No. Once a batter walks, the player on the base in front is "given" that base. If I have a runner on first, and 2 outs, full count, and 'steal' - for some reason they will still throw to 2nd?

Well you shouldn't send the runner on 3rd, that makes no sense as there is no force and he can technically be thrown out as much as he could technically steal home and score.

It will happen sometimes, yes - but that doesn't mean he's out. My example was dependant on the bases loaded.

The point is, the computer DOESN'T do anything about it, because it goes directly to the 'walk" cut scene.

ohhh ok...I don't think I am alone in not knowing that was what you meant.

I have never tried that so I have never witnessed it but that is a problem.

My beef is that the CPU doesn't take the appropriate action after the pitch, it's wildly inconsistent.

Thats correct. The runner on 3rd does not ahve to advance. There is no one "pushing him". The guy going from 1st to second can not be tagged out, but the runner from 3rd to home can be.

If the bases were loaded, then the outcome doesnt amtter as the runner is "pushed home" by the walk.

No sweat, my initial post was very vague indeed. My apologies.
