Tip: If you don't play any of the mini-challenges, you can beat a showdown in 15-20 minutes.

    Just draft a lefty-heavy team since there's a 67% chance of a RHP. Take a couple fast guys (I like bronze Jon Berti) and get the drag bunt quirk. Bat one of them leadoff for a free hit 70% of the time.

    I can win the showdown starting 0-12 most of the time. The goal is to keep the number of runs + runners in scoring position to equal or less than the amount of outs you have made. For example, if you have 10 outs left, you want to have at least 5 runs + risp.

    I just won my recent one with 10 outs left starting down 12-0.

    I have been mostly doing the showdown half of all the way through. Have you noticed being walked much? I’ve probably played 12/13 and think I’ve been walked twice. Although I’m usually down by 2 or so and just hit a few tanks

    I almost never walk to be honest, maybe twice in every three final showdowns I play, but usually I actually need to earn a good 13 hits

    I played one all the way through and only needed 3 or 5 runs to win it and all the way through only took 30-35 min

    Not that it is a huge deal.... But the showdowns are pretty easy and if you skip you are leaving 1,100 free stubs on the table... Well, minus the 500 entry fee. so 600.

    No because I'll complete 2 in the same time it takes you to do one + I finish TA faster

    I heard inning 1 showdown was much easier this year then last (mostly on rookie and veteran). Can anyone confirm this.

    They haven't released the 1st Inn Showdown yet.

    It's not supposed to be released until Tues.

    The only ones they have now at TA and Starter.

    Starter helps towards that Gold Mantle and it's just like last year's one that gave you a Gold George Brett.

    I can’t skip to the final boss. It’s “locked”. Anyone know why?
