What a start to the new ranked season

First game. Chris Sale pitches a perfect game, went all 9 innings. 17 strikeouts.
Second game, Justin Verlander pitches 5 perfect innings before the dude dashboards, 9 strikeouts.
So that's 14 innings, 26 strikeouts, 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP
And then in the flip side there's my first game. Lose a game 12-11. 17 combined homeruns were hit.

Nice, my Sale just got rocked by some early swinging guy who barely had a .500 record. I quit after three innings and a bunch of home runs. All star settings should be abolished completely, the outer PCI is about fifty times the size of the baseball.
I didn’t like Verlander much, nor Arrieta. I might try Lefty Grove out and see how he does next. Finest De Grom has been lights out for me so far, I’ll probably prestige him, Darvish and Bauer.

I SO a dude 19 times on all star today. Striking out dudes on all star is simple only if you study the guy to know what kind of pitches he cannot hit.

If you struck a dude out for 19 of 27 outs on all star, I’m willing to wager that the kind of pitches he couldn’t hit were all of them. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had 20+ Ks in a game, I’ve thrown perfect games on all star, it happens. But, regardless of the PCI not representing the barrel of a bat and all that insanity, the outer PCI represents the area for contact. If it’s twice the size of the entire strike zone and twenty five times the size of the baseball, surely there’s an issue of sorts here, no?

Awesome!!!
I got down 6-0 in my first RS, giving up 4 homers in one in game and robbing what should have been another (all off Verlander). Almost quit.
But scored 6 runs in the last 3 to tie than walked it off on a double in bottom of 10th to win 7-6. One of my more memorable games.

I played a guy who bunted every batter, stole every pitch and then on pitchouts got in rundowns every time. After 3 innings of this and a 3-2 score, he left the game on unattended and allowed me to score 39 more runs for my all prestigeable lineup. It was like winning at every turn of the slot machine. 3 lineouts or I would still be playing. You never know when playing a douche, they could be a beautiful douche!

HOF or all star? I’m having the exact opposite experience. OPS north of 1.300 but with and era approaching 7

I had this recently too. Luckily I'd got a lineup with the older Correa, Hanley and Didi cards that I'm still trying to prestige. Gave a very welcome boost to their stats. Wherever he/she is, thank you.
