Default Re: baseball strategy question

with 2 outs and a 2 run lead the middle infielders wont break to cover the base, so the catcher has no target. they wont break because if they do they will leave gaps open, increasing the chance of a hit.

also, usually the runner on 1st is not being held (same reason, when a 1B holds a runner on it leaves a big gap) so the runner will likely have a great lead so the chances of getting him arent very good at all.
