How is Colavito credited with a Home Run on a 1-4 roll vs Guidry a Lefty, his card calls for a "Walk" vs a lefty, against a Righty his card calls for a Home Run

TOP OF INNING 2
0 R.Colavito 1-4 Home Run (LF) b-H bpHR 1-6 F9
0 G.Hartnett 4-6 Line Out (2B) b-0 F9
1 P.Reiser 1-7 Double (CF) b-2 F9
1 2 P.Rose 5-10 Ground Out (SS) 2-3 b-0 gb(SS)x F9
2 3 K.Higbe 5-7 Ground Out (2B) b-0 gb(2B)x F9

I would send this in. It definitely appears HAL thought Guidry was throwing right handed.
Probably explains whey Guidry usually underperforms for me.

Where did the ballpark homerun come from too?

I'm guessing it's one of those secret home field advantage rolls.

This is a good question and needs an explanation (at least for me). It is a ballpark HR that occurs. Colovito does not have a ballpark HR on 1-4 against either left or right-handed pitching. Colovito is also on the visiting team so not sure how the mysterious home field advantage would play in here. Perhaps a rare play situation?? Anyone that knows these better than I might comment. I would hate to think that it is a true game play error. Please post if you get a response that satisfies.

Even more evidence for what i've suspected for a long time....this online version is far from a random dice game...

bump

I had a similar thing happen to me a few months ago. They said the result of the play was correct, but the listing of the dice roll was incorrect. Which then raises the question, "Why show the dice roll"?

Secretly, behind the curtain (scene) super clutch pitching is turned on!!

Super Clutch Pitching rules provide for, all instances of a 1-4 roll becomes a BP HR, for all players named 'Rocky'.

So Rocky Bridges would have had a BP HR chance too!!! It's on the Garcia's BLOG in invisible ink, but only with the special glasses, that only Hal Richmond has, can anyone read it.

Just so you know, WE are not in control here, SOM is... I think they appear to be... but maybe not too much, in control

Did anybody come up with any reasonable explanation for this Colavito HR?
