game error

[elway41177]

I was playing a game online against BreadInspector and my outfielder threw the ball into the stands. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

[Turd]

Yep, fairly common occurrence. If the ball is by the wall in LF, hit b to run with the ball before throwing it. That will avoid the inside the park HR. 

[Gantry]

Welcome elway!   Turd is right...   Also, you can often find a spot in the wall to run in and get it - typically in a straight horizontal line a little below the ball

I've never done this.
You guys must be horrible at this game.

hey elway, you know how when you go to throw the ball to early and it bops off your guy?  isnt that the worst?

you obviously don't play much RBI.

[Stock]

Sarcasm.  I get it.

hey you know when you tell your kid if they don't have anything nice to say don't say nothing at all???   wow rbi masters sorry if i offended you

[Stock]

You'll learn soon enough that it's expected to bust everyone's chops here.



And to post lots of pictures of naked chicks.

wow, people being dicks to a new poster.  no wonder we get about one new poster a year these days.

[Stock]

I thought it was clean fun.

Also, I was directing my initial post more at Gantry than anyone.

[broiler]

if theres dickery going on i fail to see it

I agree.  I didn't see anything mean at all.

[Turd]

Actually, while people don't exactly roll out the welcome mat here...I dont' think I saw anything above light-hearted grabassing in this thread...most of it was directed at gantry/brookens...

Either way, Elway, it helps to just ignore it...there are some good chaps here and any discussion of the actual game that this website is dedicated to is very much appreciated...

Along the same lines, I believe there's a spot in foul territory in the outfield corner inside the stands that the ball can bounce off of.  It's still a foul, so it doesn't affect gameplay, but I always found it odd, since most balls just disappear into the stands when they go there, rather than bouncing around.

[Stock]

I've caught a ball down the line before at the base of the wall, and the game still gave the batter a wallzie.

i will hold judgement of elway until he answers this question

I don't recall ever seeing this...

[ultimate7]

I've never seen it either.  I have seen a catch made near the dugouts, but the ball was called "Foul" because the umpire thought the ball was out of play

[Gantry]

Yep, that one is somewhat common.   Then we agree, Stock is a filthy liar
