Fantasy RBI Arcade Game thread. Rebooted from 2018

Blue Foot Boobies now dubbed Kardiac Kids with penchant for late inning heroics. Down 14-13, Blue Foots get GWHR from Orlando Cepeda, also his third of the game. Cepeda's RBI tally at 8.Blue Foots now on 3-game winning streak and tied for 1st place with the Hulksters, but in 2nd by tiebreaker.

Sides Of Beef now at risk of missing playoffs with 4th straight loss. RBI analysts suggest back-to-back extra inning losses devastated psyche of team.

Mike Scott steals the day, deals 13H/5R CG masterpiece as Hulk Hogans regain first place. Scott's impeccable location and change of speeds kept Purple Reign defensive at the plate. DJohnsn carries offense with 3 HR/8RBI.

Purple Reign now on 3-game skid, tied for WildCard playoff spot and in risk of missing playoffs.

Game time is at 3pm as mentioned on the last page - schedule is also found on the last page.

I sort of figured out Twitch. I did manage to run a test stream and fit the emulator in the Twitch screen, but now I don't remember how I did that - so back to work on  that. We'll go live, but expect a cluster fuck to happen. After the live stream, I'll do as I normally do and post all the recorded games from YouTube about 75 minutes after the slate is done. Well, back to this learning process and hopefully the live stream will be a success today!

Here is my Twitch channel so you guys or guy can tune in at 3pm Dee Nee time:

you need to figure out how to make the emulator fulfill screen instead of streaming the editor window

do you have an LCD monitor? i suggest plugging one into your laptop and using it as a second screen

No LCD monitor. I actually can go full screen through the window capture in the source box. Game capture I might be able to do, but haven't tested to see if the emulator only shows if I change windows such as go to a chrome tab or in my folders. Window capture follows every little step I take fro what I saw when I ran a test stream and watched it live on my phone. Sleeves are rolled up right now and will run a couple more test live streams so I can get a good handle on this and have it down unconsciously. I got about 2 hours left to command this mofo before we go Twitch live. I put up the scheduled time on my Twitch account.

Week 15 - our boys of summer.

There was a 8 minute delay while live on Twitch. Sorry about that. I changed a setting in the emulator and it screwed everything big time. Got the issue fixed after 8 minutes! Also, the Steely Dans-U7 game is split into two videos because while streaming live on Twitch, I tried to go big screen on the emulator and the recording stopped once I did that. I have to keep it minimized to fit into the Twitch screen ... growing pains with this new platform for me. Otherwise, Twitch was a success and we even had some in-game small comments during the games. Thanks for watching guys!

Can you possibly not have the screen captures show the scores in the middle of the game? It kind of ruins the drama of the first few innings (you can choose which screenshot is used in the video settings, I think).

Also: YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!

You got it! I was aware of choosing among screenshots, and when all screen shots have scores, I just chose the one with a tight score. Before I used a fixed screenshot of the opening screen when the rom starts, so I'll do that if all I get are scores for screenshots - may bad amigo and holy shit your boys are rolling! LET'S WIN THE WHOLE GOD DAMN THING!!"!111


The Empire got divine intervention from the Force - hand of God! It was that consecutive walk glitch that we saw in the Super RBI league and it happened to the same pitcher again - Valenzuela! Last time, he walked 8 straight batters and that led to an Old Stylers win over Ryno's Pabst Blue Ribbons. This time around, I think we were up by one or the game was tied, and Fernando walked 10 straight batters, lol! I moved the cursor around to try and stop it, but didn't help. Fortunately some idiot swung and broke the stream of balls. I believe both teams it happened came after a pinch hitter was inserted, then Fernando came in the game and he just threw the same pitch, far inside, forever. Seriously, sucks to see that happen to anyone, but I'm just glad it didn't to the Empire - the Force was with us! Nomaaa has to be devastated!

So the last three slates, weeks 16-18, will decide a lot with many key games to decide first round byes, and of course who gets the last 8th wildcard spot for the play-in format. Wide open right now! Some ugly losing streaks going for Beef and Nacho. Fighton gained a game on the teams he needs to gain a game. U7 put themselves in a good position to clinch a playoff spot.

That string of walks glitch though! It happened again and to the same pitcher! The game was tied in the 8th ... man, you must have been pissed being struck with bad luck. Hand of god blessed the Empire! It was a great game until that glitch. Sucks to win that way, but we'll take it!

How are there first round byes when eight teams make the playoffs?

[Darky]

How are there first round byes when eight teams make the playoffs?

