<![CDATA[Manufactured Drama]]>So tired of getting up big only for the other team to score 9 or 10 runs in the 8th or 9th inning to force extra innings. Then I come up with a chance to walk it off only to get walked. So we got more innings. Same thing. Rinse and repeat. I had a dozen games in my last season go to 17 or 18 innings with the game trying to give me a chance to be the hero only to get walked or even worse pop a hanging curveball up to the catcher.
The playoffs are even worse. Everything goes to the final game and the fake drama catch up is even worse.

Lamest example.
I started a second 2 way player SP/SS I’m pitching game 2 od CWS after my team won game 1. I pitch a 1 hitter into the 9 and get pulled after getting 1 out in 9th. Score 19-0 sim to end YOUR TEAM LOST Score 19-20 I almost put my controller into the television. I just powered off XBOX and opened a cold beer.
