OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Runner on wrong base at end of play

I don't see anything in there saying that Phillipson went to third. Only that Ober scored and the play was made at "trailing runner."

It doesn't say WHICH trailing runner, and IIRC, what the system does is pull the most appropriate PBP tag for the play. Hutchinson may have passed Phillipson at second base, which is an automatic out. As somebody pointed out, he might have been gunning for two and forced to put the brakes on if Phillipson didn't advance past second base.

I wouldn't necessarily consider this a bug unless the PBP specifically said Phillipson was out, instead of the vague "throw made at trailing runner."
