but my question is can a fielder do everything to simulate receiving a throw from another fielder, but never make a fake tag, yet the fielders actions cause the runner to not advance to the next base? is this OBS or does it depend on the sit.



something you see in baseball regularly is on a hit and run, the MI will simulate turning a DP to get the runner to slide into 2nd even though the ball is in the OF.
BretMan and I have already answered this question thoroughly and ad nauseam on that forum.

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
