I got into baseball in 2009, and straight away bought my first The Show, which naturally was the 09 edition. Ever since the day the game arrived in my mailbox, no hitters and perfect games have eluded me. I came close in 2012, pitching no hit baseball with Jaime Garcia all the way to the final out in the ninth, and then the CPU got a single.
Today seemed to be much like that day in 2012. I had Jaime on the mound, the Brewers were the opponent. I breezed through 6 innings. Usually that's as far as I get, so I start thinking that they'll get the hit soon. I don't want to be too disappointed when they reach base, so I try not to get excited.
Then I retire the side in the seventh. Okay, now I'm starting to feel the nerves. Eighth inning down. Is this really happening? Jason Rogers absolutely smokes the ball to start the ninth, but Heyward makes the running catch at the track. Hector Gomez hits a lazy fly to Bourjos in center. Segura comes in to hit for the pitcher, and he's always been a tough out against me. Pops up to first! My girlfriend and our cats look confused as I jump up from the bed, yelling, and start running around the house. A perfect game!
I only struck out two, but my defense was great. Adams made a great diving stop at first in the third inning, and Adam Lind hit into the shift every single time.
Hopefully starting a new thread for this isn't too much. I'm just so damn pumped right now!
