I need to get one answer from you, and you need to think long and hard before you answer because you are admittedly going into some VERY dangerous waters, but here goes: Is the early throw BOP (where an error happens when you try to throw before getting the ball) real?

I asked the Lead Programmer, and will let you know if he provides an answer.
Unfortunately, he is not available to visit the forums at this time.

Here is his response... (not sure if that answers your question)

No, there is no early throw error.  The error is just a random percentage (I don't recall off the top of my head whether it was player based or not - I remember wanting to add it, just can't remember if/when it was added)



Looks like we will be continuing to get more members from the team involved. So, I'll try to have questions answered here.

Interesting. So that question is on the "early throw error" but do we know if there is any programming on the "quick throw error" which occurs when trying to turn a double play and the second baseman clearly is covering the bag when catching the ball but the out doesn't register? These two seems related to me somehow.

Quick throw error is a matter of hit detection I'd believe, that's a clear bug. 

[broiler]

if that is the case, is it possible that there is a hit detection glitch with the early throw error as well?

[Gantry]

Pretty sure nightwulf looked at the code itself for the early throw and saw zero evidence of anything.

broiler's commitment to the early throw bop is quite impressive.

right.  but if there is zero evidence on the quick throw also, and we know the quick throw error exists, then maybe there is a case for the early throw error to exist too?

[Gantry]

Nobody has ever dipped into the code of the quick DP throw

if michael has a verdict on this i will accept either way.  i changed my stance from crust to sauce so you know i am an open minded guy.

I'll have to check with the programmer for a verdict.

In the meantime, more garage finds:

Awesome.  Gantry needs to start an online RBI museum that showcases some of this weird shit.

[Brookensrules!]

Would purchase pen.

[Nacho]

My name is Mike.  Just throwing that out there

Never knew this. I always assumed your name was Eric Davis.

In the championship game:
He played with the National League All-Stars.
I played with the American League All-Stars.

Was his name Joe?  Did he cheat?

I bet the answer is "yes" and "hell yes"
