Post subject:  I hit for the Cycle!!!

I am pretty excited today, I just hit for the cycle in my dream draft season!
The player was Ryan Howard, and his first at bat was a double, then a single, then a monster home run.
I knew that the triple was going to be hard. (especially for R. Howard).
I had a man on second when he (Ryan) hit a blast to center field, over the center fielder's head.
The center fielder threw the ball to the cut-off man, I "faked" to home with the man on second, so they threw it to the pitcher who was between home and third. Ryan Howard then ran to third, and the pitcher didn't know what to do with the ball. The man on third came home, and Ryan made it to third. And that meant a triple :D :D :D
(sorry about the "book" of a post)

Nice job and all but hitting for the cycle isn't that hard :wink:

I think it is :roll:, those triples or home runs are murder. Either you have a guy who has too much power and can never hit it deep enough to get a triple and will get a double instead or will always hit homes when you go for the triple. You can't get in between. Then you have the really fast, decent power guys who can hit the homers. Then you have the fact that my team plays in panapaka park (last year) which is by far the hardest to hit homers in. Plus, the other teams in my division (best teams in one division) all have smaller fields where triples are impossible. I once hit one with jorge when I played the yanks. On easy average level mode (after half a year of playing I played the first week of the season in average level) however, I hit 5 cycles in one game, had a 1-hitter, and had damon and a-rod hit two cycles worth in one game. I couldn't play past 2 games because the games took like 45 minutes to an hour each because of my hitting.
Haha, by the way, congrats mate! :mrgreen: :!: :wink:

Thanks, and yes it was tougher just because of the fact that Ryan Howard is not a fast runner at all.

Nice job on getting Howard a triple! That's quite an achievement. :)

This reminds me of something. One time I was a single away from the cycle with a pitcher in a 6 inning game. He gets up and hit a home run :|

Wow, right after righting that post, I got the cycle twice in one week with all the hardest settings! One time I had my 6th inside the park homers (its in my life with a guy with 45 or so power) and once I had my first leginimite homerun. I also almost hit it in the post season but just missed the double. I got mvp, rookie of the year, mvp of the world series (even though I hit only slightly better then longoria by .01 points and had 2 less rbis and he had a walk-off), silver slugger, hank aaron, and won the world series with the rays.

i almost got two players hitting for the cycle in the same game. Chone Figgins needed a homer, he smacked a grounder to 2nd base. Ryan Braun needed a triple, he ends up hitting a hr...

I've hit for the cycle once in my life mode, but thats for a different section.

I hit for the cycle too for the first time...with Kevin Frandsen!!! LOL

Okay, so the difficulty wasn't expert, but it was default. So yeah, getting hits isn't the hardest thing. But, Kevin Frandsen? He hasn't even played a single game this year due to injury.

I went 5-5 with two doubles. The HR came on the 5th at bat.

Proof

The hardest part of the cycle is the triple :)
