Welcome to Monday Night Baseball! You are a pro baseball team in Japan!
Tonight you are facing the Yakult Swallows.
You have one runner on first base in the first inning.
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "bunt".
> bunt
You have a runner on second base and one out. Inaba is at the plate. He is good at baseball.
> hit the ball
You try, but you only succeed in grounding out and striking out.
> strike the opponents out
You try, but they aren't swinging. Perhaps you meant "walk them"?
> walk them
OK. Fortunately, your fielding prevents them from scoring... for now.
It's the third inning. You have a runner on first and one out.
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "ground into a double play".
> ground into a double play
OK.
> inventory
You are carrying:
1 decent outfielder
4 backup outfielders
3 catchers
3 decent infielders
7 dudes who really can't do anything but DH or play 1B
1 golden rookie (cursed)
It's the 4th inning. You have a runner on first and no outs.
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "bunt".
> bunt
OK. The rest of your batters also fail to do anything productive.
It's the 6th inning and the other team is up to bat.
> throw a strike
OK. The batter hits you for 1 base point of damage.
> strike them out
I don't understand that command. You must mean "walk them".
> walk them
OK. There are now runners on first and second.
> strike them out
I don't understand that command. You must mean "walk them".
> walk them
OK. The bases are now loaded.
> swear
You swear. It does 2 points of damage as Guiel hits the next pitch into centerfield.
They have gained the lead.
Swallows: 2
Fighters: 0
> change pitchers for the love of god already
OK. To who?
> put in Ejiri
OK. Ejiri allows another runner to score on a groundout but otherwise gets out of the inning intact.
Fighters: 0
Swallows: 3
> sing fight song
Your fans sing the fight song. You now have enough mana points to cast one spell.
> cast "hit ball"
OK. You wave your wand very hard and the ball goes bounding towards the third baseman and the throw is not in time! It does 1 base point of damage.
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "walk".
> walk
OK.
> hit the ball
OK. You wave a Nioka at the ball and it does another base point of damage. The bases are now loaded.
> sing bouncy chance music
OK. The chance music recharges your mana points.
> recast "hit ball"
You wave a Makoto Kaneko at the ball. It does another hit point of damage and loads the bases.
Fighters: 1
Swallows: 3
They change pitchers to Matsuoka.
> cast "hit ball"
I'm sorry, you are out of mana points. You fly out to second instead.
> cast "hit ball"
I'm sorry, you are out of mana points. You strike out instead.
> hit the ball
With what?
> kensuke tanaka's bat
OK. You hit the ball with Kensuke Tanaka's bat. It does 2 points damage.
They no longer have the lead.
Fighters: 3
Swallows: 3
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "strike out".
> kutabare yomiuri
You wave your umbrella around and dance for the 7th inning stretch.
> get a run
I don't understand that command. You must mean "fail to do anything productive against former closer Ryota Igarashi and current closer Chang-yong Lim".
> yeah that
OK.
> change to a decent pitcher for the bottom of the 9th
OK. To who?
> put in micheal nakamura
I'm sorry, that item is not in your inventory.
> put in tateyama
OK. Yoshinori Tateyama takes the mound for you.
> put in shohei tateyama
I'm sorry, that item is not in your inventory.
> steal their tateyama
I don't understand that command. You must mean "give up a double."
> put in the GOOD tateyama do you hear me
I don't understand that command. You must mean "lose the game 4-3 on a walkoff single by Shinichi Takeuchi".
> quit
Do you want to save before you quit? (y/n)
> y
Then why did you put in Tateyama? Zing!
Final score:
Fighters: 3
Swallows: 4
You are in a maze of twisty little interleague games, all different...
