Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Well burning up on this one. Top of the 10th bases loaded no outs. Ben Taylor who is a D and also designated NO STEAl by me decides its his time to be famous and steal home. Well guess what? He is out. Bases loaded... NO OUTS! Then a flyout with a guy being thrown out at home... double play. I lose on a Homer in the 11rh.

I remember when I was a kid you could get a baseball game on the back of a cereal box. You cut out a spinner for hits... yea know you would flick it with your finger. At least it was consistent. At least you could figure out what was happening.

WTF is this? Either you steal or you don't. The settings are the settings. How does something like that get programed into the game?

Yeah - that's wild.

Wondering though - what is Jose Oquendo set up as - as far as his hit-and-run and sacrifice settings.
Maybe it was a muffed suicide squeeze or hit and run??

It had to be a busted squeeze play.

Yup--either a busted bunt or a busted HnR. Either one can force the lead runner into a situation that is essentially a steal and not a well-framed one.

Being a smallball aficionado, I almost never put a HnR or bunt type behind a guy who can't steal and run reasonably well. It raises risk of putting that runner into a bad situation, just as it would in real life.

Damn. Now I don't have to be mad and blame Hal. You guys have it. It must of been a blown Squeeze play. Oquendo is an A bunter. Chit. But I still hate this game! Now I have to call the Psych Center and cancel my bed.
