Anyone else seeing lots of guys getting doubled off on hit and runs on what seem to be routine fly balls to the OF? I know it COULD happen, but IMO, it rarely does, most of the time, they'd have time to get back.

Yeah, I see it happen more than I think it should...

Have you ever seen a line drive to the outfield, according to the play-by-play? That could be what's happening, here.

Imagine a sinking liner which looks like it might drop in, being caught on the run by the fielder, who then throws behind the surprised runner.

I've seen lots of "line outs" to the OF, and I could understand a Hit and Run being busted on that. The one's I am referring to are clearly flyballs, both in trajectory, and in the play description.

I also see way too many ground ball double plays on hit and run. You see this happen very rarely in MLB. I mean the point of hit and running is to stay out of the DP. I rarely use SAC and H&R because they seldom work IMO.

I'll look into both, thanks.
