It's amusing to see all the casuals getting their panties in a bunch over the objective fact that the player who played better in a certain game loses WAY too much. Everyone that argues against it has barely played online. At least argue what you know.

I’m not sure what your ranked seasons record is, but of your losses, do you find that many of them occur after blowing a lead in the 7th, 8th, or 9th? I lose in all sorts of ways, but some of which occur after losing my lead in the latter innings. If you find that you don’t struggle with blowing leads late, what are some of the strategies you use to keep that from happening?
I don’t think I blow leads late. I pull the pitcher when they are tired and pay attention to pitch count. I also pay attention to pitch confidence in terms of selection in clutch situations.
On the offensive side to me it’s about working the count to increase pitch total and reduce confidence.

I have well 500 online games played so I am not quite casual. You are not using the word objective correctly as you are applying your subjective anecdotal experience to everyone.

Lol, the people that call for a more meritocratic approach have an overwhelming abundance of tangible evidence in support of the unwelcome amount of RNG this year. To call it anecdotal at this stage is quite frankly idiotic.

You have been able to figure out how to combat the “comeback logic” that a lot of people complain about. Using pitches with the most confidence, is that how you keep balls from going right down the middle in crucial situations?

I've competed in several sports at a relatively high tier, freeskiing, badminton, BJJ - in none of those sports does luck play a factor.
You severely exaggerate the influence of luck in baseball as well.
Tigers can beat the Yankees but relatively speaking the skill gap between the two is far from what the skill gap is between your average DS grinder and Rebel. Furthermore, the days in which the Tigers beat the Yankees they either objectively outperform them or play on par with them to leave an opening for any luck to factor in.
Never in baseball do you have a situation where one team is absolutely crushing the ball and loses to a team hopelessly flailing at pitches. In MLB the show that actually occurs.
It's also ridiculous and inane to call a desire for meritocracy a "grievance mindset".
Wow you are really salty about this. I am sorry that your high level badminton
experience does not align with most sports experience. It is very ironic because by any objective measure the Astros are better than the Nats. Matter of fact in baseball it is rare that the consensus best team wins.I am not surprised by your concept of meritocracy as a counter to my grievance mindset. If it were a meritocracy then things like spending tons of money on monitors, internet connections and better cards play a far bigger issue. Are you earning your wins if you are blasting bombs with say Ruth compared to a guy who can’t afford him.

Actually yes. Check the confidence on those meatball pitches kid. Also don’t be afraid to walk someone. Sorry that the answer is that simple. And this is going to sound real basic but mound visits are helpful. So is taking a guy out if you don’t have confidence you can get the batter out with the pitch or pitches he has confidence with.
It is rare that I lose a comeback game and can’t directly attribute it to a mistake I made. Kept a dude in too long, didn’t pay attention to confidence etc

Lmao, "most sports experience". [censored].
Most sports are about human talent and hard work. Please explain to me how Roger Federer won most his grand slams by getting lucky? How much faster did Usain Bolts luck make him? Surely Aleksander Karelin just got lucky beating his opponents? What an absolutely ridiculous take.
Show me an instance where an MLB team was crushing a ball throughout an entire game and still lost to a team that flailed at the ball for the entirety of a game. I'll wait.
Monitors, cards etc. all factor in of course but were talking about after the input has already occurred... that's when the RNG kicks in. Can you not understand such a simple concept?

Do you find that being patronizing has worked out well for you this far in life? Do you ever say or post something and think you maybe could have said that in a better way? I do sometimes. Maybe you thought I was being sarcastic, but if you legitimately don’t have an issue with one of the biggest issues in the game, then you’ve clearly figured something out. To be honest, I don’t really check pitch confidence in “sweaty” situations, but I’m definitely going to now.

Lmao, you write as if you've figured something out but a rudimentary search shows that you're a lifetime .267 batter... Clearly you're not that great at the game.

What does batting .267 have to do with shutting someone down the opposition when I have a lead. Maybe if you didn’t discredit people who you think you are better than you might learn something

A batting avg. is a good indicator of how good someone is at the game. Not coincidentally, Pitching Rebel has the highest.
-
I win a good share of 4-3 games so stopping the comeback is super important for me. Whereas you might be winning 8-2 all the time. Playing in pressure might be rare for you. Also keep in mind my .267 was done playing with some crappy players as I was going for Affinity quite a bit

But it’s whatever, keep complaining about comeback logic and don’t listen to a dude who is in close games and doesn’t have that problem. Have fun.
Keep this in mind. I am not a ultra superior player and my hitting is so-so. Therefore i am constantly in close games. I might no a thing or two about how to survive close games. Maybe more so then dudes who blow people out on the regular.

Oh, ok sure. Believe what you want I guess. But if I am batting .267 and I am assuming you are batting significantly higher, why aren’t our averages the same if it’s just random? Why does Rebel win so much more than everyone else. If it’s random this should not happen.

Lol this is such a childish black and white argument. We've gone over this a million times. Rebel doesn't win nearly as often as he should. That's an objective fact and if you but watched him play over an extended period of time you'd see this.
Suffice to say that the people whose opinion I value agree with me, not you. What you believe is ultimately unimportant to me.

I will leave track out because it’s a singular skill. However, did Federer win EVERY match. NO!!! Why because on some days other factor played into it. His skill and hard work good coaching, great trainers, great equipment will win out over time. But in any individual match other factors play in.
As far as RNG. Yes it helps factor in things that we don’t have control over. For example sometimes guys have bad swings or uppercut more than they want. That is separate from timing or aiming which is represented in game. It happens less often to better players, but it happens to all. That is why the game wouldn’t be sim if it did not include this. For example, if Ruth squares up a ball with a normal swing. Should it be a homer every time? Can it be a line drive. If it can be a hard liner can it ever be at a fielder. What should determine the various outcomes?
