Is this a cheesy way to score runs?

[1andonly]

I want to know if you guys think this is a cheesy way to score runs. So recently I just figured out with a decent fast player on 2B with less than 2 outs I can score him every single time.

All I gotta do is lead off twice, steal, have the batter bunt the ball, and then just round 3B with my runner and score.

The by the time the CPU is throwing the ball to 1B my runner has just rounded 3B and they can't get the ball to home fast enough to get me.

What do you guys think of this? It feels kinda cheesy

You post an obvious programming cheat/glitch for all to see and read? Yes, it's completely okay to score runs that way if you're 9 years old and hate losing.

I'm the Padres, I hate losing. I'll do it.

Thanks for the glitch.

How is that a programming cheat/glitch? It sounds like something that could happen.

If you have say, Brett Gardner on 2nd, nobody out, and you bunt while he's running, with his speed he'd be at third around the time the ball hits the bat, then you send him and it's almost like a safety squeeze.

If you're doing it all the time, yeah it's kind of boring and "cheesy." But hey if it's the 8th inning of a tie ball game, do what you gotta do to get that run in.

The firstbaseman has a delay and can't get the ball home fast enough. Not because the player doesn't recognize, but because the animation does a hiccup, and can't get the ballhome fast enough.

You're really going to try to argue and justify this? Really?

huh, why not? It worked in "Major League" with Willie Mays Hayes on 2nd base. Jake Taylor executed a perfect bunt and Hayes beat the throw back to the plate.

Sure, that was a movie, but it COULD happen.

"...every single time."