#1 & #2 automatically advance to the final four.
#3 & #4 automatically advance to qtr finals (#1 & #2 still get byes)
#8 & #7 will have a one game playoff and that is the wildcard round of the playoffs ... or play-in. 1-game do-or-die game. Higher seed chooses home or away.
The winner of #8 & #7 play #6 in a 1-game playoff. The winner of #7 & #6 advance to the qtr finals as the 6th seed.Higher seed chooses home or away.
Quarter finals: #6 vs #3, #4 vs #5 - five game series. Higher seed chooses home or way.
Semi finals: #1 plays the lower seed from the winner of the games mentioned above. #2 plays the higher seed. 5-game series - higher seed chooses home or away.
FRBI World Series: 7-game series, higher seed chooses home or away.

The play-in round/wildcard round will play live until the 6th seed is determined, i.e., the same day.
Qtr finals, semi finals, and FRBI WS - how many games played on the same day from each series will be determined. I can't blitzkrieg through a series since we need the stats and recaps from the games, so that is up in the air. A playoff thread will be created sooner or later.

Charlie Hustle's go-ahead pinch hit RBI single in the bottom of the 7th ignites the Spiders to 3rd straight victory, now 1 game back for playoff spot. Up 11-9 in the 8th, Spiders rally for 8 runs to run away from a tight contest. Spiders hit an impressive fury of doubles BBonds 2(12), McCovy 4(17), B.Ruth 3(13), Durham 2(11) and triples BBonds 1(3),
Morgan1 (10), LGrove1 (1), to fly around the bases. Swinging Dicks only hit 2 doubles and 0 triples. Lefty Grove picks up save after a flawless 8th and turbulent 9th.

McGwire blasts 2 more HRs to put him 3 behind Mantel (29 HR) for the HR title. McGwire now at 26. Swinging Dicks remain in good position for the playoffs with only the Spiders gaining a game on them.

So many Purple Reign thrown out at the plate.

[Darky]

With game tied 14-14 in the bottom of the 7th, U7 get HR's from Mays, Ott, Horner, & Yaz with a WClark double sandwiched in there. U7 score 2 more in the 8th and hold off a last gasp rally by Steely Dans Revenge. WClark, Horner, & Yaz each collect 5 hits, YBerra drove in 5 runners on a 4-hit day with two doubles.

U7 sit alone in 5th place. Steely Dans in 9th counting run differential tiebreaker: tied at 6-9 with SOB and PR for the Wildcard last playoff spot.

After having 1 hit all season, Spahn had like 4 this last game.

After having 1 hit all season, Spahn had like 4 this last game.

I'm scoring the game right now, and Spahn's rbi single with two outs in the second inning led to a string of hits and 5 runs. Then go look at his infield RBI double in the 5th inning! He hit a super slow rolling ball towards the SS,but the SS covered 3rd and the 3rd baseman wasn't in range to pick up the ball when he was moving forward - the LF finally came in to field the ball and Rabbit managed to zip home and score! It was actually a thing of beauty - the speed game! Pitcher's getting hits are killers at least 80 percent of the time. I am positive teams win 95 percent of the time if their pitchers get 3 hits or more.

So many Purple Reign thrown out at the plate.

Hosed at home in the first inning so far. I do recall a few more happening later in the game from yesterday. Scoring the game now. And now I just saw Winfield get gunned down at home from the RF.

[Darky]

Exposé snap two game skid, tally 40 hits, rake 22 extra basehits, and pull away from Purple Reign. Mantle reaches 30 HR with 2 more, tallying 7 hits and 8 RBI. Billy Williams also gets 7 hits while Reggie also has big day - 6/7, 4 2B, HR. Spahn extends many innings with 5 hit performance from the 9-hole - demoralizes Purple Reign pitchers.

Purple Reign fought back all game, but couldn't keep up with Exposé firepower. 2 runners putout at home and 1 at 3rd base ended potential big innings. Purple Reign extend losing streak to 4. Adcock shines with 5 hits and raises average to .716 - first in the league. 

[Darky]

Hulk Hogans get dominant bullpen pitching and just enough runs after a 5-run 5th to go up 12-9 for the win. MScott(W 6-2)           
Worrel, & Rghtti combine to only allow 6 hits and 1 run in 5 innings from the bullpen. FLynn carries the load with 5/5, 5 RBI & hits for the cycle at the plate. Down 9-7 in the bottom of the 5th, Hulksters unleash array of doubles to go up 12-9 and that's how the score stayed the rest of the way. Mike Scott now #1 in ERA (Guidry #2). Both will start against each other today for week 16.

Sides of Beef lose 5th straight, but remain in 7th place via tiebreaker. Will face Montreal today in a key game for both teams. Sides of Beef struggling on offense after explosive start to the year, now last in the league in average, but tied for #2 in runs.
