I don't get how if you steal on a full count and its a ball how you still get called out. Doesn't make sense.. maybe I need to see the game on TV to understand.
Like someone previously said, you only are allowed ONE free base. BUT, at your own discretion, you can advance to the next base but you will be at the risk of being thrown out.
Lets say there are runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out, batter has a 3-1 count, pitcher throws a WILD pitch, clearly ball 4. Both the runners and the batter are now allowed ONE free advance. However, say the wild pitch goes far, far away from the catcher, all 3 of those runners can keep advancing at their own risk.
