Or being closer to third with R2 (working C+ / D-) in case there's a steal.

On a very separate note, had you been caught cheating toward the steal, and didn't get a good look or what ever 3rd world play you want to come up with that made it so you missed the play at the plate, would anyone else simply say "NO, He Didn't", and get on with things.

Please I know "Don't miss the play", I'm not talking about that blunder, just he response you would give had said blunder occured, and yes you can retire after the game out of shame that you missed it.

One thing for sure is that I am not going to say "Yes he did!" if I didn't see it!

Heck yeah - if for some reason I missed the play, "No he didn't" is most definitely my response.
