Situation: no outs, runner on 1b. Batter grounds out 4-3, runner advances to 2b.
I touch-then-swipe the out button and select 4-3 ground out.
I then have to say it was a ground out and mark the spot the ball went to.
Then, I have to say that the runner from 1b is safe at 2b, advanced by batter.
2 questions:
1) Why doesn't iScore already have ground out selected after I select 4-3 ground out? It seems to default to whatever the previous out was.
2) Why doesn't iScore already have the runner from 1b at 2b so I can just select the advanced by batter option?
It's not a bit deal to hit the extra buttons but I keep wondering about these things.
Thanks.

Re: Question about runner advancing assumptions
Our next release actual does default the "quick plays" to ground outs instead of the previous play.
The reason for #2 is that the runner does not have to advance when the batter is out. We do advance the runner automatically if the batter is safe, but if the batter is out, you have the option of leaving the runner on first. If we moved the runner over by default, and that was not intended, you can not move a runner backwards (iScore prevents it), but if you accidentally forget to advance the runner, you always have the option of still advancing without having to Undo first.
