First blowout I've had on legend so far. Busted it wide open in the 2nd. 7 straight 2-out hits including 2 2-run HR's. Knocked out Kazmir in the inning after his pitch count was around 60. To top things off Hamels threw a "no-no" for the 4 innings.

Kazmir was off tonight ...I just finished up lighting him up for 10 in the first en route to a 13-1 blow out. Funny thing is that I don't think I've had 14 hits in the last 5 or 6 games combined, and probably 13 runs in the last 8 or 9 games total...(I'm not playing Legend though).

haha poor Kaz... ya this was my first time hitting like this in about 12-15 games. I stayed pretty patient and got some good pitches to hit. Howard hit a towering shot to right field about 5 rows from the back of the 2nd deck.

I mentioned it in the "Little Things" thread, but I hit back to back HR with Utley and Howard, then followed that up with a Double. Kazmir took a walk around behind the mound and then spit on the grass behind it before going back up on the mound...Awesome!

NICE! When Maddon came out to take Kazmir out, kaz flipped the ball to him when Maddon was about half way out as to say, " get me out of here". Thought it was a nice touch.

Meanwhile Utley flies around 3rd and half way home before Navarro realized the ball was in front of the dugout, runs and slides to get it, and fires to Kazmir covering home. Utley slammed on the breaks and beat feet back to 3rd. I've never seen a C not be able to find the ball in a video baseball game...

Me neither! How cool! Man, where's Doc Emmitt Brown and his DeLorean time machine when ya need him!? We could make tomorrow March 2!

I was the Rays last night and took a no-hitter into the 7th inning. Score tied 0-0, before I lost in the bottom of the 7th.

Ruiz led off and I walked him. Next up Hamels bunted Ruiz over to second so I had man on second with 1 out. J-Rol came up and laced one to right, Joyce is on his horse but can't catch up to it as its over his head, bounces to the wall, ball game over.

I gave up one hit and it cost me the ball game

Is it March yet?

I love the difficulty on Legend, i still cant get a hit for the life of me. I may start using Guess Pitch becuase right now i usually get about 1 hit in the 4-7 innings i play. Im not striking out as much, but man, i cant hit for junk.
