The Little Things Thread

[jct32]

This is always my favorite thread every year. I don't have the game yet but I want to hear what you guys have to say.

Best thing i've seen so far is the following:

Opposing batter hits a hard liner nearly out of range of the 2nd basemen, my 2B reaches out and bats the ball down with his glove, and it starts rolling around.

Here comes the best part...in previous years, you'd always have to sit around waiting for the player to regroup, pick up the ball, and make the throw to 1st, usually too late....

This year, my 2B knocked the ball down, and while he was recovering from his stumble, snagged the ball barehanded off the ground and made the throw in time to first.

It's little stuff like that that I appreciate in a game.

Few things.

Planes flying over head at Citi Field.

Saw a close play at first, the ump started to make the safe motion, then changed it to an out. Looked cool. Showed 4 replays of it at different angles.

Love the commercial transitions after a half inning.

Love the clouds moving on the field in the day to afternoon transition.

The crowd standing up when I had 2 OUTS and bases loaded up by 2.

The crowd stood up to start cheering. It was pretty sweet

Ian Snell took a hard line drive off the noggin.

they showed him on the ground and he had to leave the game.

1) Video switchs to the coach and the commentary starts commenting on him. Neat little touch.

2) Saw kinda the same thing as Macdaddy. A hard shot fired down first base line, he makes a diving attempt to SLOW the ball down. Getting a glove on it and it rolling towards second base. It prevented the batter from hitting a double and limited him to stay on first GREAT play

3) Chipper Jones nails a homer bottom of the ninth with a man on to win the game. It switched to him running down the base path, pumping his fist getting the crowd fired up that he won the game.

4) Same game as above, Top of the ninth game tied up, every one in the stands was on their feet. Very cool.

guys, is there wind in this game and does it affect physics of the batted flyballs?

I couldnt tell in the demo


btw, I like the way fans will reach for balls hit into the stands...great touch! Adds life to the crowd
