Plays at first with the pitcher covering.
-
When there is a ball hit at the first baseman, there is a couple of instances where when the first baseman flips the ball to the pitcher and the pitcher is running to the bag, he will stop before he steps on first (where the runner would be out ( very normal play and was a 100% of the time instance in 21)) and instead of hitting the bag (also with no input) he will stop and try to tag the runner (which in this case the base runner was sliding) which resulted in the runner being safe. As much as the Pirates play against the Cubs was funny, I feel like this isn't the result of the play that anyone would choose when you would choose with no one on base and a free groundout when all the pitcher has to do is step on first, especially when it was a automatic play in past years. Otherwise no other issues yet.
