it doesn't keep track of the 2nd or third time they touch the ball, so it can't understand it. or if it does, it's not written (user feedback) to take advantage of that info corerctly in that one case. it's possible it's tracked in away that can't really display it in pbp correctly at moment in that specific way.
they can fix that for sure. just pops up so seldomnly compared to other areas they continually improve, i'm sure. most of that stuff is volunteer work, if not mistaken? the asthetic part of pbp, not the coding. i bet it's part of a ongoing strategy of maintainance in that area.

i know what you meant though. unless we got some spooky action at a distance happening in OotP... quantum baseball!
