inside the park homer?

[OsamaYoMama]

Ive played at least over 1,000 gms in my RBI career and never hit a legit IPHR!  It can't be done unless there's a player fuck up!

[Ozzie Canseco]

I agree 110%

Alright I have done this against a human with Vince Coleman... this may sound like shitty play, and granted it wasn't his finest moment, but my friend is actually very, very good... what happened was i hit one of those awkward, once-every-100+ games hits, that floats down the rightfield line at the EXACT same speed at which your runner is going down to first... this makes it very difficult to figure out where the ball is going, until vince turned for second... at this point his rightfielder was in-line with the ball, but not in far enough... the ball hit the ground, and took a high hop into foul territory... by the time he ran it down (up against the wall down the 1B line) Vince was at third.. a mediocre throw home was not enough to get Vince at the plate... in my opinion there wasn't anything he could have done to get me, as he played the ball as well as possible... it was hit into a really awkward spot, took a tough bounce, and i had the fastest man in the game cruising around the basepaths... it really isn't as impossible as some may think, although I do feel it HAS to be with vince..

I wrote about this in another thread, but:

Against the computer, you can get an inside-the-park home run with a three-quarters swing bunt; often, it'll roll all the way to the wall, VERY slowly, and the third baseman and left fielder just run past it.

With Vince Coleman and Davy Lopes, I've also seen these hit against the computer when there's a runner on first... The first baseman will be holding the runner, and some obscenely slow grounders can get through. Usually a home run comes when Vince is already about a foot from third base and the idiot right fielder throws to third anyway; by the time another fielder gets his hands on the ball, he's scored long ago.

Oh yeah, there's basically no excuse for an nside-the-park home run if you're playing 2-player.

i agree, you should be hanged naked and whipped to death with a jump rope if you have an IPHR hit against you by the computer/human!!!!!!!!!!


lick my boybutter!

when ever I ever get one its the ole half swing/bunt that gets past the 2nd baseman but is traveling at the same speed as him so since he is always the closest one to the ball he chases it all the way to the wall and even with no wheels Dave Henderson you should be able to get the ITP home run

[capt_taco]

... and even with no wheels Dave Henderson you should be able to get the ITP home run

One question: Why would you ever be bunting with Dave Henderson? That's some real short bus stuff.

probably falls under the fuck up category, but if ya play the computer and bunt the ball down the third base line you can get an inside the parker about one outta ten bunts.  the third baseman covers third and doesnt move, the pitcher chases the ball out in to the outfield because the ball is closest to him the whole time until it hits the wall.  by then the left fielder picks up the ball and throws it in, but by then it's too late....maybe even too late when armas is running.  i'm sure someone pointed this out, but i'm new here....so i dunno...   cya

I would never bunt with the clutch power hitting Henderson but its one of those deals when you don't want to swing and you kind of half tap the button

wow...i'm not going to lick your boybutter, but i didn't know this feature even existed until you made the offer.

[JoeDirt]

Also, there is a way for a legit ITPH, in my opinion...if you give up a bomb to a fast guy (doesn't even have to be Vince) and pull it back...every once in awhile, the guy will still make it around the bases...I know I've had this happen with Gibson before.

[Gantry]

Good point JoeD, but I still have trouble giving credit.  It's not an legit inside the parker if it would be a normal dinger.  In this case, you personally made it an inside the park homer instead of a regular homer.  Perhaps I'm stubborn on this issue...

[OsamaYoMama]

i agree thats a dinger not an IPHR!
