to the guy i was just playing in Ranked Seasons. First time I've ever dashboarded during a game.
Game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th i think. he has 1 on 1 out. Routine grounder to chipper at third, which he bobbles. didn't even have to move type of grounder. no double play. next guy up pulls a down and away sinker, just off the corner of the plate over the Left Center wall with AS Escobar for 3 run bomb...that's some BS.
I'm going to work on "gittin good" more, but there's no way that should happen. I'll be back later tonight of course b/c i have nothing else to do after my 18 holes.

Things like this should come with a 72 hr ban
-
so should comments like that

This happens way too often not to be scripted in some way. Right after an error late in the game, 2 run bombs coming!

Intentionally walk the next batter after the error. They can't hit a 2-run bomb if there are already 2 men on base.

So in one breath you’re being contrite and apologizing for some egregious toxic behavior and in the next breath you defend the same behavior that you were just apologizing for. Seems to me to be an empty apology. Btw errors happen, for example. Chipper Jones once threw a ball five feet over the first baseman’s head. It was the bottom of the ninth and two were out. To make matters even worse it was a division title clinching play. It cost the Braves the division and pushed them to the wild card. They would eventually lose that wild card game to Giants. So even all time greats make errors irl. It’s baseball and with plays like that come the momentum shifts. But I digress. Either way, if you’re going to apologize don’t add a BUT to it. Just cheapens the sentiment.

You have to be careful after an error or very late base hit. It seems to give your opponent a bomb more often than not.
Most recent memory I have of this the other day I was playing some guy that was very late on every fastball and he gets a very late oppo blooper off the hands. Next pitch perfect bomb on a fastball over the middle I located waaay inside and had decent input on.
Next pitch I throw a fastball again and of course he is very late haha.
Seems a little fishy.

Two things that indicate impending homerun:
- A poopy base hit
- The indicator your pitcher is tired
-
Chipper Jones made 223 errors in his career. He had a lifetime fielding percentage of .954.
Imagine that — something that happened 223 times just happened before your very eyes.

Unfortunately true, wasn’t the best fielder unless he was barehanding it and throwing on the same motion. Probably the best ever at that play.

Maybe i should have run in a circle first and then tried to dive at it. Lesson learned.

Dashboarding is toxic egregious behavior? Do you mean freezing or timer glitching or something along those lines?

Dashboarding is toxic behavior. People do it for one reason only. To deny their opponent the stat for the at bat. Not sure what timer glitching is, sounds like a cop out to me.

Getting mad and quitting is not toxic egregious behavior. The opponent still gets the win. It is a minor inconvenience when they dashboard before the ball lands and you don’t get credit for the Homerun.
Intentionally freezing the game or whatever people do to steal wins would be classified as toxic egregious behavior.

It happens often, but “scripted” is a leap; I’d say more likely some combination of all these 100+ clutch hitters playing off things like pitcher confidence, hr/9, pitcher clutch, etc.
Would be cool to get some information on those mechanics questions that have been floating around these parts, ignored, for a few weeks now…

Which game are you referring to? I don't ever remember chipper making an error like that. Closest one was probably the wild card game again the Cardinals. But that was in the middle innings and to 2nd base.
