6 HR's in a row!

Vezna31 · 05-26-2008, 09:48 PM

I knew 4 HR's in a row was rare, but when my team hit 5 straight solo shots, I had to take a screen shot to post. Then after getting the pic saved, I went back to the game because I just had a feeling it could be 6 considering the next guy up had power even though he hadn't played much this season. BANG! 6 solo HR's in a row. I'm sure many of you have not seen this. I just wanted to share.

To make it worse, the opposing pitcher recorded the 3rd out and sustained an injury. Maybe that was his reason for serving up meatballs in the first inning.

Bishop · 05-26-2008, 09:54 PM

Man, whatever that guy did before the game, I hope he spreads around to everyone else to AVOID!

Judging by your avatar, your entire squad is probably on anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.

What ever happen to Mark Mcgwire?

I'll have to make sure the OOTP 9 option for drug use suspensions is "OFF" so that my entire team isn't suspended.

Chose to be very private and has faded into obscurity.

That avatar was mine long before he went before Congress and made himself look guilty. But he was the reason that I got back into baseball after the '94 strike.

He gives hitting lessons to players. I know a few Cardinals went for visits in the off season.

That's pretty cool, as long as he doesn't give them access to his medicine cabinet.

What a difference 10 years makes.

Kelric · 05-27-2008, 12:46 AM

I've never seen more than 3 in a row in OOTP. I did manage to see (on tv, sadly) the Red Sox hit 4 in a row against the Yankees recently. That was fun.

His Own Bad Self · 05-27-2008, 03:10 AM

Wait, and the AI left the pitcher in for all six batters?!?

Chan Ho "Out of the" Park would be proud.

Yeah, Park allowed 2 grand slams in 1 inning TO THE SAME HITTER (Tatis)... that was fun

Left-handed Badger · 05-27-2008, 04:16 AM

I dont think I have ever seen more than 2 in a row on OOTP.

And I think the pitcher on that OOTP game after giving up 6 HRs was just "faking" the injury.

Holy cow! what are the odds of this ever happening again !!??

ootp3to6 · 05-27-2008, 08:42 AM

Unbelievable. I don't think that will ever be tied or broken.

I lived in Cardinals territory at the time, and was watching that game. It's something I'll never forget. I still can't believe it happened.

Now I'm lucky if I get to see ten regular season Cardinals games.

Earl should have pitched for the Camden County Criminals.

ramairluvr · 06-01-2008, 11:55 PM

That computer pitcher Kang sucks. Do him a favor and retire him.

Vezna31 · 06-02-2008, 12:08 AM

Bu-wei Kang finished the 1935 season with a record of 9-13, 5.73 ERA. In 185 IP, he gave 50 HR's. He has started out 1936 with a 2-0 record with a 3.07 ERA and has only given up 2 HR's in 14.2 innings.

Bears5122 · 06-02-2008, 12:11 AM

I've had 3 homers in a row and seen one guy hit two homers in an inning. That's the extent of my accomplishments. :-)
