So, I'm playing as the Red Sox against the Astros. I'm ahead 2-1 going into the 8th, and Altuve hits a home run to tie it, then they score 7 against me in the 9th. Totally scripted.
Then I decide to play as the Braves against the Dodgers. I'm ahead 5-2 going into the bottom of the 8th, I throw a pitch 12 inches above the strike zone, and Bellinger (he of a .165 regular season average) hits a 3-run bomb to tie it. They go on to beat me 6-5.
C'mon SDS. Totally scripted. I'm tired of this.

Don't get me started on Walker Bueler Dotting a cutter on the inside corner where I couldn't even reach it with my PCI while batting with Joc Peterson. Luckily the ump called it a ball. Then I rip an RBI Single.

I guess real games are also scripted. Man up and realize you chocked and take off the tin foil hat

Belli is really good at hitting bombs on fastballs that are on the upper third or above the strike zone. Throw inside.

Marcus Stroman said on Twitter that you have to pitch both lineups inside & that they feast on everything else....

Humor is missed on so many of you.

This is both funny and on point. SDS has ruined the actual game of baseball AND video game baseball with MLB the Show 21. Worst company ever

I hate how Manfred is trying to justify scripting in-game by doing it in real life.

Analytics ruined the actual game of baseball. Game is boring with only HR, K or BB. '15 Royals were fun to watch. Very few HR's and K's. They put the ball in play a lot.

I mean... I really thought most folks would have seen the humor in it... great to see you're still out here, though!

OP, funny post. Took me a minute to realize it wasn't normal complaining!

Not really. From this MLB article:
"Just watch where Bellinger has to reach to get to the pitch, which sizzled in above the strike zone. According to Statcast, Jackson’s fastball was 4.12 feet high. The only time Bellinger had homered off a higher pitch was in his 11th MLB game, on May 6, 2017, at San Diego (4.17 feet). Since then, Bellinger has clubbed 136 home runs, including the postseason, and none came off a pitch that was within five inches of this one in terms of height.
...
What makes Bellinger’s clutch big fly all the more notable is that it came against a 95.6 mph four-seamer from Jackson. Bellinger had a tough regular season in a lot of ways, but one of his biggest issues was dealing with high velocity. Among 252 hitters who had at least 50 plate appearances end on 95-plus mph heat, Bellinger was tied for the ninth-lowest batting average at .143 (8-for-56), and he slugged just .250 with one homer and 27 strikeouts."Check out the entire article...good read!
