Pitcher Homeruns

[T Roogs]

who pitches outside to the pitcher? they can't hit for shit....if there is anyone on base when the 8 man is up, walk him. gauranteed double play with the pitcher. they rarely  hit it out of the outfield.

that guy who reported he hit the lights with a pitcher...that's bullshit. no way that ever happened. how dare you walk into this website and claim such things.

That was doveRBI - he often posts while drunk, and I believe that was the case when he made that post.  He later clarified (possibly in another thread) that he may have remembered the specifics incorrectly, but he was reasonably sure that he hit the HR with Saberhagen.

Bill Madlock is the greatest pinch hitter...on curvy pitching style, which is how I normally play.  On striaght pitch, sure, there are better homer hitters around.  But Madlock is a professional doubles hitter on curvy pitch.  You won't believe this, but I am actually typing this while wearing my gas mask over here.  The Air Force is making us pracitce war.  God I hate wearing this damn thing.

I wonder how Dill is doing???

Oddly enough hit a homer with none other than one of the aces of the Twins pitching staff Frank Viola...can't remember against who though as it was prolly a good 6 or 7 yrs ago. I hear Nolan Ryan's name mentioned quite frequently also.

Lefty pitcher dingers are rare, nice job...

Is this the first self proclaimed instance of a LHP home run?

[Gantry]

I don't think so, but I can't remember who else cliamed one.  I'm thinking Orosco for some reason...

I have played a lot ( and I mean A LOT ) of RBI.  I have hit the wall down the left field line with a pitcher two times.  So I have always assumed a wallzie is possible at least.  One was with Saberhagen and the other was Blyleven.  I will personally not 100% believe it possible till I see it with my own eyes though.

my sentiments exactly

[Attezzobal]

I was just like you, until I hit one off the wall a week or so back with Blyleven (as close to a wallzie as I've ever seen). Now, I believe in the pitcher homerun, and I was so very adamant against the idea before this.

I started a thread about it, but I pretended to be drunk so I rambled and spelled a bunch of words wrong (and a fine job of it I did, I'm sure some people believed I was actually drunk, losers), but that thread never got the fanfare I think it deserved.

[BeeJay]

I think the drunkenness was the key to that thread, as well as every other pitcher home run tale.  I'll also never believe it 'til I see it.

[Attezzobal]

I actually wasn't that drunk when it was hit, and I have three witnesses, of course, it wasn't a pitcher home run, but it also changed my feelings towards it. Goddamn though, we had taped all the games we played from a week ago but were just too lazy to hook the coax back up and tape that night's games.

[erhajj]

I don't believe in pitcher home runs.

That reminds me of the funniest thing I saw whil watching an A's game this year.  When the whitesox were in oakland several fans were dressed as dinosaurs with signs that said, "We don't believe in Carl Everett."

Good stuff.

The dee-nee house will get their pitcher home run and I have a feeling Lipitz will be the first...

The dee-nee house will get their pitcher home run lemon party and I have a feeling Lipitz will be the first receiver...

my 2 cents worth...i have hit a fly ball with a pitcher to roughly an inch or so(human inches, not rbi inches) of the foul pole, and thats the closest i have ever come to seeing a pitcher homer.  never seen a pitcher walzie either.

i did get excited once with BOS cause i forgot who was up and Henderson batting 8th, and lifted one and it kept carrying slowly, slowly and just cleared the wall.....i was about to pause and then run in here to post, then realized it was hendu and not da pitcher.  dah fkn nah.
