Yup, but try this next time - the catcher won't even attempt to tag the runner, he just throws the ball back to the pitcher and the "walk" cut scene begins.

So what happens during the cutscene? Does the runner score?

Ok, i gotcha. I havent tried that (nor will I, seems a bit cheap), but your beef is with the fact that you can start the runner at third and score on that play when in real life, the catcher would stand up, walk about 10 inches and tag the runner out before he crosses home.

Interesting. Does this happen every time?

Right when I posted that the OP stated what happened next...But I'd like to know if a walk ensues if the runner on 3rd scores then.

yes - and Matt Vasgersian gets all hot and bothered about how amazing it was to steal home.
