It's actually pretty fun. My high score so far after playing about 20 times is 19,784.

Hit the question mark at the bottom to understand how the scoring is done.

I have played about 25 games so far...thanks ...lol

frankhardy · June 30, 2007 1:28AM

How did you do?

Piman58 · June 30, 2007 1:36AM

I would do a lot better if I didn't 'step in the bucket' every time I swing!

Thanks for sharing the site.

frankhardy · June 30, 2007 1:56AM

I just got to 28,396.

What do you mean by "step in the bucket"?

BobaFett72 · June 30, 2007 2:53AM

From Wikipedia-

To act timidly or cowardly. A batter who steps away from home plate with his leading foot (usu. in fear of being struck by a pitched ball) instead of a straight-ahead stride is said to "step in the bucket

ctsoxfan · June 30, 2007 8:14AM

That's a lot of fun, thanks!

Apparently I'm a dead pull hitter. I just flew out to the unseen LF three times in a row.

frankhardy · June 30, 2007 1:23PM

I just got 35,839.

stitzen · June 30, 2007 2:27PM

I had 39k until the last pitch when I K'ed and lost half

yankeeno7 · June 30, 2007 5:28PM

How do you elevate the ball? I keep trying different ways but just keep hitting grounders.

stitzen · June 30, 2007 6:20PM

I've had the best luck hitting the ball with the top half of the bat...the higher on the bat you hit, the higher it goes.

Tinkerbell is waving her magic wand, hoping that someone, some where will give her the strength to cope with life.

What a sad, pathetic life it lives.

Skinpinch · June 30, 2007 10:30PM

Here is the key....

1)Keep your bat level. When you see a high fastball, that will be the best chance to hit a HR, but you have to keep the bat level to get it elevated. I hit a few over the scoreboard like this.

If the pitch comes lower, then you need to lower the bat a tad to get elevation...this is the hard part, as you have only a small amount of time to lower it the right amount.

2)Do not try and pull the bull. Blast away at the scoreboard AND the big 'Fenway' corner in right center.

3)Hit the ball near the end of the bat. If you are anxious and try to pull, you will miss, but if you time it right with the bat at the right level, and then blast it, you will elevate it.

I got 47,232 as my high.

One game I had 20,000 after my first three swings, then the little buggers caught two and got me to 500 something. Then I blasted my way to 37,000 in that game.

It took me about a dozen games to figure this out.

If you get really good, then you can aim for the 2X, and get double points on HR.

Guess all of those pelts mean nothing on the diamond.

stevek · July 1, 2007 2:12AM

first game - 0
second game - 123
third game - 164

I'm improving.

stevek · July 1, 2007 2:21AM

Here's another "stupid little game" involving golf which I sometimes partake in when I'm feeling brain dead. LOL

My personal best is 12 in a row.

frankhardy · July 1, 2007 7:36AM

Like Skin said, the key is to hit the ball off the end of the bat. If you get under it just a little, it will go for a HR. Also, the key to a high score is to spray the ball. The reason you spray the ball to all fields is that the fielders rotate to where you just hit the ball. If you hit it to left, the fielder will move and then if you hit it to right, the fielder won't catch it.

Stevek that is just mindless fun, man, LOL.

At first I couldn't get even one, but I just got 6 in a row. Don't ask me how.

The little b*st*rds seem to know when you're going good, then they throw that 4.92 one in there to freeze you out! LOL

calaban7 · July 1, 2007 11:00AM

I know it stinks but I just score over 8000 on the 5 th game I played. My wife and I have 5 sons but I still believe this means I must not have much of a life. Thanks for the game.

ArnyVee · July 1, 2007 1:02PM

1st game - 2934

2nd game - 26841

3rd game - 16537

4th game - 2904

5th game - 17459

....I'm all over the place.

Bunker · July 1, 2007 1:37PM

My best game is 16,000 and some change. I keep it minimized and play it during commercials while watching the real thing on the tube.

Skinpinch · July 1, 2007 2:02PM

FrankHardy,

I was up to 62,000+ with 5 pitches still to go, then I lined out to one of the buggers! I could have played content and hit ground balls, but I was going for 100,000. I ended up with 27,000+ in the game.

Another game I had 20,000 on my first three swings....which means I still had 10 pitches to go. I finished with 19,000+.

ctsoxfan · July 2, 2007 1:17AM

Jeez - I must suck at this baseball game, I can't break 10,000!

But, I did just nail 6 putts in a row on the golf game.

I better get some work done today!

stevek · July 2, 2007 1:28AM

Bunch of dam computer game addicts on this forum. Quite pathetic really. Why don't you all do something constructive such as working harder at your job or business, caring more for your family and friends, and perhaps contributing to world peace and solving the hunger problem?

Now excuse me while I get back to this cursed computer baseball game.

stown · July 2, 2007 1:43AM

perkdog · July 2, 2007 1:51AM

Just another thing Im addicted to now! 13,139 so far is my high score.

I did manage a ZERO as well..

perkdog · July 2, 2007 3:31AM

17,802

yankeeno7 · July 2, 2007 3:34AM

I finally hit a bit over 29K...but that was by far my best so far LOL

frankhardy · July 2, 2007 5:52AM

I am so very glad that I could contribute to you guys' life!

By the way, I just got to 32,995 a while ago which is my second best.

stown · July 2, 2007 5:56AM

perkdog · July 2, 2007 6:05AM

It is a great little game huh?

Bunker · July 2, 2007 6:22AM

I can't break 20,000...I almost did but I lined out with 2 pitches to go.

Bunker · July 2, 2007 10:30AM

Has anyone hit a HR to left field? I am a straight away to right field hitter I guess

stitzen · July 2, 2007 10:32AM

Its tough to pull the ball with any amount of power, I can hit it to the fence, but haven't been able to hit a HR to left, all mine go either dead center or to right.

Skinpinch · July 2, 2007 10:43AM

My son hit one through the opening of the left field fence. I have been trying to put one on that metal porch...came close by the gutter, but no cigar yet.

frankhardy · July 2, 2007 11:14AM

I wonder if anyone has broken a window?

To pull it, you have to stick the bat all the way out over the plate and swing a little early where the ball will hit the end of the bat when it is a little out in front of the plate. I've tried to hit the opening and haven't done it yet, but I have hit some HR's to left.

JeremyDie1 · July 2, 2007 11:45AM

frankhardy · July 2, 2007 11:59PM

40,166 is my best now. I had 24,000 pts from the very start without a strike or an out.

BobaFett72 · July 3, 2007 12:44AM

I wish i could hit opposite field like this in real life! im a dead pull power hitter lol. i'd kill to have the skills of this little digital dude!

stown · July 3, 2007 12:46AM

So frustrating... Was at 35,000 with 2 pitches to go. K and then a pop out.

perkdog · July 3, 2007 1:16AM

30,989

ctsoxfan · July 3, 2007 1:49AM

Okay, I'm getting the hang of this now, just hit 4 HR's in a row! And then, struck out and flied out, so my score sucked.

How do you guys save a screen capture like that? In case I hit the big one, I want to save it for posterity!

stitzen · July 3, 2007 3:10AM

ctsox-

Just hit the print screen button, then open a photo editing program, then paste in the capture (cntrl-V) and there you have it.

stitzen - thanks for the help.

Now, I just need a score to be cap-worthy...

You have to hit - Ctrl, then Alt, then Print Screen. That copies it to your clipboard. Then go into Paint, go to Edit, and then Paste. That's the way I do it, anyway.

Hmm interesting, I don't have to hit cntrl-alt. I've just always hit the print screen.
