Lou Gehrig 4xbasehits

Ok. Tried this just now for the first time and did it lol. Only one thing. I GOT 7 AB TO DO IT!!! My team put up like 22 runs, and after failing in the 8th to get it I got another AB in the 9th to get it done.

Just had the ultimate fail. Got six abs in the game. Three hr in first three at bats. Then two perfect perfect lineouts. Last at bat hit a line drive to left center gap. Center fielder cuts it off but I have a good chance of stretching it to get the double. Off course I’m batting with a guy on first and apparently he decides to wait to make sure it drops and then stops on second. Game over.

I strictly played this yesterday and have seen it all and still have not accomplished it. I had 4 yes 4 perfect fly balls caught at the track (throughout the night) and three were with a power swing!! Like you I had 3 hr and I hit a gapper that the RF dove and off his glove. Easy double if the pitcher wasn’t at 1st. Again with 3 hr in the 9th runners on 1 and 2 I hit a screamer off the wall that the CF leaped for and missed but again the runners only moved 90ft. Then the hardest one to stomach by FAR. I actually hit 3 perfect homers in a row but the rest of the team magically now sucked and we only had 4 runs meaning I scored all the runs that game and will only get 4abs. I was in the zone had three homers it’s the 9th team is losing and I got HIT BY A PITCH!!!!
This all happened yesterday, so yeah I feel ya man.
Just to reiterate Fiers has 41 hr/9 and the reliever usually after him Smith has 50 while Lou has 125 contact and 119 power yet he hits warning track shots for days.

Yea after I while I’m sure I will get lucky and the fourth one will fall in. I have probably had at least a dozen runs with three xbh and I can’t get the fourth to fall in.

I also had one of those way foul balls off into th estands that amazingly bent space and time to come back into play for the 1b to catch it.

Sorry to hear of the misery, but glad to know I’m not alone in the suffering. I’ve lost this mission on HBP, good goods to the track, good good foul balls where it changes your timing feedback after the swing, pop ups with good timing and the ball entirely inside the PCI, and of course so many to just pitchers coming in and throwing 7 straight pitches 6” out of the zone. Eventually you’ll hit one fair by mistake trying to not get walked or hit.

The first pitcher you face in that mission is easy to hit. The next 2 are a little tougher and Trevino was the hardest to me.
I sat middle up, stay away from the low stuff especially with runners on, unless your sure you can get lift on ball. Don't take walks, swing to foul off bad pitches on 3-0 counts.powere swing for eitheer of them? its my last two and figures since I beat showdown, mo, and hrd all. first try
I didn't power swing

Gleyber Torres is too lazy to get from 1st to 3rd. Clearly he doesn’t want to because I make it to 2nd without the need to slide
-
Got Yelich first try. No idea how and it’s hilarious because I had zero success with his card in online play..Gehrigs moment took probably 10 days of trying. Maybe an hour a day. Seriously...
When I finally did get it, I hit 3 bombs, for the 4th laced a double down the line and was so exited I forgot about inverted running controls on moments and held up at first. I almost cried...I think the game felt sorry for me the last AB as I got a cookie down the middle for the no doubter to clinch Gehrig
And....the Gehrig card is sooooo worth the grind.
-
I had everything done for the extreme program except The Yelich & Gehrig moments for awhile. I finally decided to give them a shot last week. worked on the Gehrig moment a couple hours each day & finally got it. The Yelich moment did not take as long as I thought. For both I just sat low in the Zone & Power swung. Love the Lou card, now just need to prestige him lol
-
I just "completed" the Gehrig 4xXBH on only my third try... except that the baserunner on #4 didn't vacate 2nd base on my 'double.' My biggest mistake was not hitting a 3rd HR obviously.
