1915 Cobb card flawed

There is just NO WAY this is programmed as a *3-7/- (20-16).
60 SB's through 99 games, with stealing at aggressive and Cobb set at steal more. Should have 100 by now

Regardless of the ability of the catchers and pitchers? Cobb's 1915 stolen base count was 96, so, sounds like he's right on track.

Well, the other Cobb with the 20-16 stole 137 for me, and doesn't get on base near as much

No, I truly believe the steal rating is not programmed correctly

you even expect better results regardless of Hold and Catcher Hold ratings? what do consider an acceptable steal success %?

Normally I like 75%. But in this case my main goal was to have Cobb set my personal SB record. Seemed like a slam dunk to beat the 1909 card for that record

what is that record number? the Milan card always seems to steal like crazy albeit he doesn't have near the OBP as Cobb's cards.curious how you end up. by the way what is Cobbs OBP at this point and what park?

how do you judge the stealing ability on Cobb's 1911 card?

Fair to poor. *17 is only good against fair to bad hold combos.
The *20 is AT WORST a 1-13 with a good lead, and with a bad lead of 1-16 can even steal quite a bit on second number , including steals of 3B
