    Re: Your White Whale

    No hitter/ perfect game. Everytime the announcers make mention of it seems like the next batter either gets a hr or some dumb blooper over 2nd base 😡

      Re: Your White Whale

      I just threw a perfect game. It’s terribly bittersweet however, because I was watching TV(I have a 2 TV setup) and had no idea that I had one going and pulled my starter with one out in the 8th. I was so confused as to why the entire team mobbed the mound at the end of a 14-0 game but it still didn’t click until my starter was named player of the game and I saw his stat line. Still feels great though

        Just had mine. A triple play! Playing as the oriols against the Yankees. Judge hit a screamer to Machado, both runners on 1st and second were off on the pitch and it ended up being fairly easy.

          Came within 5 outs of a PG just a few games ago in my franchise. did get one longtime monkey off my back.. not strike out one time in a single game. that I am extremely proud of as I play using what I call generated counts on. so I have a higher chance of doing it than starting out 0-0.

          never hit 3 HR's in one game by a single player

          never scored a single run in every inning of a game.

          there are more than I cant think of right now but oh well...

              been obsessing on hitting the B&O Warehouse at Orioles Park @ Camen Yards. hard to believe it hasn't been done IRL outside of HR derby. I feel like if I replay enough Show 14 with that version of Chris Davis I'll eventually do it. hope there's commentary on it as well

                I looked at my original post in this thread and realized my white whale is no longer possible. As of this season, Mike Trout is no longer in my team. Not that the achievement meant anything to anyone else but me, but still...

                  speaking of trophies and steals, any trophies that have stolen bases involved I'm not likely to collect; in fact, that Millville Meteor one is one I never achieved. I'm a station-to-station kind of guy, always waiting for a bloop and blast. I play with baserunning on auto so steals aren't my strong point. I'm more likely to try to bunt a guy over if I'm needing to play for a single run. even then that's not often.

                  as for my last post, they say homeplate to the B&O Warehouse is as close as 440 feet, from what I can gather. it's strange it hasn't been hit in a game.
                  in any event, I'll keep my harpoon ready, you never know

                      I get more than my fair share of singles w/pitchers but homers don't come easy or often. I have hit a few over the years, and honestly it's more satisfying than hitting for the cycle and 3 or 4 homerun performances from everyday players.

                        World Series. Period. I don’t care about individual player achievements. I won the World Series back in 2009. Nothing since. Besides that I’ve always had a difficult time sticking to a slider set.

                          After winning the World Series the past season I completed (2026) I can scratch this off my list.

                            Hitting for the cycle. This past year I was actually a single away and ended up hitting a double instead. Never been so disappointed to hit a double.

                            A No-hitter/Perfect game. Missed out on 3 no-hitters this year with one almost a perfect game. Just had to set the controller down for a few minutes I was crushed.

                                I'd like to play an entire 162 game season with the same team, playing every out of every inning. I have completed many seasons but with heavy simulation.

                                I have a good start right now as I am about 60 games into a season and have played every pitch, but I found a 73 roster set that squirreled me, so maybe this year isn't the year.
