Charging the Mound/Bench Clearing Brawls

geneparmesan · 03-21-2010, 05:15 PM

Is there any way to incite this in game? I'm running a sim league through OOTP 10 and thought it would be fun to shake things up with a bench clearing brawl.

Basically no.

Hit batters will sometimes get into fights with pitchers, which results in both of them getting thrown out of the game, plus likely suspensions.

Some PbP text alluding to bench players piling onto the field might show up in the game some day, but it would just be amusing text. A real brawl with possibly multiple players suffering consequences would require some significant programming.

X% of players on roster get Y% chance of injury followed by Z chance of suspension. It would just take some tweaking to get the numbers right, since brawls don't happen much these days. Sure, a guy will charge the mound and maybe one or two punches get thrown but most of the time teams are just trying to break things up. You don't see a lot of Fisk/Piniella/Lee/Nettles-type fracases these days.
