Incredible

So I’ve largely shrugged at all of the “Fix your game” posts but it’s getting more and more difficult to do as this garbage keeps biting me in the [censored].

First, bases loaded, slow dribbler to the SS side of the mound. I try to get it with P who had the best shot at it for a 1-2-3 DP but my SS was selected and P ran away from the ball like it was COVID infected. Awful.

Fly ball to the LF gap, CF is selected so I go with it and dive, figuring LF will back up. I miss with the dive but instead of backing up, LF dove too, missed, and it rolled to the walk for a triple. Disgusting.

The topper of it all: Runner on 1st, 1 out. Scorching liner to 1B, caught, and my 1B was 2 steps closer to first than the runner’s lead. I hit O to run to tag the bag for the DP and he throws it to the effing pitcher who’s not even halfway to first. Infuriating.

I get that it’s a game and isn’t going to be perfect but this kind of stuff is indefensible.

Oh there was one more splendid occurrence, this time on offense. Runner at first, I initiate the steal and it ends up being a wild pitch that goes to the backstop and ricochets back halfway to the mound. My runner obviously made it to second easily and I was waiting to get back to hitting when I realize my runner never stopped and with NO INPUT FROM ME was heading to third. Easily thrown out and absolutely absurd, especially when runners like to freeze on [censored] clearly to the gap.
