Here's what I can find on the wiki rules site (esp. "More_baserunning_decisions"):
http://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Maximum_Ruleshttp://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Maximum ... _decisionshttp://somonline.wikia.com/wiki/Strat-O ... Game_Rules (especially sections 13.1 through 13.63).
Unfortunately, the "More_baserunning_decisions" describes the rule, without describing any mathematical adjustments that might be made.
I would suggest that all of the super-advanced base running rules would be used (see 13.1 through 13.63 in the strat wiki rules, link or URL is quoted above). The only adjustment that would
not be made (I am stating this as a logical theory) would be the runners held or not held adjustment.
The rest of my comments are completely conjectural, and I have no support for them:
I would suggest that there should be an overall -1 adjustment, to reflect the fact that the runner has already expended some sprinting energy, especially when the basic card reading is a triple. In the case of stretching a single into a double, I would suggest that the -1 adjustment would reflect the relative proximity of 2b for the throw from the outfielder. (As another aside, it would be interesting to have some potential ballpark adjustments for outfielders throws - for example, a favorable adjustment for the runner on a throw from RF in Fenway Park).
As usual, outfielders arms would be applicable, as would the favorable RF adjustment for a throw to 3b when stretching a double into a triple (as well as the unfavorable adjustment for a throw from LF to 3B).
As set out in the super-advanced base running rule 13.63, there could be a catcher's defense adjustment on throws to home plate. (I wonder if this rule would be affected by the new real life baseball rules for blocking the plate?!).
I hope this helps.
I definitely find the "taking an extra base rule" to be interesting, even if it is sometimes frustrating when it turns out badly. Some managerial controls on this would be fun and interesting. I had the pleasure of seeing the Twins play the Indians on Tuesday evening, at Target Field. In that game, Kendrys Morales hit a "single" deep down the left field line, and attempted to take an extra base - but he was thrown out on second! If I was the Twins manager, I'd be just a little angry - I didn't notice whether he ran through the sign or not. The Twins were down a couple of runs late in the game, and I thought to myself (hindsight is 20/20) that I would have preferred to have him hold at first, and get a big inning going!!!!

PS, in one of the earlier card sets - can't remember which one - I had Juan Pierre stretch a triple into an inside the park home run!!
