why a force at 2b on single

PostFri Dec 11, 2020 8:02 am

I'm not sure how you get a force at 2b on a single?
What am I missing here in the 8th?

Hodges has a clean single at 2-6 https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/35 ... 292/452186
Tjeres nothing to indicate why this happened in game, it stopped a rally and potentially cost me the game (along with HAL continuing to give me imbalanced rolls for 10+seasons) .

Likely scenario: Runner was hit by the batted ball. Runner in this case is immediately called out, and the batter gets credit for a single.

Actual scenario: He misread the play. It was runners at 1st and 2nd and the runner at 2nd was thrown out at the plate.

What are you talking about clearly says o-2.
What mechanically is happening here to cause an out. I know it'll. But there's no clues. Its just frustrating and seems like the game glitched and gave me a loss.
Is this defense charts? Is this the effect of infield in?

Aaron walk
Mathews walk - runners on 1st & 2nd

2 12 G.Hodges 2-6 Single (CF) 2-o 1-3 b-2 F9

Hodges singles. As Smith says, runner on 2nd is thrown out at home. That's the 2-o. Runner on 1st goes to 3rd, 1-3 and batter went to 2nd - b-2 but neither of those matter since the 3rd out was made at home

At the bottom of play-by-play it lists 2-o as runner thrown out. Presumably at home plate (I guess maybe there could be a situation wherr he was forced at third).When you have a double play it will say 1-o. That means the runner on first got forced at second. If he was thrown going to third it would still say 1-o. The 2 just indicates where the runner started, not where the out got recorded. So, as the above posters indicsted, the outfielder just threw him out at home.

As Freeman said, at the bottom it states:

O,B: Number of outs, bases occupied at the time of the play. "0 2" - No outs, runner on 2nd; "2 1 3" - 2 outs, runners on 1st & 3rd

Baserunners: The fate of each baserunner as a result of the play. "b-1" - Batter reached 1st; "3-H" - runner on 1st scored; "2-0" - runner on 2nd thrown out

Misc.: "gb(SS)X" - Fielding chart X-chance; "bpSI/bpHR" - ballpark single or homerun chance

PCF: The pitcher's Pitch Count Fatigue status after the play.

Lex, you need to reset. I know you're frustrated but you need to dial it back. There is no wide scale conspiracy against you, so don't look for false needles in a haystack.
