You know, when there's a pitch on the line of the strike zone, and your player looks at the umpire, saying, what the *(censored)* that was a ball.

What if he's just telling you to swing?

Anyways, is there a blue ability that puts calls in your favour?

No special ability for that. It would be cool if there was a blue Pitch Framing ability for catchers, though.

That's a funny idea! There is a green ability – I think it's called "good eye." I always assumed it was one of those things that only matter when the computer was playing, but Maybe that does help with calls. I have noticed that when the ball actually touches the line of the strike zone, sometimes it is called a strike but sometimes it is called a ball. I haven't thought to check on whether any abilities of the picture or batter might affect that call.

Doesn't work.



Skip to around 1:50 to see.

The calls are meant to be wildly varible in the game (Just like the show is sometimes :D) and sometimes a pitch that is called a ball will be a strike a pitch or two later.

How about calls on the bases in the game

Oh yeah. When the game is close and nearing the end of the game, I start seeing closer calls.
