Oh and my longest game I've actually watched was 21 innings.

I had a triple play–in the first inning of a playoff game no less. And the closest I've seen to a no-hitter was game 7 of the ALCS– 8 1/3 no hit (the first 7 perfect) from Chris Sale.
ETA: Oh, and a hidden ball trick after a game tying triple, also in the playoffs. Some kind of weird playoff mojo for sure. Last edited by IStillDream; 11-23-2016 at 12:06 AM. |

Oh, and I saw Blake Swihart double in 3 consecutive at bats–and tear a ligament on the third one.

Just had a game in my 1933 historical replay where Washington scored 28 runs on 30 hits.

One thing ive never seen and I hope its in the game soon is a wild pitch where the catch throws to the pitcher covering home and the runner is OUT.

In back-to-back seasons, my season came to an end (final game of regular season the first time, Game 7 NLCS the second) in extra-inning games in which my team ran out of position players. The first time, I lost in 19 innings in a game I needed to win to force a tiebreaker game for the division title. The following year, I lost that Game 7 in 14 innings in which two position players got hurt in the 13th inning. I finished the game with Zack Wheeler playing first base.

Other things you will never see: Errors where the batter reaches base, but the runners do not advance. An example would be runners on base, but 1st base open. Ground ball to third and the fielder looks the runner back to the bag and fires a ball in the dirt to first that the first baseman stops but does not catch. Batter safe and runners hold. same thing on a pop out with a runner on 2nd and/or 3rd with nobody on first. Batter pops it up on the infield and the runners retreat to their bags, but the fielder muffs it and the batter is safe because he was a good boy and ran it out, but the runners still cannot advance because the ball is right near an infielder. In OOTP the runners always advance on dropped pop ups, which they hardly ever do. That one drives me nuts. A 2-base throwing error by an outfielder will never be seen. Or what would technically be a 1-base error, but where the batter has rounded first and is heading to 2nd when the throw to home goes awry. The batter will be awarded 3rd, because he was on his way to 2nd. But never in OOTP. A runner advancing 2 bases on a wild pitch will never be seen. Or a sacrifice fly with a runner on 2nd. That is very, very rare in real life, but extinct in OOTP. Or a runner getting pegged out trying to advance on a wild pitch will never be seen. I have never seen a pick-off where the runner heads to the next base. In real life, I stole several bases this way. Other runners have been known to get caught in a pickle or just get thrown out at the next base. BTW, this counts as a caught stealing, while being tagged out diving back to the bag does not. I could go on for a while longer, if I thought hard; there is probably something obvious that I am forgetting. But there is one last thing you will never see in OOTP and that is a squeeze bunt with 2 strikes on the batter. And I am okay with that one, because only one idiot manager ever called that one in real life (that I know of, and I think I would remember it if I had seen it before). Oh, I thought of one more: An error on a DP try. Say the batter grounds a ball to short with a runner on 1st and less that two outs. The shortstop throws the ball to 2nd where they get the force, but then the second baseman throws the ball into the dugout on the pivot and the batter ends up on 2nd. You will never see that one in OOTP, or at least I never have. |

Yeah I agree that you don't see a lot of those or some of them you see too often. I just wanted to point out that I had seen that rare DP of 5-3.

While not directly affecting the gameplay, the broadcast mode indicated that a streaker came out of the stands and was clocked by the first-base umpire. Added bonus: the game was in 1907, long before the streaking era. Wish I had a screenshot of it.

Maybe it was a woman and she was an extreme suffragette protester

I've had 2 inside the park HR's .. I missed the first one because as the ball went to the wall I figured it was a double or a triple so I left my computer to go do something.. when I got back I advanced to the next batter and wondered what happened to the guy on base because he wasn't there. I figured he got thrown out trying for an extra base. I went back to the last pbp and sure enough he went all the way around. |

A fictional player get 4000 or more hits over their career. I've seen it using actual players, and one or two I've created myself, but never a fully fictional player.
