I love this game, but I'm real bad at it. How bad? I just 3-1 on all-star and feel accomplished.

Speaking of walks, I walked three times in that game. Two were Stanton and the CPU was obviously pitching around him. Still, felt good.

I just had someone rage quit a ranked game. I was 1 K away from finishing the Archer program :(.

Playing RTTS. Man, show time kind of breaks the running game huh? My 58 speed (counting the cleats)/35 stealing third baseman was just giving a standing green light.

Just had a person concede. You know how when a pitch leaves a pitcher's hand sometimes they know it's gone? I knew the game was over as soon as he threw the last pitch, here's why:

I have a weird kind of strategy where I play directional hitting the first time through the line up so I can turn my hand eye coordination off and just focus on if the pitcher is following a pattern. If I see a pattern, I turn zone on. Anyway, first time through the line-up, guy has no problems. He walks a dude and I force a couple of other 3 ball counts, but between my pop-outs and easy grounders the first time through the line-up is easy. Then he beans my pitcher. Zone hitting goes on. Next two hitters: line drive single and a hard line out. First pitch to the third hitter is a 3 run line drive homerun at the Polo Grounds. That is frustrating. The very next pitch is a fastball smack dab in the middle of my hit zone. I bomb it to the left-center corner for an easy inside-the-parker.

2 pitches and game goes from 0-0 to 4-0 and both are partially due to park quirks. Simple recipe for a concede.

I loving hate this game sometimes. In 3 games against the CPU I have a combined score of 21-3 and I lost twice.

The last game I have up one hit and lost. I struck out 3 times in the game. All three looking at pitches out of the zone.

What a loving joke.

Edit: Sinkers for the CPU are straight up cheating. Guess right, see it's not knee high, swing, pound it into the ground anyway.
