yeah...sorry, rors, but...playing 5 innings and seeing MAYBE 3 strikes total gets boring. it seems like every pitch was either a sinker below the strike zone, or a fastball so far out to the right htat it was a wild pitch 99.9% of the time. I didn't get the game and join the league to sit and put hte controller down, turn the tv,and just take numerous balls because it's all that was being thrown.
3 strikes total? 43 strikes by Lowe by the end of the 7th and the score was 5 zip me. I threw a lot of sinkers with Lowe because guess what THAT'S WHAT HE DOES IN RL. I didn't only throw sinkers, though. I switched it up. Whatever. Oh, and you trying to bean my hitters? Good times. Disconnecting is great to save some face too, I guess.BirdBomb said:

you quit in the middle of a league game because someone was throwing too many balls?
no offense dude but you're done in the mlb league. i think people will put up with a lot of transgressions, but quitting on purpose because you are getting BALLS THROWN!? ridiculous. i'm taking over the reds for the time being. if we find a new player to use them then so be it.

honestly that is the most bush league thing you could ever do. it's one thing to bitch. i don't think anyone cares about that. i felt like bitching after i lost to 50 when things didn't go my way, but to quit is direspectful to your opponent and the entire league. this league isn't free. it costs money to have the luxury of an online league, and miguel has put a lot of time and effort into getting the league up and running. to disregard that over balls and strikes is a joke. don't bother showing up for the madden tournament either, i don't want that kind of shit popping up in a tournament

This league is done for if you're going to play games like that, DM. You're not a bad player...but when you choose to give up and keep Moyer in for 9 innings and pitch junk balls, it doesn't just make the game boring for us, but it totally ruins any hope of the league being 'sim' and stats mattering. What's the point in even having a league (and keeping track of stats) if people give up. No one ever gave up like that in Madden
30-1
That was the score.
That's like playing a madden league game, and goofing off to the point that it's 150-7 for the other guy. Ridiculous.

Uncalled for Dm,you want to go the way of Birdbomb?!
This is pretty depressing,I really thought this would be a madden type baseball league cause all the players from madden were legit and followed the rules.The stats were bad enough after I faced Birdbomb,but atleast he used his pen and didnt keep in a tired pitcher for the whole game,he couldnt help the fact he sucked with every pitcher.The whole quitting thing he did is worse than what Dm just did,but dm has come pretty close to matching it.
Some of you might not care for baseball as much as Football,but for some of us its just as important to keep this a sim league as it was for Fmt to keep his Madden leagues sim.
ugh >_<
I'm not liking this one bit.
If you guys are going to give up after going down 5-6 runs, then why bother playing?
You'll get blown out at times, some games you'll win 1-0, some games you'll lose 2-1. Did Roger Clemens quit when the Astros were shut out for the 8th time when he gave up 1 run or less?
I really hope this isn't going to be the norm in this league, cause if it is, we might as well be playing Slugfest online.
Ugh.

Konex felt the wrath of Wakefield!
Seriously though,I wouldn't move the cursor from where it starts and the Knuckleball would still go way out of the strikezone at times :lol
We don't need to make people pitch strikes every time,people need to learn not to swing at everything,myself included
Although,I'm considering not using Wakefield anymore,he's completely unpredictable with the break of his knuckleball and it feels cheesy =\

Bullshit, Rors and I have played 3 games where we score anywhere from 3-10 runs per game, and we pitch in the strike zone, out of the strike zone, we mix it up.
Lowe's signature pitch is a sinker that dives out of the strike zone at the last minute.
Oswalt's signature pitch is a curveball that falls off the table while the batter thinks it's going to be about waist high.
Lidge's slider's in the dirt have made him highly effective up until this year.
Don't be swing happy and swing at everything (myself included!) I'm very agressive and I strike out a ton, but there are some games where I'll force myself to take pitches so I can see 1) how much I'll have to wait on certain pitches, and 2) where a pitch will start/break/end, and adjust accordingly.
If everything were in the strike zone, Rors and I would have scored about 40 in our first game.
I tried to give DM tips after his 4-1 loss on how to control wild pitches (beyond saying don't hold one direction too far I didn't have many)....we had a good game..but I just can't explain this. Obviously he didn't care....but that ruins the league for everyone when that happens.
Maybe it's because people aren't used to baseball games
Maybe it's because it's a slower paced game and it seems harder to overcome bad innings
I mean, DM, you entered in all your stats...you care about the league that much. just don't pitch batting practice balls all game and change your damn pitcher. you're not bad.

I pwned my friend once with him, he was like "WHAT THE FUCK" after I threw a 93mph fastball on the first pitch, I think another fastball on the 2nd pitch...
Third pitch was his knuckle curve...:lol
He pushed me off my chair after that
:lol
well played by your friend

guys come on that is ridiculous. stop playing kobe ball and giving up because you're down. play the game, take your 7-0 beating or whatever, and then complain that the computer/lag/etc cheated you out of a win. but giving up 30 runs pretty much on purpose is a joke. why bother having a league at all if that shit is going to fly?
