Agreed! The Umpire Close Calls were WAY WAY WAY overdone this year... The option should be listed as Umpire Bad Calls smh.

It was during my perfect game with my rtts pitcher on the White Sox AAA team.

1 out in the top of the 9th the batter hits a shot down the third base line, my third baseman makes a diving stop gets to his feet and throws the guy out by half a step.
The whole time I'm going, " get it, get it, yes yes yes!!!". My wife is staring at my like, you're such a *******.

Man at times like this I wish you could turn off the profanity filter.

Mine might be a little different, but I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see a good pitcher in the minor leagues succeed then get crushed in their first 2 starts in the bigs, haha. I've probably played close to 75 games in my A's franchise between the minors and majors, and Peacock has been as close to unhittable in AAA as you can get (supporting a 8-3 records, 3.14 ERA, and a low walk/decent K rate. First 2 starts combined in the majors looked like: 7IP, 15 hits, 9 runs, a good amount of BBs, and a high pitch total every inning it seems like. Maybe next start! Haha.

Playing the O's last night. Trailing all game. Finally tie it at 5 in the 8th.

Bottom of the 9th, Freeman gets a lead-off double. Moves to third on a fly ball to right. I bring in Pastornicky to pinch run. Diaz, pinch hitting, walks. I decide I'm going to try a suicide squeeze with Bourn at the plate, but on the second pitch. The CPU apparently read my mind, because it pitched out on the first pitch.

So on the second pitch, I drop down the bunt - a tad too hard. The 1B comes up throwing, but Pastornicky slides in under the tag. That's mine.

down 1 run with runners on 2nd and 3rd, bottom of the 8th with 2 outs. i work a full count, then foul off a few so he's thrown at least 10 pitches. then i take a fastball that is DEFINITELY a ball and the umpire calls it a strike... i ended up losing the game... i punched at least 5 baby giraffes that night.

This game is getting real annoying. Why can't I ever lose normally!

If I win, it's either a blowout, or a good game. If I lose, it's cause the CPU gets all these cheap moments to win.

3 groundballs that were all balls hit,all directly long the 1B or 3B line for the AI. In another inning, I change my pitcher. And the first 3 pitches my reliever throws...double(scores a run).....double(scores a run).....double(scores a run).

I looked at mine vs AIs hit chart and all my hits are mid-upper part of strike zone. All AIs hits are middle-lower strike zone. All my double plays are mid-low strike zone. So how is it that the AI can get hit after hit after hit after hit in areas that I'd 99% ground into double plays.

And why are so many of my strikes thrown directly down the middle, despite the fact that I aim out of the strike zone, and the analog meter flashes yellow(meaning it was a good-perfect timing on the pitch)
