Those get up and yell moments...

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Here is another one. I am doing a pirates chise as well. So keeping with my "tradition" ( I always play the entire rotation 1st time through each season then back to simming )game 2 of Cubs - Bucs. they run out some cpu gen pitcher to start the game, they go up 4-1 going into the 9th I have 8 or 9 hits at this point. Now I had my chances, I left runners on in scoring position a few times throughout the game. I just couldn't get them in.

But I digress. So bottom of the 9th, Joe Capps on to close it out. 1st guy up hits a single 2nd guy pops out, 1 away, third guy bloops a single and the guy from 1st goes to 3rd. Next batter strikes out swinging at a (my)baaaaad curve out of the zone. Up next Jose Tabata. He goes down 0-2 with junk painting the corners, I am thinking... well can't win em all. next pitch high 1-2, then another breaking ball low and away 2-2. next pitch..... hangs the breaker right down the middle and BOOM Tabata crushes it to tie er up! I was doing laps around my living room for like 3 mins after that! ended up going 15 btw for the win but to tie it like that was exhilerating

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

I have a better batting average with 2 outs than 0 or 1 out. That obviously sucks cause it means less chances to get runs.

I always hate how my players don't do anything with 0 or 1 outs, and the second it's 2 outs, they wake up and hit.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Game 1 of the NLDS I am at home facing the Brewers and Corey Hart hits a whimpy little HR off of the left field foul pole to drive in two, and the next inning I give up two doubles and a single to trail the Brew Crew 4-0.

Come the 5th inning I get a leadoff single and Chris Young drives him home on a single (thrown out going to 2nd) to trail 4-1. 6th inning comes around and Miguel Montero hits a deep double off of the wall and Paul Goldschmidt singles him home off a line drive over Greinke's glove, trail 4-2. Come the 7th inning Chris Young at bat again and blasts a homer off of Greinke and knocks him out of the game, I get a few more runners on but four double-plays in the game really killed me.

Getting into the bottom of the 8th inning, Ian Kennedy is lifted for a pinch hitter after a pop out and Geoff Blum nails a fastball off of K-Rod to get a leadoff double, Stephen Drew fails to move the runner over and up again comes Chris Young. I zone in for a 2-seam fastball inside, and the screen lights up with a correct guess, Chris Young nailed a 2-run go-ahead shot in the form of a laser beam into the left field stands.

David Hernandez comes in to close the game, he gives up a leadoff double and Aoki pinch hits only to ground out to SS, no advance. Next batter grounds out to 1st and the runner moves to 3rd with two outs, and Nyjer Morgan with two strikes pops a shallow fly ball to Chris Young to end the game.

Player of the game: Chris Young.

Well deserved, I totally stole that game from Milwaukee.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Got another yell moment last night.

Score is 6-5 and I have 2 outs in the 9th. Im at bat with Andrew Jones, and he gets hit by the pitch.

Mark Texiera comes to bat and I hit a walk off HR on the very first pitch. It was so damn sweet. Yes another yell moment for me

The computer must think I cheat since I keep coming back on them lol.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

I am having these moments but they are not good yells, I hope someone will answer this question for me, Why are my base runners running back to their base instead of advancing? Base running is on default controls with assist decisions. I've had this happen the last 2 games of my franchise. Instead of running to the next base they go back and I end up out.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

The last 2 games I played against the Marlins, the umpires kept blowing calls while I was pitching. When Valdespin got thrown out at 1st, he exploded, then got ejected from the game. Nice to have someone else yell at the umpire besides me. Lol.

I use a differnt setup. I cant explain what the issue is for you, but I can refer to use this setup.

I use what I think is called Icon or traditional base running. Man I cant remember the description. The base runners have a icon and the bottom triggers either (L2)advance or (R2)retreat all runners, or you can hold the icon of the runner you want to advance and hit the dpad to the base you want them to run to.

It is really easy, and I never have any issues on the base pads. Give it a try.

