Frustrating moments of the show

[ML]

Just was in a game, Brewers @ San Diego, I was the Padres.

Top of the 11th, 1 out, Milwaukee triples on a poorly played linedrive to right field (my player watched it miss his glove and roll all the way to the wall)
Ok no big deal I think, then proceed to walk the next 2 batters to get to the 8th hitter, bases loaded, 1 out.

First pitch, a hard ground ball to the shortstop (Theriot was filling in to give my starter a break). Now of course, I grin as this is an easy double play lets get out of the jam and win the game situation right?!?!

Theriot proceeds to pick up the ball, and not throw even though the meter has been filled and I pressed the button like any other routine throw.

The run scores and I go on to lose 1-0 after 11 innings of a pitchers duel.


Anybody else have any frustrating moments they'd like to share?? No flame about the game just times where you wanted to break your controller or times you were just speechless because of boneheaded play by your team

swinging at outside sliders 5 feet out of the strike zone....consecutively.

my brain only tells me to swing at those whenever theres runners in scoring position to end any hopes of driving them in

Put me in the free swinging group. My patience has gone by the wayside and I'm just hacking now. My Astros chise is in the dumps right now.

Re: Frustrating moments of the show

I had this series of events happen against me this morning:

2-outs in the sixth of a 1-0 game. Lead-off hitter (their pitcher) nubs a ball off the end of the bat and it rolls perfectly for a cheap single.

Next batter hits a weak ground ball that the second baseman fails to backhand (which, of course, isn't recorded as an error for some reason).

Next batter hits the softest of liners that gets just over the glove of my third baseman. Bases loaded.

Next batter lifts a soft fly ball to right and my RF dives for it and misses, allowing all three runs to score. Next guy rips a line drive right at my shortstop for the third out.

4 pathetically soft hits leads to 3 runs. Baseball is maddening sometimes.

Playing a Spring Training game with the Cards, against the Red Sox. David Ortiz hits a ball into the shift and my 2nd baseman throws a high arcing lob to 1st base(even though the meter was full) so he reaches. Middlebrooks goes on to get a single, so 1st and 2nd, no outs. Napoli comes in to pinch hit, hits a slow line drive to left field and David Ortiz scores because my LFers arm is crap! How Ortiz could score from 2nd on anyone is beyond me!

Let me see...how about the game freezing in every league gm. The game is just about unplayable in league play...beyond frustrating.

Read the OP's post. This thread isn't for trashing the game. It is for pointing out frustrating/humorous series of events that have transpired during gameplay.

Re: Frustrating moments of the show

Me and my roomate currently have a franchise still going on The Show '12, still going on while we wait for the rosters to be set and everything. We are in year 2014, he is the Orioles and I'm the Padres.

He played an especially great game today, up 3-2 against the Cards going into the 9th inning. He was so happy he played extremely well after a lot of things had been going wrong for him in-game lately (untimely errors, unclutch abs, etc.)

In comes Johnson, his priced possession, big contract holder, all-star closer. I proceed to watch him lose the game 7-3 while freaking out while also getting struck out in his final 3 ABs. I feel bad but at the same time...

Trust me when I figure it out you'll be one of the first to know

Re: Frustrating moments of the show

For me it would just be walking batters. I've played a lot of baseball games and MLB The Show is the most frustrating when it comes to walks. I can be ahead 0-2 and still walk the guy.

Re: Frustrating moments of the show

i'm a free swinger as well and yell expletives when striking out stupidly, when my door is open my roommate always is like "what happened"
I always reply with "another slider away"...
and he always says "you should probably stop swinging then" lol

Re: Frustrating moments of the show

User controlled errors such as:
Thinking you did proper controls to throw to a specific base, but somehow you didn't

Attempting to make a diving/sliding catch(but then after realizing you'd have been better off if you didn't dive)

Thinking your guy could make the extra base but he gets tagged out a few inches from the base



Also, when you see a pitch coming, it's in a zone you like, and once you swing it's either:
A.Pop fly to the catcher
B.Real early swing for a miss
C.Foul ball
