Robbing homeruns

@BxnnyMxn_ I’ve robbed maybe three home runs in 10 years of playing this game. I’ve got full use of both my hands and I can’t even cover the whole strike zone.

Ahh a kindred spirit lol
I can stand there on a short fence and I always just invariably watch it fly over by an inch. The one time I ever robbed a hr was with Michael Harris and it was a bullet where I was still trying to catch up to the ball when I reached the fence and he literally ran up the fence and caught it over his shoulder it was truly a thing of beauty but it had absolutely zero to do with me lol I was just mashing buttons hoping it would make me run faster and happened to get there at the precise moment. Couldn’t do it again in a hundred years

Well you mashed the right one at the right time. My count is also at one. Two years ago, I think. Difference was, I knew the right button. Just took the first couple years to figure it out what it was. Now I'm just using my disability as an excuse. Dam you thumb!
-
I've robbed 2 earlier on in the game but haven't robbed any since
-
I robbed a HR with Eric Davis in 19 but I cannot recall any since then. A few leaping catches that may not have left the yard along the way however.
-
I've had more robberies diving for sinking liners than HR larceny, personally...probably because for some reason I'm terrible at timing the leap against the wall

I wish you well on your current fight and full recovery for you. Sounds like a horrible injury, but I am glad you have a brave and determined approach to this!My injury was no where close to yours, but I find it striking how much of my physical ability I took for granted in my youthful, healthier years. My distal bicep tendon literally ripped off my elbow radius bone in an auto accident a few years ago. The nerves that run down from the elbow to the wrist/hand are very sensitive. So, my left thumb (pci control) does not always move where, and when, I want it to. I still get this weird tingling in my hand at times and it's very irritating. However, even though I have some issues moving left PCI accurately, I still do better with Zone hitting than using Timing or Directional.
I just had an EMG yesterday, the doctor is trying to figure out if nerve damage is causing me a very intense lower back pain. I wish I was more careful with my body when I was still an athlete and didn’t play through so many injuries.
Can’t even imagine what Freezeoff have gone through, I really hope you get back to 100% very soon @X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN
