How often do you play?

[Gantry]

Quite possibly the least used sub in RBI.

Drove an hour last weekend to play 33 games with my brother and going back again this Sunday for just a day to play more.  I think I have a problem.  Do they have RBI addict meetings???  My wife thinks I'm crazy.

[TβG]

surprisingly, i have davidson ranked outside the bottom five overall (he's like 113-114 for watchgames). That bottom five list happens to include all starters, even two leadoff men.

[nomaaa]

i had no idea who davidson was

[Brookensrules!]

i had no idea who davidson was

so you don't play RBI baseball then I take it. 

[nomaaa]

not with minnesota, that's for sure

[Metal King]

Just finished with St. Louis. It's FUCKING hard to hit a homer with Ozzie Smith, I must've been swinging wrong..... The STL bats clash with the dirt around home plate too so it's harder to see, that's why I love using Detroit.....all black.

My list is up to 7 guys who I never homered with this time around:

Barrett
Davidson
Santana
Backman
Mazzilli
Oquendo
O. Smith

Seemed like everything Ozzie or Mazzilli hit, immediately dropped to the ground, even popups & fly balls. Maybe it's the double-Z factor......

Oh yeah, I won two games using Houston, scoring 22 runs each time (no shutouts though).

LOL oh yeah, Tommy "The Terrible" Herr got me a homer in his very first AB, vs. California, went about 1/2 way up in the crowd in the RF seats.  Jack Clark got me one just right after, guess he didn't wanna get shown up by a guy who almost completely sucks.....

I love this game.

Haven't played a real game since the Tribune article.  I'm sure that'll change once the "semi-regular" chicago games start.

[Gantry]

We'll get those games going, it will have to be after March and the NCAAs.  Starting spring though, I'm ready so bump this thread to remind me

[Metal King]

Well I finished my seasons, I had 9 guys who didn't homer, but I'm playing full seasons again for the teams/players who didn't, so I finally hit homers with Barrett, Davidson, and Mazzilli so far.

6 guys to go:

Santana, Backman, OSmith, Oquendo, Galarraga, Pedrique.

Nope I didn't hit one with Andres "The Giant" Galarraga.  It says he's a pretty good player on the team bios page, I think he and Mike Schmidt are mixed up, no way is Schmidt the worst on the team!!!!!

Jose Uribe got me a homer in his final AB, score was 20-10 vs. the NL All-Stars in the top of the 9th, he made it 22-10, I won 22-11.

I found interesting RBI stats the other day when I was looking through my old RBI papers & stuff.  I won a game by 38-1 over St. Louis (their only run was a homer), using the American All-Stars and I scored 35 runs in the 3rd inning!  I have the other stats, I just don't have the paper with me, I was like whoa, did I really do that.... heh heh.

I'm serious, it must be true if it's all written down.....

Galarraga's nickname was "the cat"

[Gantry]

Wasn't it The Big Cat?

[TβG]

now it's "teh big cat" in keeping with the times.

[Gantry]

lol

[Brookensrules!]

Wasn't it The Big Cat?

whatever, it sure wasn't Andre the Giant.

Dude, Metal King...Mazzilli hit a pinch hit slam off Bert Blyleven a while back when I used him.

Mazzilli is so clutch. I'd go as far as to say he's top 5 RBI Bench material. He's no Rob Wilfong or Ruppert Jones, but Maz is the Man.

[Metal King]

Yeah I know he's the "Big Cat," I'm just thinking up other possible nicknames.

Actually he does suck, I was wrong, but I still don't think it's correct to say Mike Schmidt is "easily the worst player on this stellar team."

I love the player bios though, I"m always reading them.

I hit one to dead-center field with Mazz my last "season." right into the scoreboard.  He never got close to a homerun for me before that.

Too bad there are no active RBIers left on this game. On RBI 2 & 3 there still are a few.

[Metal King]

I'm in like my 5th full season using New York and National.  Still need a homer from Santana and Pedrique, that's it.

It's still fun smashing homers though, that'll never get boring.

My best game using NY in a recent season was against Boston. I started McDowell and he went 10 innings and I beat the Sox 18-15 IN 10 innings.
