It seems like once or twice a series a one or no-out bases loaded situation occurs....ground ball on the infield, runner out at the plate for just one out is the result...yet in real life, a double play sometimes gets turned by the catcher throwing out the batter runner at first base. Especially if the corners are up or the infield in playing in. I've yet to see a double play in this situation, only single outs at the plate--i've got almost 2 seasons on experience now. Anyone recall seeing Broken Bat yield a double play like i've describe? Or is this an omission by the game engine?

I have no idea how the coding works for all these plays that are left out or only conservatively implemented. While Broken Bat is a bit different when you get down to that level, it's a great simulator overall so I just follow Bear Grylls advice: https://wompampsupport.azureedge.net/fetchimage?siteId=7575&v=2&jpgQuality=100&width=700&url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.kym-cdn.com%2Fentries%2Ficons%2Ffacebook%2F000%2F023%2F987%2Fovercome.jpg
