baserunner at 1st.

Joe Dirtbag mentioned that the runner doesnt always have the same lead off 1st.  i tried it, and only once it happened, but the runner had a small lead.   the other times the runner would have 1 foot on the turf and 1 on the grass and a big lead.

i got pissed cause i kept hitting homers or pop outs, so i really didnt have many base runners for 6 innings of a game to actually get a good variety of men on base.

more research needs to be done to look for tendencies.

My pitcher was picked off the other day, a legit pick off to.

I start the runners more often than not, it was maybe the third pitch of the at bat, and I heard a sound which somehow had me think that the pitcher was going into the wind up, it was indeed a pick off, I started to second as soon as the screen switched, and slid back with the throw barely beating my runner.

It was pathetic, and we laughed about it for a good three minutes.

is he talking about quick-pitching the batter?  the runner will stop his lead-off wherever he is when the pitcher starts his delivery - if you wait before pitching the runner takes a full lead-off

now this is just on the pitching-batting screen, not sure if it actually makes a difference when it switches to the defense-baserunning view

dunno.....he didnt mention that.  or else he didnt know thats what happens.

Reminds me of Anchorman when he says something like

"I wrote it in my diary and laughed about it later that night."

I don't believe this is the only time the runner gets a different lead.
