Re: Perfect Game!!

Cool are there trophies for doing a perfect game or no hitter?

Re: Perfect Game!!

Threw a perfect game with Shane Bieber two nights ago!

Had never even thrown a no hitter in any version of The Show.

Congrats

Re: Perfect Game!!

whenever I see a perfect game tossed in the Show,
I always think, there are perfect games...
and then there are perfect games, video game-wise:
27 strikeouts.
I've never thrown a perfect game, dont even think I've taken one past the 6th inning.

oh yeah, the most important thing:

congrats, a true ''Instant Classic'' lol

Prior to last year I too had never had a no hitter let alone a perfect game. I had come close to a no hitter once, except that on that occasion my pitcher surrendered a hit early in the game (but no run was scored) and was allowed to stay in the game to complete a one hit complete game shutout. A great accomplishment but still not a milestone moment.

But that all changed last year with my Padres RTTS pitcher who was in his 5th season at the MLB level when he not only threw a perfect game against the Marlins, but a few weeks later followed it up with a no hitter against (dang I forget who he threw it against ... D'Oh).

However 27 strike outs? That is just unheard of, at least at the MLB level. It might have happened in the real world in an amateur game, but I do not think it has ever happened in professional baseball (major or minor leagues)?

With all that said, does my perfect and no hitters in MLBTS really count since they were achieved in RTTS games? RTTS is a cool mode, but if you play with your players for a number of years, their skills get so high that they just dominate the competition. The stats my Padres pitcher (in his 6th season at the MLB level) are just well ... just like I was playing a video game.

PS: don't want to spoil anything here, but the color commentary when you are successful in achieving a perfect game are unlike any other game you will play in this series.

yeah, 20 strikeouts in a 9 innings is the gold standard and you can count on 1 hand how often that's happened.

ah well, strikeouts are fascist and groundballs are more democratic anyways, or so I've heard lol

The most strike outs my Padres RTTS pitcher has even thrown in a single game is 17 and that has only happened once. I believe around 12 or 13 is his average. Keep in mind he often goes 7, 8 or yes 9 innings thanks to the high endurance he has built up over his RTTS career once again an unrealistic RTTS achievement as most real world managers these days are looking for 6 maybe 7 innings from their starters.

Never heard of that, but given the toxic world we are evolving into, it does not surprise me. However if you want your pitchers to throw no hitters, its best for them to be contact ground ball generators and hope that the fielders can vacuum everything up. Problem with strike out pitchers is the inflated pitch counts. One thing I have learned in this game is to be effective as a pitcher you need to throw the ball outside of the strike zone more often than not and hope that there is enough deception in the pitches to make the batter think the ball will arrive in the strike zone when in reality it won't.
