By the way, I think that I discovered a new glitch. I won in the bottom half of the inning on a walk off homer and the final score became 4-2. But when the game went to its end game screen the score was shown as 3-2. The homer counted but not the additional run. hmmmm....
Yeah, it always does it that way with walk offs...
didn't some guy from the mets, third baseman, i forget his name...
anyway, didn't he hit a grandslam double in the nlcs the year they lost to the yankees?
Ventura?
Yes, Satan?
In "real" baseball, all runs count in a walk-off HR. In RBI Baseball, they stop counting after the winning run crosses the plate.
What the hell are you guys talking about?
If the runner is fast enough some times he will score on a walk off, but if the winning run is on 2nd or 3rd, generally the hitter doesn't score before the game "ends"

It was Ventura in 99 but that was because he didn't acually run all the way around the bases.
Before 1920 the major leagues used to have a rule such as this and babe ruth actually lost 4 or 5 homers career because of this rule.
Thanks Beej.
this glitch may not be new... but i was just playing with california vs boston and fielded a grounball that the umpire ruled foul. then when i fielded it i got a bop. it charged an error for a foul ball grounder. i hope this doesn't ruin my chance at a perfect game now.

In an actual MLB game, does it count as a perfect game if the pitcher's team commits an error that doesn't result in allowing a runner on base, like dropping a foul popup? I say yes, since the pitcher still retires all 27 batters, but I've heard it defined as "No runs, walks/HBPs, or errors", rather than "27 up, 27 down".

Yes, but this wouldn't be considered an error in real baseball. It was a foul groundball.

I know... I just was wondering what would happen in my hypothetical situation, since it's similar.
A perfect game is a game in which there are zero base runners for any reason. If there is a man on base, then it isn't a perfect game. Retiring the minimum doesn't equal a perfect case in every scenario.
In your scenario with the dropped foul ball, it doesn't count as an error so I don't see how it would be a perfect game, if that batter got on base on the very next pitch.

I realized after I posted that "27 up, 27 down" could be misinterpreted as you did - I meant that no baserunner reaches base, and that the "27 down" occurred one at a time, in each at-bat. Even that probably should've been clarified for the case in which a batter gets a hit but is caught trying to get an extra base.
I'm referring to a dropped foul popup, which does indeed count as an error, because it causes an out not to be made (I'll check the official rules to be sure, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it in a game before). My scenario, though, involved the foul popup being dropped but the batter getting out on a subsequent pitch. I would think that would still be considered a perfect game, even though the pitcher's team committed an error.
Rule 10.13(a): "An error shall be charged against any fielder when he muffs a foul fly, to prolong the time at bat of a batter whether the batter subsequently reaches first base or is put out." (http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/official_info/official_rules/official_scorer_10.jsp)
Muffs
It is an error and it would still be a perfect game

Thanks again stating something as a fact, when it is not
