You Wanna Get Spicy? How to Trigger Ejections in MLB the Show 21 (Because Baseball Isn't Baseball Without a Little Ejectment Drama)
Let's face it, folks, MLB the Show 21 is fantastic. You've got your dream team built, you're crushing dingers left and right, but something feels...missing. That's right, the sweet symphony of an umpire tossing a manager or player like a ragdoll. Fear not, my friends, because we're here to spice things up and get those ejections flowing!
Before We Throw Hands (Figuratively)
Now, hold on there, Roy Hobbs. Ejections in MLB the Show 21 aren't exactly a toggle switch you can flip. Unlike injuries (which, let's be honest, can be a total buzzkill sometimes), ejections are a bit more...unpredictable. But fear not, because there are ways to increase the odds of an umpire getting trigger-happy.
Become the King of Brushbacks (But Maybe Lay Off the Headhunting)
Here's the thing: throwing at the batter with reckless abandon is a surefire way to get yourself yanked. However, a strategically placed brushback pitch (you know, just a little heat on the inner thigh to let the batter know you mean business) can get the umpire's blood pressure rising. Just remember, we're going for an ejection, not a trip to the commissioner's office.
Channel Your Inner Bobby Knight (But Maybe Not Quite That Inner)
Let's be honest, managers can be a fiery bunch. So, if you're feeling the frustration after a bad call, you can argue with the ump. Now, I'm not saying go full meltdown (unless you're recording a hilarious montage for YouTube), but a calm but firm "Are you serious, blue?" can go a long way.
The Power of Repetition (Or How to Annoy the Umpire into Oblivion)
This one's a slow burn, but it can be effective. Let's say you have a pitcher with a questionable strike zone. Every close call, every borderline pitch, give the umpire a good, respectful talking to. Be polite, but persistent. Eventually, that frustration might bubble over, and bingo, ejection achieved!
Important Disclaimers (Because We Don't Want You to Get Banned)
- Use caution! While ejections can be fun, don't overdo it. You don't want to get flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
- Respect the game. This is all about having a little fun, not ruining the experience for yourself or others.
- This might not work. Remember, ejections are still a bit random in MLB the Show 21.
So there you have it! With a little strategy and some good-natured ribbing, you can be on your way to an ejection-filled MLB the Show 21 experience. Just remember, keep it light, have fun, and enjoy the show (both on the field and the one you're creating)!
