I was playing a game yesterday, and there was a grounder hit to my 2nd Baseman, Orlando Hudson. It was close to 1st base, but Ryan Howard (I made a dream team) covered the bag, so Hudson had to sprint to get there. It was a close play, but Hudson picked up the ball, and made a backhanded glove flip to get the out. Without taking the ball out of his glove. I'd never seen that before, so I was wondering if anybody on here has?

A FLD + Gold Glover = crazy shizz, especially for middle infielders.

I have yet to see it, but I'll pay more attention.

I did it once. EPIC.

Yeah it was pretty sweet. I watched it at least 5 times on replay.

I've seen glove flips often between middle infielders, when the 2B or shortstop dives and needs to toss it to the other MI.

Sounds like something I'll want to play around with in Fielding Practice.

What's up with trash talk? Is there an animation for it?

No idea, but I doubt it. I use the default perspective when I play, so for all I know the catcher turns into A.J. Pierzynski before every pitch.

I play behind pitcher, but I don't think an animation accompanies TT.

What exactly are the effects it even has? Is it like a mini-intimidator kind of thing?

There's trash talk on this game? I'm so confused!

It is a catcher ability. When he is catching, he decreases the batters hitting ability.

Oh. Cool, sounds... cool. Can you actually see him talking the trash, if you play behind the pitcher? I don't, I play default.

So it basically has the same effects as facing a pitcher with Intimidator, but to less of an extent.
