Boy do I wish this season was RBI Baseball 14, things would
be so much better. I am not much of a gamer anymore but I did purchase RBI
Baseball 14 for my iPhone, $4.99 in the app store case you were wondering, and
I am loving every minute of it. With two kids, a wife, a 40+ hour a week job,
another writing job on the side, and you guys I don’t get much time to play
anymore but I did finally finish the month of April with surprising statistics.
Keep in mind that I could not hit for crap in my first four
games for whatever reason. I was either early on everything, I pounded perfect
pitches into the ground, or the defense just flat out robbed me. I also pretty
much skipped the tutorial and thought I could do it my own way and started the
season 1-4. I finished the month of April 20-7 and lead the American League
East by 1.5 games over the Boston Red Sox and have the best record in the
American League. Two teams, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies,
have better records than me in the National League.
My best pitcher by far has been Hiroki Kuroda. I could face
the suckiest(not a word but stay with me because I used it for emphasis) batter in the game and still give up a single using CC Sabathia in
this game making me wonder if I just suck with him or if the game is that
realistic. My best hitter has been Alfonso Soriano and my best clutch hitter
has been Brian Roberts. Yeah, they need a roster update and no, it’s not
realistic. I just suck with Sabathia.
Imagine if RBI Baseball were real and Alfonso Soriano and
Brian Roberts had great seasons with the Yankees. Imagine if Tanaka was still
pitching and Yangervis Solarte was coming off the bench somehow with a 1.000
batting average in nine at bats. Imagine if the Yankees made the playoffs this
season.
