there are very few things worse than when the computer chooses the wrong player to field a grounder. a friend of mine claims that one time a grounder was hit at his fielder that went for the automatic base cover, a player he had no control over, and the ball BOPped. i have never seen this happen. has anyone seen this happen?
I'm not positive, but I think I may have once seen the fielder who auto-ran to cover second on a pop up have a bop when the ball came down right on his head. Normally I love that play though.
What I find most frustrating is the computer-assisted putout. You feel so gypped hitting into that shit...
pretty sure I've seen this before
yes

Octo and Big Hath don't seem sure about it, and BDawk is a liar.
I'm sure its happened plenty before....its just that I never take the time to mark something like that....never made a mental note about it...didnt seem important.
are you kidding? it is always mental note worthy when the autocover guy makes a lucky play, and i think it would be even more so if he happened to make a BOP. Lots of OOOOHS and AAAAAAHs from the peanut gallery

What is this?
What I hate is when the computer makes the catcher cover the plate on a low foul pop up that the catcher could otherwise catch.

bingo.
I'll start watching for it in the watch games, but I think I've seen it happen. I record every game so I'll have video if I see if happen
I don't recall ever seeing that happen.
I've seen it happen a couple of times. Worst thing ever.
do you think this helps your quick throw theory? when is that due, by the way?
i keep running into new findings that keep me from finishing. and when a door of possibility opens, i dont want to shut it. the truth will be revealed when it is meant to be. no sooner, no later
