Anyone else trying to make WS?

1-3 tonight. Should have stopped when I lost the first game. Just couldn’t see the ball. Oh yeah..and high sinkers make my blood boil. I know it’s a thing in this game and I have to hit some to make WS, but I still hate them. Still in the 770s.

I am 7-7 over the last 2 nights of playing, but +11 in the points column. Sitting at 847 which is my all time high. The highs and lows of this game are too much to handle though lol.

Weird night 4w 1l currently 807.
Got mercy ruled in game 1 because of the home advantage.Game 2 I basically mercy ruled someone because home advantage.
Game 3 losing 1 _ 0 in first runner on 1st and 3rd cheeky rat stole home which got me mad at myself so put 9 up in the 2nd he let the time run out but I wanted him to quit. He decided to play on and at this point I'm not really caring but he pulled it back a little needing just 5 in the 8th and 3 in the 9th.
Game 4 up 4 in 1st or 2and then rage quit.
Almost every win or loss in this game for me and I assume others is down to connection.
Oh and the game I lost was against 94 T.Mckenzie where I got only 5 hits.

1-6 since Sunday when I was feeling good about cs. I just can’t see the ball anymore. I saw the ball decent in my first couple HOF games but not since Sunday. Home/away it doesn’t matter. I’m now in wild card. I might have to thrown in the towel. I might give it one more try. I’m switching up my lineup and we’ll see how it goes.

Dont give up! You were right there. I've definitely gone through stretches where hitting seems impossible. You probably got unlucky on a couple poor connection games, faced a couple good opponents, and now your pressing a little. Stay confident though - you're good. I would guess the vast majority of players never get to the mid 800s

I'm 2-0 so far tonight. My ranking is currently low, so I have been matching up with beatable opponents. I got a netgear powerline to hopefully make my connection stronger and avoid the DC losses that have been plaguing me all year. So far so good. It has also boosted my download/upload speeds from 20MB/2MB to 50MB/5MB. Games have been smoother for sure.

Thank for the pep talk. I took Rollins, mantle, and papi our and put in Wagner, Gehrig, and Stan the man. The part that is so hard is just how long it takes. I don’t quit because I’m trying to get better, the. I go 0-2 and lose a bunch of points. I’ll see if I can squeeze in one more game
Tonight. -

Went 2-1 today, lost first one to a WS banner guy who crushed 3 homers in the first 4 batters. Not sure what he was doing in the mid 700s, I got out of that game. Than won the next two, sitting mid 700s. Don’t see me passing my high of 880 or so this season.
Keep the faith. Don’t sell yourself short. I got 1 game in today. Was down 6-1 in the 5th and rallied to win 10-6. I’m up to 823, which is an all time high for me. This is my first time ever trying to really make WS, which I still view as a long shot. Praying for the right matchups to get there lolNah man if you can make 800 you can make WS. Gotta have confidence to get it

I had it on Sunday. Lost it the last couple days. We’ll see if I can get it back before the weekend.

After not playing for a few days I’ve gotten up to 722 with my all finest squad. Had to go 10-1 to get there because I didn’t play any ranked last season. After using this finest squad, Salvador Perez is the best catcher in the game IMO. His defense more than makes up for the very slight advantage Foxx gives on offense. Will probably keep him on the God squad for the HOF grind

Quick post. 3-1 over my last 4....up to 877 which is a new all time high for me. My last win....1st inning lead off homer with Finest DJ....didn’t think guys in the 800s gave up that quickly lol. Needless to say, I could care less about prestige stats right now.

I don’t feel like I’m there lol. Still highly pessimistic that I get over the hump. I’m actually taking my 3-1 record and calling it a day and will pick it back up tomorrow. This run is too stressful lol

I hit 803 in 17 but that’s about it. Too much RNG this year to go that far in my estimation. Based on my ability anyway. But for my age my 26-10 record isn’t bad lol
What’s your age?
In his 60’s if I’m not mistaken
Then, yup... very impressive
My bad, he’s 65. We had a dads thread in the general discussion
65? Wow what a dork. No way do I wanna be 65 still playing a video game and writing on a forum

How is everyone doing? I have gone 14 and 8 with no disconnect losses since I purchased the power line. Still in the low 700s, but playing better

I had a rough week and am now in the 670s. I think I’m throwing in the towel. It’s just too stressful and time consuming for me.
I had a glimmer of hope when I hit 820, but I’m always late on a sinker. And, I’m pretty sure you can’t make WS if you can’t hit a sinker.
So, as they used to say in Brooklyn...Wait till next year.

The art of hitting the sinker is to start your swing as soon as you see the little upward movement when it comes out of the hand. Don't be afraid to look silly if it was a curveball or changeup instead of a sinker, those will hang more often and they'll resort to that once they figure out you can time up the hard stuff.

Yeah, not worth it if it's not fun for you anymore. It was cool keeping up with your progress. You were close man!
