Two-out rallies

phenom · 07-06-2009, 12:04 PM

I just finished the 1949 season as the Brooklyn Dodgers, losing to the Red Sox in the World Series 4 games to 2, getting a season score of 49 (!) in the process.

I played out every single game - approximately 50 of them in OOTP9 (in which I didn't notice the issue) and the balance in OOTP X (in which I did). Anyway, I understand it's very possible I'm fabricating an issue that isn't really there, but I was the victim of two-out, nobody-on rallies probably once every other game on average, and late in the season it seemed every single game challenged me with a scenario similar to the following:

Two outs, nobody on.
Single
Single
Walk
Double
Home Run
Third out.

Maybe I'm the only one noticing this, in which case this is more of a

than a question. Maybe somebody will validate my sanity and concur. Either way...

I've played out quite a few games with X and have not noticed anything like what you describe and I definately would notice if it happened very often.

It seems to me that there are an awful lot of big innings in both 9 and X but in my games they don't start with 2 outs very often.

How is this possible?!? Armando Benitez didn't pitch in 1949.

Who's your closer? Éric Gagné?
