First I tried playing an exhibition game (Yankees vs Orioles b/c the two are leading the league in HRs). It took awhile but finally Santander hit a HR. I then turned off the game by going to task manager, selecting the game and selected end task. Now when I reloaded the game it loaded fine, but I couldn't resume the exhibition game.
So I decided I'd try a regular season game (it's a test league so I don't care). I took control of the Angels as they played the Orioles to start the season. Again, it took awhile to get a HR, but Henderson finally hit. And this time instead of trying to be safe by shutting it down via task manager, I just exited out of the game via the top right x in windowed mode. And this time, instead of it loading fine, it, as expected, threw up some warnings about an incident and that the file might be corrupted. Again, I didn't care as it's a test league, and I tried to resume the game, but again I couldn't. It started be back off at the first day and I sim to OD again.
So I thought, well, maybe it has something to do with opening day that I couldn't resume it, so I simmed OD and tried again in game 2. This time Rutschman hit a HR. I thought, "how else can I shut down the game trying for it not to save the HR?" and I figured I'd just shut it down from pinned shortcut on the taskbar. I loaded it back up and it loaded fine and I was able to resume the game, but it was onto the next batter, Henderson, the HR was already in the books.
Anyway, unless you can tell us exactly how you were able to resume the game at that exact point and we can reproduce and confirm that this happens, I'm going to remain skeptical. I'll admit, maybe something has changed since OOTP23 with regard to this.

From what I read of his post, I believe he first saved and quit a game. Then when he resumed, the next batter hit a HR against him. So, he End Tasked the game and restarted it and did that 51 times straight because the resumed game batter kept hitting a HR until it finally didn't on the 52nd try. Thus the reason he thinks there is a predetermined outcome. I understand where you are in that in any game situation, you don't know when a guy is about to hit one in order to save, quit and resume.