Because you pressed the button to retreat to the previous base.

"No I didn't."

Yes, you did. Otherwise your players not be "running back to their base instead of advancing."

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Playing my franchise with the Phillies. In San Diego for a 4 game series and currently with a 5 game winning streak ( pitching has been dominant). I'm up 3-2 in the 9th and I bring in Papelbon for his 6th save of the season. Mark Kotsay is the pinch hitter and drops a bunt. Maybin comes up and drops a bunt followed by Bartlett dropping a bunt. Bases loaded no outs and I strike out 3-4 and 5 hitters ( Carlos Quentin and two others). It was a Jordan fist pump moment, Papelbon was throwing some serious heat.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Beat Seattle 6-0, Collmenter throws a complete game shut-out, try to exit, FREEZES!

Cue a torrent of curse words being thrown at my TV.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

LoL!!! That's awesome!!

Was sitting on first pitch curveball with Lillibridge, used the power swing, watched the ball sail over the center field wall, flipped my controller like Brett Boone and pimp walked around my room for five minutes lol

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Was the 2nd of a 3 game home stand against the Yankees. Bottom of the 9th with 2 out. Corey Wade pitching for the Yanks. Sold out crowd at The Big A. Kendrys Morales had stared the game with back to back jacks. Its his time now in the 9th. On a 1-2 FB Kendrys hits a wall scraper over the right field fence that went around the foul pole for a walk off. Nice thing about it. Morales didn't get hurt celebrating.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Had one last night. I pitched 7 shutout innings with Colby Lewis. I was playing the mariners and Felix Hernandez was equally dominant. Anyway, I take a 1-0 lead when Mitch Moreland singled in a run in the top of the 8th. Instead of sending Lewis back out in the bottom of the 8th I bring ogando and he mows them down 1 2 3. So I don't score in the top of the ninth but no fear, Im bringing in joe Nathan who is 11 for 11 in save opportunities with .79 era thru may 22nd. So I got this game in the bag, right? Wrong!! Nathan gets 1 out then gives up a double to Justin smoak. I walk Jesus Montero intentionally to set up a double play....I know I know, I shouldn't put the winning run on base but I was winning this game. So Kyle Seaver comes up and I strike him out. Next up is Michael Saunders with men on first and second with 2 outs. On a 1-2 pitch he hits a deep fly ball to the track....I'm going back with David Murphy and I can feel from the moment I took control of him that something was wrong....I finally get him to the spot and he freaking stumbles around like he lost the ball in the sun. Ball drops and everyone scores and I lose 2-1.

So not only did Murphy cost me a win, he cost Colby Lewis a win and joe Nathan's 12 straight save.

With all that happened, that's why I love this game. Even though I lost its fun when crazy things like that happen. Some people would say that's the CPU cheating but I look at it like that could really happen and it did.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

Bottom of the 20th jose bautista flies out to rightfield(out 1). Next up adam lind lines to center for a single. Colby rasmus up to bat 2-1 count and he grounds to center for a single. Lind advances to 2. Next up 1st pitch Ben Francisco hits a walk off double.

^^That was the single most tense and exciting moment of this week for me and for this game.

By the way this was against the royals. I wa using the blue jays in my franchise.

Re: Those get up and yell moments...

More reason to hate the yankees....I was leading by 5 in the 8th, they got 3 in the 8th, 2 in the 9th, and won it in the 10th.


What sucks more is how they got 3 home runs, and my fielders suck so much.

Plays ANY mlb player can make, my guys cant.

Rajai davis gets a ball, but then instead of throwing the ball to the cutoff guy like I controlled him to do, he runs 5-6 more steps into the wall, before pressing off it, THEN throwing the ball. Obviously a runner scores. Not too long after...he has a pop fly, and the ball bounces off his wrist and drops.....

Then Rasmus has an easy fly ball, and he lets it go past him and that's the game right there.
