My Keeper Buster Posey is a master of the cricket shot. He's had 3 singles I can remember in woh//cvc on pitches that have bounced. But he's my only player so far to do it.
I had an awesome one-off glitch in 2018 / CVC. Hit a deep high fly to RF that obviously was going to be a homer, lost track of the ball, but the rightfielder had a beat on it....he ran thru the outfield fence...into the bullpen and out thru the back of the bullpen. The ball never came down. No homerun was awarded. The screen just stayed focused on the fans above the bullpen - cheering the play. I guess they were in awe of the rightfielder running thru the fence and the bullpen wall. Had to reboot the app to get out of that play. Never ever seen that again.
I love it when the ball smashes off the foul pole, no outfielder in sight, no sign of the ball, then you think the game has froze. 30 seconds later turns out it was a double
@DFBB I've hit a couple that were to left-center or center where the fielder went to the wall put glove up but the ball just carried and carried and it was a homerun, no animation. My favorite though is with the animation, opposite field from a righty that travels exactly 351 feet over that giant wall that only the batter knows is gone.
I had Joey Wendel when I first started, and he'd hit routine fly balls to right that got caught in the jet stream or something. Happened constantly in woh. It took like six seconds for it to leave the park.
Ooooh man, had one I never saw or heard of today on 4.9. Pence with a double off blue wall and fielder is in normal eff it trot but then speeds up like crazy. Gets there as the ball is hitting wall on one hop but turns around and puts hands up like he’s catching a flyball though he’s got his back to wall. Ball lands in his glove and bloop!....another fielder is magically cloned and appears running and stops just before the wall. I guffawed. Wish I had recorded it..
Forgot this one - it has happened a couple of times.... Head to head play. Hit a ball into left field, runner from second heads home to score. The pitcher comes into the screen and stops right on the third base line. As the throw comes in from the outfield, the runner slides - going right through the pitchers legs and slides into home to beat the throw. Cracks me up everytime it happens.
I enjoy the ghost shortstop and 2B. Hands down to the side, no movement. Just... Floats across the screen 👻 not a big fan of the outfielders with turbos stuck up their rear end as they Superman sprints 100m in an instant as @CanadaCubs mentioned.

Nobody has mentioned yet how when you hit a rocket to the gap and the corner outfielder is already there standing flat footed on the warning track to grab the can-o-corn.

Again, no context necessary. I still contend that this is one of the best insults I have ever heard.

you have a runner on 3rd and hit a long foul ball. When it comes back it shows that the runner scored right as the pitch is being thrown.
