Too cool not to post

acclaim99 · 07-14-2020, 12:16 AM

My brother just did this as I was watching. Free agent from Cuba signed in 2022. In 2029, in the National League championship, threw a no hitter (first batter of the game, reached on a past ball, got the next 27 out in a row) then in the world series followed that game up with a perfect game.

With that being said. I'd like to draw attention to this post I made on the general forum:

Its about acclaim99 (Jay) if anyone could help us out a little, it would mean the world. Thank you.

I've played for years, but I've never thrown a no-hitter in the playoffs, let alone two in a row

I don’t care how cool it is.
Taking a picture of your screen with your phone and then uploading it makes my eyes bleed.

Everyone should learn how to take a proper screenshot of their PC or Mac screen.

Thanks, I got a lot more issues than your eyes. Like a dying brother.

This was the quickest way for me. I could have done a screen shot then uploaded it, but this was easier for me.

I'm surprised it is faster for you to upload it as a pic from your phone. I would screenshot it from my computer simply because it is easier.

I use my print screen button on my keyboard, then paste it into windows paint, do a little cropping, save it, and upload it here.

Personally, I didn't mind how you presented the image.

Don't know what that means. Why are there so many cryptic posts like this?

F12 is the default screenshot button for steam.

He is assuming that the reader has the game on steam though.

I prefer to use my printscreen button and MS paint, because it is easier for me. Plus, if I want to edit the screenshot, I'm already in paint (the thinking man's photoshop)

I prefer to use my printscreen button and MS paint, because it is still easier for me.

I like the snipping tool, myself. To find it in Windows, type "s" in the search box on the task bar. The advantage of the snipping tool is it is easy to screenshot that small portion of the screen that is relevant.

Not just steam. Windows version too.

That's interesting. I'm going to try it.

Edit: Just did. It eliminates a step, so I'll probably use this method in the future

That is cool. Never seen something like that in my leagues either.

Thanks for posting.

My thoughts for your family. Quality time with him is a special time.

OK, someone needs to do the math to figure out what has a lower probability of happening...the back to back No-No's (with the tail end being a Perfecto) or the Bengie Molina cycle (https://www.mlb.com/news/bengie-molina-s-unlikely-cycle). The Athletic had an awesome article with all the math on the Molina cycle if anyone has a subscription and wants to geek out.
