Fun Post-Game Thoughts

[TheWarmWind]

Just finished up a game and had a funny moment, thought or anecdote to share?

Leave it below. Figured it was about time for another fun thread.

I'll kick us off:

When you're on a win streak, but the ONLY reason why is because of pitching:

Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.

2 on, nobody out, and my power hitter at the plate.

Then I accidentally bump the steal button...



My brain doesn't recover in time, I totally mess everything up, and both runners get caught.

I facepalm at my own ineptitude.

Blew a three run lead and lost on a walk off......

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

I'm facing a SP with a 97MPH FB, a 88 MPH Splitter, and a 77 MPH CH. After the first inning I KNOW I'm not going to hit this guy.

I switch to grind mode. 90 pitches and 6 innings deep, I finally get him out of the game, down 3-1 with my only run made on an error, a stolen base, and a weak grounder up the middle that just barely made it through.

They turn to their bullpen in the 7th. I'm just sitting there thinking:



PS I ended up winning 5-3. Tying run for them came to the plate in both the 8th and 9th but got no further.

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

in the post-game batter analysis, I know what ''jammed'' is but whats the Shows definition of ''rolled''?

I'm facing a SP with a 97MPH FB ... and a 77 MPH CH.

thats the very definition of filthy. I dont really like that I cant create a guy with such a discrepancy though

It is filthy, but now that I'm starting to get used to framerate mode on the Pro, I'm actually seeing those CH a lot better.

But when a Splitter is in the mix as well? I'm done.

Seriously, the pro has made hitting a lot better of an experience. Well, that and turning off commentary so I don't have Matt, Dan, and Harold yakking in my ear distracting me. Another recent change I made. Those two changes has made the show way less stress inducing to me. Not that I mind stress, but there is "good" and "bad" stress, and these two things I'd file under bad.

Apparently the Auto-Tune rapper from the background music knows me, and that I want to go to Crustations to get some red snapper.

Have you guys ever actually listened to the generic background music? The lyrics are pretty hilarious.

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

I'm starting to call the heart of my order "the dogs" because of how often they are getting walked this season.

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

I started calling Juan Fabregas (a kid that I drafted) "the fabulous Juan"

In 92 games the kid has 30 homeruns, 89 RBI's, and 30 stolen bases.

Kid is a beast and is going to get paid this offseason.

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

I can’t even remember I’ve gotten the leadoff guy out in the 9th inning in a tight game.

Also nobody factcheck this but if you walk a guy to start the inning he scores 90% of the time.

maybe on all-star difficulty and higher, but not on veteran

Watch a Mets game, their veteran pitchers certainly don’t understand that!

Re: Fun Post-Game Thoughts

Is anybody else overly superstitious? I stood up and managed to get out of a bases loaded no out jam unscathed in the bottom of the 6th. Naturally, I stood for the rest of the game!
