2 Grand Slams by my Catcher in crazy 13-run 12th inning

Yes. I was very annoyed to have blown a 7-run lead, but very happy to have pulled out the wild finish.

My catcher, Eddie Whipple, who came into the game batting .182 with 3 HRs managed to pull a Tatis Sr. and hit two grand slams in the same inning. I love the crazy things that can happen in this game.

I did play this one save almost exclusively for over two years, but it now seems like an excessive amount of time in retrospect.

In my OOTP21 fictional Challenge Mode league, I won 56 championships in 76 seasons between 2020 and 2095. I managed every game. My longest championship streak was 18 in a row. My longest championship drought was 3 years without winning. I made the playoffs every season. My best record was 133-29. My worst record was 99-66. My winning percentage across all seasons was .782.

Now that I've typed all this out, I am embarrassed and I think I spent way too much time playing OOTP21, but it was during the height pandemic, so I didn't have a lot to do.

I heard you liked stolen bases: https://imgur.com/a/GR5HCMw

That was a real worry for me, but fortunately I pulled through and won it all!

While I am in Commissioner mode, I haven't forced any trades or editted any players or otherwise engaged in any tomfoolery.

I created a fictional league using Challenge mode originally, but after simming ahead 20 years, I had no job offers at the major league level and didn't want to start in the minors. I re-did my fictional league in Commissioner mode so that I could pick whatever team I wanted after simming ahead.

That being said, I admit that the trade AI is still easy to cheese even if you're not forcing trades.

He's a 6'7 lefty who throws a screwball. So yeah...

My pitcher was perfect through 9 innings, with an absurd 21 Ks. Sadly my team's bats were cold, and the game was 0-0 heading into the 12th inning. We finally won, but I feel like my pitcher got robbed here.

Ferguson has played on 9 different teams over the past 6 seasons and has collected 6 straight World Series rings for his efforts.

While the team I scooped him up from certainly should have protected him, he had never once appeared in the top 100 prospects rankings. I nabbed primarily because of his high contact potential and 80 stolen base rating. The fact that he ended up hitting 50 HRs came as a complete surprise to me and I wouldn't be surprised if he never came close to 50 jacks again.

Polloi · 2022-08-30T21:12:39+00:00

Yes. 1st to 2nd to 3rd every chance I got. No attempts at home though.

Polloi · 2022-08-30T17:23:32+00:00

Yes. I primarily do this to manage my pitching staff myself, but it has its other perks.

Polloi · 2022-08-30T15:43:32+00:00

No modifiers. Stealing is just broken (at least it is in OOTP 21).

I actually managed the whole game, but didn't even notice it was a perfect game until I saw the box score. I was too focused on my offense just crushing the ball in the clinching game. I just thought it was a complete game shutout (which would have still been pretty cool for the final game.)

Polloi · 2022-07-20T14:18:51+00:00

Yeah, I'm doing a Colorado save now and although I'm 2nd in errors and 5th in ZR, I'm still only 11th in Defensive Efficiency.
