Most dominant pitching performance ever?

I really don't know how to take the results of this RS game. First, I feel a lot of empathy and respect for my opponent who hung around for 9 innings despite the utter freak-show this match was.

He wasn't a bad or new player. Just got caught in the fiasco this game can, way too often, be. Anything I threw at the plate was unhittable (and I pitched the same way I always do when guys are shelling me).

WoodsRichardson was the pitcher of record. I mean I'm glad I was on the winning end of this one, but it didn't feel right at all. I actually only had 3 hits..2 of them HR's in the 7th.

Thoughts? Anyone else have a RS game spin into complete bizarre like this? And, if so, did you just disconnect or actually hang around to see it through?

Really don't know what you meant by that. Doesn't matter really.

Some people just need the extra attention

I couldn’t imagine that many swings and misses, but like you said, you didn’t put any runs up until 7, so no reason not to hang around till then. Always a chance to get lucky and maybe guy trying to get better. I think most would have stayed till you scored...good on him for finishing.

May I ask on what difficulty this was on? Rating?

I was under the impression difficulty rating in this game is about as meaningful and consistent as a 10-day weather forecast. In fact, it's not an impression it's the voice of years of experience.

So if I said "Regular Season" what would you say? If I said "HoF" how would you reply? 2 ppl playing at the same level..regardless of the level..should create some level of parity. Correct?

Judging by the other topic you created, you’re really just a piece of work aren’t you??

It’s a simple question. The fact that you’re so defensive about it tells me everything I need to know. To your point, no there is no parity in the first RS season because everyone starts at zero. A brand new player in his first year could matchup vs McGunski if it were both their first game...

It was legitimately a simple question and depending on your answer, I would’ve congratulated or I wouldn’t have but you clearly wanted my congratulations regardless I suppose.

Here’s your medal

Let us all acknowledge the greatness of johnny_reb34, for he is the one true King of Pitching!

Yesterday I struck out 17 of the opponents first 18 batters before he quit. Perfect game through 6 innings. Never done that

Well, if that's what you took away from my post..maybe you need to take an analytical reading course.

JJ. Yeah, you're absolutely correct. Enjoy.

And, I wasn't being a Richard. I believe, my opinion..maybe not yours, that it really doesn't make any difference. I say that not to be abrasive, but because I'm pretty jaded by many components of this game.

The whole difficulty level farce is one of my biggest issues. It's an illusion created by a company that has no transparency and wants us all to believe that difficulty levels, skills, reactions, competitive spirit, blah-blah really matter in this game. They don't and I, personally, have a big freaking hang-up with ppl that try to perpetuate that concept. I try, sometimes, to be cool and not fly that particular flag, but sometimes I can't restrain. Sorry.

Gotta admit and I'm sure the majority are the same way. It's pretty cool when you are on the winning side of the AI charity, regardless of how believable (like my 24 K no-hitter). But, there is nothing more irritating than having to watch (because you ain't really playing) the AI flip the parity-coin and decide you are the one that's getting the chef's surprise.

Undoubtedly it's what brings most of us back is getting Black when we bet on black. To use the old Roulette table analogy.

And that is great. Keep up the good work. Maybe this year's offering actually rewards great pitching. Genuinely applaud you on your success.

But, don't be surprised if next time you are the one getting unhittable pitches that just make you want to vomit and throw your awesome PS5 controller through your awesome 60 inch OLED. Ha.

It wasn’t that impressive, he suffered from swingiatis

For some [censored] reason I could not touch Rondon the first time I went up against him. Painfully to say he no hit me. I hung in and tried and made sure to finish the game for him but now when I see him my [censored] just quits lol

I try to play all the way through every game and I've been in several one sided games. 90% of the one sided ones are not in the good guys' favor. I'm almost positive I couldn't have put up with that for more than 5 innings unless I was starting to pickup some type of pattern and felt it could turn around soon. Awesome job though dude. That's pretty incredible.
