Caught Stealing?

PostTue Apr 29, 2014 2:55 pm

In a recent game, Bobby Murcer is on 3rd, Jody Davis is on 2nd and there are no outs. My team is set to normal basestealing but both of these guys are listed as "Don't Steal." In fact, all but 3 players on my team are listed Don't Steal.

Shockingly and against all logic, Murcer gets thrown out attempting to steal home and Davis steals 3rd. What the heck? How does that happen based on my settings of Don't Steal?

Ignore this post. I just figured out the pitcher tried a suicide squeeze. Appropriately named in this situation!

The reverse can happen too. I have a "don't steal" player with two stolen bases in his current season. He was twice on the back end of a double steal.
