It’s not about reaction times or hitting DeGrom. I was early on outliers plenty.
The point of the post, since someone questioned it, is, that it’s December way at the end of the cycle. Why not try using some other pitchers?
After all, on All Star, you can get people out with a variety of pitchers. Hell, I run all sorts of lineups out there. Sure, I lost to P5 DeGrom with a grind squad of postseason players. I had my chances but couldn’t cash in.
I get that people want to win, but I don’t think you are really doing yourselves any favours this way.
If I had a P5 I'd wanna use him.
Its weird but when I get my guys to P5 I stop using them lol. And start working on some more. Its like something I have to do to complete the game or something. Only P5 I keep using is Vlad Guerrero. Because there isnt anyone that can replace him.
I have a ton of P5 players ( probably 30 plus), but like you, once they hit mark are seldom used
You have me beat almost three-fold Wyatt. I have 13 with 10 of them being 99's.

My DeGrom is not even P1 and I took him out of the rotation.
I guess, sure, it’s a valid way to play, but I just think it is a bit weak at this point of the year. I mean, everyone likes to win, but we were in the 600’s so it’s not like it was his WS game or anything.
That’s just me.

I felt the same way a few months ago when it felt like I was facing degrom every other game, it was super annoying. However, at this point in the game cycle I think people should use whoever they want. He's a top 5 pitcher and there's only a few months left in the game's life. My degrom is at P3, but I rarely use him anymore. I'll still pull him out every now and then for fun though and I don't begrudge anyone who still uses him at this point.

A bit on a tangent, but y’all ever seen a P5 reliever? I don’t think I’ve seen a single one.
I have both Eckersley and Rivera at P5. Pitchers are the easiest to get because both their pitching and batting count.
That must’ve taken major grinding because they don’t pitch all game

@OreoRockstar_PSNNot that you guys asked for this, but I rarely get to share. Here’s my P5 collection:
Pitchers: Ohtani, Maddux, Pedro, Nolan, Lefty, Darvish
Batters: Griffey, Mays, Hank, Jackie, JMorgan, Mantle, Gehrig, Honus, Murray, Chipper, Papi, Piazza, Soriano, LWalker, Kemp, Mookie, Wander, Adley, Yelich, Lindor, BReynolds, Polanco, Ketel, Schwarber, Albies, Grandal, Trout, JDominguez, SFinley, BRoberts, RMauricioThe icing on that P5 is just too pretty.

Eckersley wasn't too bad. I was the 262 person to get him to 5. He can hit and I would pitch him for at least 3 innings, so that helped a lot (I have a few HRs with him). Rivera took a lot longer.

Every time I look at my pen. Milestone goose. Have 5-6 others at P4, but not targeting them specifically for the bump.

That's a nice collection! I almost have Hank, Mays, Honus, Schwarber, and Trout to P5.

Fair Enough.
I think more than facing the P5 DeGrom, maybe what I was reacting to is the feeling of fighting the game and my opponent at the same time.It’s just super frustrating when you pick up your opponent’s tendencies, get the pitch you’re looking for, put a good swing on it, and get zero results.
This happens no matter which pitcher you might be facing, I suppose.

I have over a dozen p5 but my best bullpen is p3 Rivera. Rest are all p2 or lower.

I do it to [censored] off cry babies and make them quit to give me easy wins.

I've got Goose to P5, Dibble is almost there.

For guys like me, in my 40's, outlier is a killer. Reaction time isn't there anymore. So if I can't hit DG or any of the outlier players, that's why. Not because I don't know what's coming.
Reaction time being relative to age is a real thing, and it sucks.
Try being 60 and doing it...
This rule doesn't apply to @TEXAS10PT_PSN though...he says he's old but he sure doesn't play like it
LMAO....I have turned on DeGrom a few times. I'll be 67 in three months and I'm in my Prime hahahahaha
67 and playing online video games? That's pretty cool! If I live to be that age I hope I can be like that.

How many times do you bat with a RP???

I'm lost and trying to understand the point of this thread. You're upset because someone is using DeGrom? Upset because someone is using a card released earlier in the year? Upset because someone was using a P5 player?
Edit: DeGrom not Detroit like AC put!

@halfbutt_psn said in To all you guys using P5 DeGrom in AS:
Guess what, you’re not that good.
If you need to pitch P5 DeGrom for 8 2/3 and then bring in Mariano Rivera for the last out, you’re kinda missing the point imo.Sure, winning is fun, but don’t kid yourself.
Uhh, thats baseball. The nerve of that guy to use Degrom, and Mario to close it out.

The point of this thread is the point of every thread on this forum: discussion about this video game. That’s why this is called a discussion forum.
I’m not “upset” about anything. I made a comment about using P5 DeGrom in a meaningless ranked game in December. Some other people expressed differing opinions.
There is no “right” or “wrong” or “winning” in discussion forums. Sometimes this seems to get lost on some of you.
Anyway, seasons greetings to everyone.

Very well. I got Trout and that's the only reason I played RS this season.

I’m also sick of seeing deGrom but I don’t [censored] about it, I just quit. One night I started 10 games and ran into deGrom 7 out of 10. I just quit. Don’t even ask for a friendly. At this point who cares??
