Why did Eddie Yost Get Caught Stealing?

Bottom of the 4th inning. Yost walks with the bases empty and then gets caught stealing.

Here's why I'm confused: The team is set to EXTRA CONSERVATIVE & Yost is set to DON'T STEAL.

Can someone explain what happened?

My guess would be a missed bunt attempt.

I guess anything is possible.

But, Team bunting is also set to EXTRA CONSERVATIVE & Pesky is to to DON'T BUNT.

Missed hit and run play?

Hit & Run is set to EXTRA CONSERATIVE, Pesky's Invididual setting is unchecked.

So I guess that would be more likely than the failed bunt attempt.

(Lost the game by a run or two, so it may have possibly cost me the game.)

Non DH League and all my every day players are low injury guys so I made my backup catchers also be my designated pinch hitters.

The third base coach sneezed and Yost thought he was getting the steal sign.

That makes about as much sense as any other explanation.
