      Cubs just squeeze bunted twice in a row. First was suicide with Ross scoring Baez (which turned into a defensive mess), second was Lester with a safety squeeze.

      ...You know what, I'm not even gonna comment on this one.

          Would somebody nerf the effing pitchers already, please? There's no way... not only for a wide receiver from NCAA 07 to be playing a baseball game but for that guy to get two hits and drive in three on really solid contact PLUS go 7 2/3.

          That's it, I've had it with this game. First they ruin my team's uniforms but now they give receivers, er, pitchers way too much credit.

            There's a glitch in this game...the dbacks just put a pitcher in to play the field. Hopefully this is fixed in the next patch.

                So, playing the Nats yesterday in the midst of a very frustrating start to the season, including losing the first two of this series and I'm up 4-3 in the 9th. Of course they pinch hit Harper, who was resting, and he hits a solo bomb to lead off the 9th, 4-4. Whatever, we get out of the inning and we'll win in the 10th... or not. 15th Inning, we finally get on the board and I figure this is finally it. My reliever (who had been out there for the previous 3 innings and was nearly out of energy) gets the first two outs before walking Espinoza. I pull him and bring in a reliever to pitch to... Oliver Perez. So, I'm thinking, "I've got this, no problem, we're going to finally get on track and start climbing back into this division race." Espinoza steals 2nd and then... Perez drops down a bunt!!! I field it with my catcher (the backup who was starting), fill up the throw meter and... he tosses it into right field. Espinoza scores and the next inning we give up a solo jack and lose. Curse you and your comeback code, SCEA!!!

                  Man, something similar happened to me yesterday. I get a 5 run rally in the 8th to go up 10-7. OF COURSE here comes the CPU right back in the 9th. Single, Single, Walk, (at this point there were 2 outs) Single, Wild Pitch, Double, Double. They score 5 and I'm down 12-10.

                  This is ridiculous.

                    So, I score 16 runs against the Astros, in my Mariners franchise. 8 off Keuchel!!! Who has owned me for the better part of the last 2 versions of The Show. Then proceed to get shutout my next 3 games by mediocre pitchers. So, according to SCEA, one must have a quota of runs that they're able to score in a given week? Or it could just be the Mariner way?

                        This comeback code is making me seriously ill.

                        Up 5-1 in the seventh, best pitcher on the mound and we're cruising. Good third inning makes me think that my hitting issues have somewhat gone by the wayside and my starter Stroman is just suddenly no longer able to get anyone out. Gets #9 hitter to the plate, just gotta get one more out after *another* pitcher hit by a liner up the middle. Seriously, SCEA? This has been 3 solid years now you're missing this key freaking piece of animation.

                        Anyways, walk the #9 hitter, bring in my best LHP reliever who starts flicking blue tips at a kerosene laden infield, finally Floyd comes in and gets the out after two more score. 5-1 to a 7-5 finish? With this lineup and bullpen?

                        You owe me a new controller, SCEA. Where do I send the bill?

                          Whats funny to me is that in the show I'm lights out with Cecil. He's seriously my best pitcher. IRL however.... whew man he suuuuuuccccks. Tonight was just bad. I seriously considered trading him in my game even though he's been my best pitcher purely out of spite.

                            It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.
