Nothing too special, but probably the smoothest 3-6 double play you’ll see today

This game is so beautiful sometimes. Trae turners slide to field is so slick too

I usually put my location as New New York but felt like switching things up this year. Obviously a big Futurama fan

Smooth indeed!

Wrong. I line into a 1B catching my line drive and stepping on the base in a single motion literally every day.

I’ve had so many 1B unassisted double plays happen to me during the Charisma showdown alone than in the entire time I’ve been playing MLBTS which is since like ‘08

Random and probably dumb Q but why wasn’t that a force out at 2nd ? Like why did he require the tag

Not dumb my man. What you ask is actually why this is one of the least common double plays. Second base is no longer a force after the initial force at first is made because first base is then open for the runner to go back to if they wanted.

Yep, if you take the force at 1B, you have to tag at 2B; smooth indeed!

As soon an the first basemen touched first base, there was no longer a runner behind the runner heading to second, removing the force play at second.

Probably could’ve been worded better, but the runner on his way second was no longer “forced” to go to second. He could’ve returned to first if he wanted.

Can someone please explain how this is called a 3-6?

Sometimes when I attempt a double play the commentator will say something like 4-6-2! (I’m making it up but it something like that) And I cannot work out why it’s said like that.

Positions on the field have a designated number:

Pitcher - 1 Catcher - 2 1B - 3 2B - 4 3B - 5 SS - 6 LF - 7 CF - 8 RF - 9

Oh that makes a lot of sense. Thank you! Still learning as I go

Yupp so now when you see E6 you’ll know that means error on short stop

How do you do this view when pitching? Where is this view in the settings?

1

I believe this is Strike Zone 2 in Pitching View - Once you go to settings keep scrolling over until it says something like cameras and it should be like the 2nd one down
