By default it's set to no reliever. The computer always does. I normally will but if I haven't really thrown the fastball I don't bother. Basically the Heat pitcher can only throw so many of those fastballs. So if you tire him out definitely switch you're meant to use the fast balls sparingly? I used them all the time just to get the innings over quicker, though I did get one out with a few balls, so probably that's not a good idea! What is "Knuckle baller" explain for us over the pond final tables in progress.... still time to vote all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BIT 1337 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 1 hour ago, therealbountybob said: What is "Knuckle baller" explain for us over the pond Well, normally when you throw a ball you impart some spin on it, yes? A knuckle baller grips the ball with their knuckles only and throws it without any spin at all. The ball does all sorts of crazy movement without spin. Because it's not thrown with any real velocity they can pitch for a long time too, although mostly they are used as starters not as relievers. If there's one in MLB right now I don't know him. R.A. Dickey was the last one the Jays had, almost 20 years ago now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BIT 1337 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I liked Skateboard a lot. Too bad I can't really play on my hardware though. Topper I was disappointed in when I got stuck where the rabbit didn't move. I never did get back to it. I'm grateful we played Star League Baseball though as I know it's not a popular one but it's absolutely one of my faves of all time. Think I'll hack it again. Pick a new home team, new trivia, and move Astros back to the AL ? On to the next round! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of my favorite games for Atari and one of the best video game baseball games. And I appreciate the comment about the Astros. It is still jarring to see the Astros and Brewers in their new leagues. I am still not used to it. I will always think of them where they were when I was a kid, playing the teams they used to play in the 1970s and 80s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
