Oh please. Weird stuff happens in baseball all the time. If you can't accept the occasional statistical oddity, The Show (and baseball as a whole for that matter) probably isn't for you.

Hey i've got no problem with Wise hitting two hrs. off Kershaw in a video game or other statistical oddities.

The problem is that when you boast yourself as "the most realistic baseball game", people tend to believe it and when they see things such as Stephen Strasburg playing for Toronto in the year 2014, it seems to lessen the believability of it. I see a lot of people here complain about a variety of things....some legit, some silly. Point being, expectations are probably way too high and people lash out because they didn't get the product they thought they were getting.

The thing is you don't know what's gonna happen. That's baseball. Nobody thought Johnny Damon would ever play for the Yankees. Or Michael Young for a team that's not the Rangers. Most people thought Felix would leave Seattle. Crazy stuff happens. If people don't want any transactions that's one thing. But to nitpick strange ones when there are stranger ones in real life is pointless.

You haven't seen the McCutcheon & Posey commercial?

The Seaver one really hurt. Plus him crying on camera just added to it.
