[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1727533, member: 747217"] The pickoff limitation seems odd to me. I know it’s annoying when a pitcher goes to first 6 times… But if you limit it to 2, and the pitcher uses both…it guarantees to the base runner that the next movement the pitcher makes is going home…gving the runner the ultimate advantage (unless it’s a lefty pitcher). I guess the whole cat/mouse game between the pitcher and runner would be with that first pickoff attempt…but after that I bet we don’t see many other moves toward first. So if the intent is the shorten the game and/or get more RISP I guess it achieves it. But it just seems odd to me. (I’m also out of touch with baseball so maybe this is a great thing) [/QUOTE]
