they made the bat speed significantly faster this year.

You can either adjust your own timing, or raise the pitch speed.

That's cool nem. Yeah 19" it's pretty bad LOL. I'm ready to buy a HDTV but I am really lost when it comes to video games. I am not going to trust a salesman at a store. I am not sure about native resolution and how that can effect framerate. I just want a HDTV that is going to have no input lag or the very minimal amount. I was thinking about a 32" LCD 720p possibly. What do you have and do you experiment any lag??

Was playing today and had a guy on 1st with no outs. Ball hit to second baseman, underhands to the SS (out#1) then throws to first but too high and goes in the dugout. The batter is now standing on 3rd.

Pretty sure you can only advance to second on that play. Also I realize it is an early build but that might be something that you don't see very often so I wanted to post it in case the devs never saw this before.

When we were in SD it took a few games before I got the timing down. The timing is totally different between 08 and 09.

I have a Panasonic LCD, very happy with it, no lag at all for me.

Rule 7.05 f -g

(f) Two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines;

(g) Two bases when, with no spectators on the playing field, a thrown ball goes into the stands, or into a bench (whether or not the ball rebounds into the field), or over or under or through a field fence, or on a slanting part of the screen above the backstop, or remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting spectators. The ball is dead. When such wild throw is the first play by an infielder, the umpire, in awarding such bases, shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the ball was pitched; in all other cases the umpire shall be governed by the position of the runners at the time the wild throw was made;

....and I don't believe he can be awarded first base on that play...so he is ruled safe and then given two bases...(I'm pretty sure)
