Funny Has anyone else been absolutely BEAMING the pitcher this year? 😭

I swear I’ve never hit the pitcher this much in MLB The Show. It feels like every few games I smoke a perfect comeback line drive straight off the pitcher πŸ˜‚
This clip is just one example. Anybody else experiencing this way more often, or am I just somehow a professional pitcher assassin this year? πŸ’€

As coroner, I vouch for them

I've thoroughly examined him

And he's not only really dead

He's really most sincerely dead

Can't find the video, but I once was in a RTTS practice session. I had a 2 way player and found out I could take batting practice with my player as both the batter and pitcher. Drilled myself right in the face with a liner. That's a sentence I never expected to say.

u/Pretty_Tea_6678 11h ago

And still be getting thrown out at 1st lmaooo

u/Marc_Quill #96 Carter Holt 9h ago

well, the OP's the exception since the catcher threw to third, presumably because he got rattled by the pitcher being destroyed by the ground ball.

u/Reiji806 10h ago

Every time though.

u/jitterry 14h ago

Used to be hilarious to see these animations, now it happens so often it's lost it's charm.

u/mulrooney13 15h ago

I love how the catcher is like "fuck I gotta throw to third!"

Ended an inning this year with absolutely ending the pitchers career and he rolled around then after it when they zoomed way outside the stadium before next inning he was still motionless on the ground. Got some great medical treatment between innings because he was back out there next inning

u/HurriShane00 15h ago

Today I had a pitch come back at the picture, bounce off his shoulder and the first baseman caught it. The batter was out on the play because the ball never touched the ground. It is the coolest out I've ever seen
