advanced/Super Advanced charts, however.

On a catcher with a range rating of 1, a d20 roll of 1 results in a "squib single" in front of the plate (if the bases are empty, as was the case both times in your game).

Here's the charts - a roll of 1 on any catcher range results in a "W/S"...

... which is a wild pitch if there are runners on, and a single if the bases are empty (see "NO" under "W/S"):

Thanks for the explanation Bernie.

I am obviously still learning.

(and Pags is not enjoying that 1 in 400 chance this combo of rolls would come up)

Better slip Pagnozzi some 5 hour energy before the next game so he can be alert and pounce on those little squibbers. :lol:

Great team name Those Little Squibbers
