I have experienced significantly fewer successful stolen base attempts in the last few months. This seems to be the case, even against lower than A arms. What say you?

Even Vince ???

I'd say it is to the contrary but that is not scientific. I've ben finding many of my deadballguys who are 35 for 70 or so are running too much, even with steal settings at 1. I have had to set them to zero which I've never done before...

I didnt say more attempts; but more CS's. Anyone else?

I think the CS% has increased slightly since the update showing the actual CS% for catchers. Unless you did a real in-depth study, your observations against non-A+ arms are probably just the result of small sample size and a bias you picked up from looking at the dropping overall success rates of your speed guys resulting from certain knowledge on the part of all the other owners about how good potential catchers' arms are.

I don't see a problem. I just had '09 Ellsbury go 99/106 (RL: 70/82) and '09 Crawford go 110/137 (RL: 60/76)

There was a moment were EVERYONE was getting nailed.

Now it seems like it's back to normal.

I've always used great basestealers on my teams and I don't really see any significant difference since the latest udpate.

Rickey's still not Rickey in this sim and Vincent Van Go always seem to steal more than Rickey, despite the huge difference in OBP.

Rickey's still talking to himself,

"How can Vince always steal more than Rickey?! Rickey's the greatest, of ALL time!"

Thanx.

With the increase in cost of the A+ arms, I'm finding that my guys are more successful at stealing bases.

These deadball idiots are suddenly running like there are free Twinkies on 2nd. Gotta set 'em all to 0 now or they'll kill you.

1966 Tommie Agee (RL 44/62) went 43/62 for me in a 90M theme. I want my money back.
