Attempted steal & double play...caught stealing?

[JTommy67]

Runner on first, no outs. Send the runner on first and batter hits a hard grounder to short and double play is turned.

Checking the stats revealed that the runner on first got charged with a caught stealing. Anybody else noticed this?

Was the runner on first on a steal attempt or hit-and-run?

I have noticed a lot of weird things with the base runners too. Such as my RTTS runner on first stealing on a full count, batter walks, I get credited with a stolen base. Or my guy getting picked off and counted as "caught stealing."

wow weird!

I've had my RTTS player credited with a steal on 3-2 count 2 out walk as well. And in my Cubs franchise last night, I had a runner on first, nobody out called for hit and run (I think it was a 2-1 count) and hit it to right field, single and the runner advanced to third, runner on third credited with a stolen base.

I have seen it. I also have been charged with a caught stealing on a hit and run when I hit a line drive to an infielder and my guy has no chance of getting back to first and gets doubled up.

This may be related, but I've also seen, with less than two outs, baserunners take off running as if the batter hit a foul ball when instead he checked his swing w/ no contact. This happens to me when I never called a steal in the first place.

It's obviously just the wrong animation being called, but in real life they'd be thrown out.

This had happened to me now about 9 different times with my RTTS player. But hey I'm not complaining I'll take the free bases lol.
