I am by no means an elite player in ranked. However, I can't help but laugh at the lengths someone will go to win a game. I came up against a player yesterday and he was pulling out all the stops.
Target Field in the middle of the day, check. Bunt spamming with a team full of speedsters, check. Pausing every single pitch, check. I should of immediately quit. Anyway, long story short. He gets up 1 to 0 at the top of the 4th inning by finally getting away with a crappy bunt single my fielder bobbles the ball on. He pauses again and sends me a friendly message to "Get gud" and "I'm gonna bunt in a mercy win on you". I get up to bat in the bottom of the 4th. I start with a single and then steal second. He then proceeds to throw 8 straight dirt balls and walks the next two batters. Bases loaded. He finally comes back in the zone with a high 102 heater. I perfect perfect it with Core Bryce Harper and it is a no doubter off the bat. He instantly disconnects. Sigh.
To make it worse he messages again. This time I get the "You got lucky and you suck a big bag of d***s at this game".
I mean seriously. What is with the growing toxicity? Aren't games supposed to be fun people?
I'd like to hear some others stories. Please rant away. LOL
