If these players don't even try, why do they even continue the game? It's so bad that in the NBA if a team is down 7 pts with 1:00 to go... they just call it a night. It's fucking laughable.
Did you mention the odds you layed for the +3.5 runs? Just stating the obvious here...you picked the wrong day to bet on that system play. I wouldn't double up tomorrow though.
So fucking lazy. Why even pretend to run? After you hit it and don't try... and they make the out before you're half way to the bag... why not just immediately trot to the dugout after you hit it?

The largest deficit overcome appears to be nine runs, more than 107 years ago. On April 24, 1901, in their first American League game, the Detroit Tigers scored 10 runs in the ninth inning to beat Milwaukee, 14-13. The next month, the Cleveland Blues (renamed the Indians the next year) scored nine runs in the bottom of the 9th to beat Washington. Cleveland’s first two batters were out, and then the deluge began
More recently and less controversially, the Braves came back from seven runs down on May 10, 1994, to force extra innings and then they beat the Phillies in 15; six years later the Brewers overcame a ninth-inning deficit of seven runs to extend the game and beat the Astros in 10 innings. In all, home fans have cheered on seven ninth-inning comebacks from seven runs down since 1957, according to baseball scribe John Walsh, who dug through Retrosheet files.
