You Wanna Throw Hands? How (Not Really) to Get Ejected in MLB The Show 22
Let's face it, we've all been there. You're down by a run in the bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, and the ump calls a curveball a mile off the plate a strike three. Blood pressure's rising, the controller's getting a death grip, and all you want to do is march out there and give that blue zebra a piece of your mind.
Well, hold on there, Roy Hobbs Jr. While MLB The Show 22 lets you live out your ultimate baseball fantasies, throwing down with the ump isn't quite on the menu. Ejections? Not a chance, my friend. Apparently, baseball doesn't want a digital brawl tarnishing their pristine image (can't blame them, those mascots are expensive).
But fear not, fellow fuming fans! There's still plenty of ways to channel your inner Bobby Nightengale (minus the actual ejection). Here are a few alternative approaches to vent your frustrations:
- The Controller Yeet (At Your Own Risk): This is a classic for a reason. Just chuck that DualSense across the room (safely, of course). Think of it as a stress reliever disguised as a potential TV replacement purchase.
- The Muttered Insult Extravaganza: Unleash a Shakespearean monologue of frustration under your breath. The beauty of this method? No one has to hear you call the ump worse than Bill Murray in "Little Giants" (trust me, that's bad).
- The Sarcastic Slow Clap: This is a personal favorite. Just imagine the look on your opponent's face (especially if they're online) as you sarcastically applaud that atrocious call. Bonus points for dramatic head shaking.
But Wait! There's More!
While you can't get ejected yourself, you can always dream of the day the umps get theirs. Here's a little something to hold you over:
- Head over to YouTube: There are plenty of compilations of real-life ejections. Watch a fired-up manager get tossed and feel a sliver of satisfaction.
- Write Fan Fiction: Let your imagination run wild! Craft a story where your favorite player lays down the verbal smackdown (or maybe even a well-placed pie) on a particularly egregious ump.
Remember, folks, MLB The Show 22 is about having fun, even when the calls go against you. So crank up the difficulty, channel your inner baseball zen, and leave the umpire arguments to the professionals (or your wildest fan fiction).
