Texas10PT and Blind Bleeder aren’t just super cool older MLB players ( and Tex is a bad a** player) , but 2 of the best all
Around guys I have gotten to know on this board. Proud that I can call Them friends. -

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.
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.
How many times do you bat with a RP???
Hopefully twice minimum if I pitch them 3 innings so they get the save (additional PXP for saves).

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'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!
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.
I agree about the point of discussion forums I sincerely was confused at your point but you clarified it a little more although I disagree with it. If you consider ranked games meaningless then I guess all online games are meaningless?
Season greetings back at ya.

Kudos to you, that is dedication! SP are pretty easy to parallel but not RP since I pitch them shorter than 3 innings and rarely bat with them.

I do it to [censored] off cry babies and make them quit to give me easy wins.
How is that working for you?
Very well. I got Trout and that's the only reason I played RS this season.
Awesome!

Season greetings back at ya.
I guess I approach ranked games differently than many, Especially at this time of year.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to win, but I generally avoid exploits and tactics I feel are cheap. The only cheap I like is Cheap Trick.
A game in the 5-600’s to me is not so imperative to win that I will change HOW I play but I get that Trout is on the line for some of you.

Apologies if I missed this earlier in the thread but what was the exploit and/or cheap tactics associated in the game with the P5 DeGrom you played?

Don’t blame other people who use their best cards. They play to win, just like people do in any game on Earth.

Kind of like what Grandma Shirley does now with her Skyrim play-throughs.

I think there are a bunch of guys that dont even know you on this thread. Lots of newbies these days, which I think is ok for next year.

I’ve got Kluber P5 #76, oh and all the other META pitchers are P5 as well. And my whole god squad line up is P5 to include my bench. Oh and my entire relief core is P5. I’m thinking you guys probably don’t want to play my team. Sorry but I had to troll this thread. Lol

I get the impression I wouldn't want to play your team anyway because you would probably work me with an inferior team of bronzes much less your suped up p5 God squad. But who knows, maybe that would be good for me to improve.
I enjoyed the troll job anyway

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.
I’m 50, so I know exactly what you mean.
