What's your RBI trademark move that you always do in the game?

My personal fav while playing my cousin (doesn't exactly work against the computer)...is trying to catch him steeling by fake hitting the buttons so he thinks i'm going to pitch the ball and takes off...i like to do it about 2 times every at bat...

yeah his fake pitch move always gets me.....I like to steal a lot of bases :).  My favorite move is when I throw a runner out at first and there is no one else on base I take the 1st baseman and make him run towards 3rd base.  I then throw the ball to 1st and theres no one there so it goes into the outfield and the play ends.  It really doesn't do anything but I just like doing it for some reason.

hahahaha
you've been doing that against me for years!!!
love that move

A few of us like to do that "wall job" after the out, though it pisses off some people.  It does add to your errors though, which makes it semi-fun...

My fav move is the Tettleton (aka check-swing) homer with Davidson.  I've only done it twice but it's oh-so-sweet when I pull it off...

sucka free

definitly turning two with no one on base....and seeing how many errors you can commit in one game

My trademark move is somewhat sadistic...if that's possible in RBI.  Let me preface my trademark by saying that there's nothing on this Earth that I find more amusing than seeing someone take a good square shot to the groin.  That being said, my trademark move is on a high, pop foul ball that I know I have no chance of catching...I'll take my first or third baseman (depending on where the ball is hit) and move him a little behind the umpire, normally off to the right side.  When the ball is called foul, given the two-dimensional nature of the game and the short stature of our players, it looks like the ump punches the player in the nuts!!!  It's hilarious to me when I can pull it off, but it's a more difficult move than you might think.  If you stand too close to the ump, his arm disappears, making it look more like he stuck his whole arm up the players ass...and that's just not funny...hell, I wouldn't even do that to Glenn Davis!!!!  If you try this move, please try to be careful not to let the ump give your player the sock puppet treatment (hand up the butt), but take joy in seeing your favorite first or third baseman become an instant candidate for the grand prize on America's Funniest Videos by making him take an unassuming groin shot.   I'll leave you with a thought from our favorite TV dad, Homer Simpson:

               The groin shot is funny on so many levels!

sucka free

I do a molest-the-ump play on foul balls, by moving my defender all around the area he is occupying.  I'm not even sure why I do it, but 3-4 times a game minimum...

Pretty stupid now that I think about it...

Good call...I've been known to do that from time to time also...especailly after a bad call it's nice to trample the ump.  I'm not sure why I do that stuff either.  Nothing like a little self-amusement, I guess :)

I like to dive with the shortstop and the quick long throw to first base for the out

or the through the wall homerun to left field
