Also surprised nobody has brought up rampant quitting to play lesser competition in RS. Admittedly, I do that because I have no chance of making WS.
I do it too for multiple reasons. If I’m matched up against deGrom, Walter Johnson, Burnes or Arrieta……see ya I’m out you can have the W. Not that I can’t beat ‘em, I’m positively sick of seeing them. Which means I quit half my games before the first pitch lol. Also once I get to 750 I’m out cuz HOF is absolutely zero fun for me. Isn’t that the point of the game to have fun?

Pretty much how I approach it as well. Random connection issues plus outlier plus the same pitchers over and over. When I play WS Banner Bros. in BR, I'm about .500, which I think is meaningful: the META and reaction times (I'm 47) rule.

Don't watch replays of your homers.
It just makes me angry, focus more, and come back to beat you.
Hey, wait... -
I have to add one more here…the constant pausing during event games. Dude, it’s 3 innings..what are you analyzing?

I get the initial pause to get you’re bullpen up. But yeah what ya gonna analyze in a 3 inning game lol.

The ultimate unwritten rule, don't score a bunch of runs and hold me to none....that's no fun.

Here’s one for me, don’t quick pitch my pitcher when you know darn good and well I’m gonna pinch hit for him!! Omg that is so cowardly!

Don’t take an extra step lead with a speed guy over and over after I have shown I am paying attention and will either throw over or step off. It’s their right to do it, but once I show I am not giving it we can play the game for 20 minutes.
Bro I’m right there with ya. I’ll throw to first all and all night. Hope they got some time cuz I’ll make it miserable if they pull that garbage.
Glad we are kindred spirits here. So much I find annoying, but nothing will make me dig in than someone pulling this BS ( back when I allowed messages, these people would text me to quit being toxic as they keep this charade going

A little off topic; but if your opponent throws 3 straight pitches outside the zone to make it 3-0; do you take at least the next one or two pitches, to see if they'll either walk you or make it a 3-2 count; or do you swing away in that fourth pitch?

Are you asking for a green light? LOL

I usually take as one of my goals is to take quality at bats.

Are there runners on?

To me it does. Unless a solo shot will win the game, I’m probably taking 3-0.

I feel as if the game nerfs 3-0 swings (I never seem to get hits 3-0 but that’s just me) so I take at least one pitch.
