TV, I have customized to where I have pretty low latency. I thought about a monitor but the problem is the closer I get the blurry everything gets. Farsightedness has really set in. I have also adjusted to fact there better times to play this game. For instance between 9 and midnight on Sunday evenings are unplayable not so much the game because the internet in the area of county I live is extremely congested. Mid week evenings and mornings through the afternoons are good so I play those times and avoid times that are congested.

I play with a monitor and wear reading glasses...

I hit 100% better with a monitor. But I really only set that up around weekend classics now. Otherwise, it’s the tv.

That's a pretty good idea, I'll probably try it with a relatively good inexpensive monitor first to see how I like it.

My favorite thing is when I’m playing in ranked and lose 2-1 or 3-1. Something like that and the opponent was a cheese ball bunt dancing, holding r2, running in circles under f8 cans of corn, and constantly going to the dugout on the pre-intentional walk screen, replaying their home run and they send me an unsolicited message saying I suck. I have started messaging them back saying Father Time is undefeated. They don’t get it. But one day they will.

It made a huge difference for me. Plus, it keeps me out of the main living room so I'm not bothering my wife. I only have 1.25 readers, so my vision's not terrible yet, but it's so much clearer with them.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS you were born after 2010, weren’t you? Hint: we already know the answer to this.

Some of us have been playing the show longer than many of the younger crowd has been alive. Also, imagine a world where your phone was attached to the wall and you didn’t even know what the internet was and over the course of a summer you played over five hundred nine inning wiffle ball games and a full little league/all star season at the same time, and your parents never watched a single practice unless your dad was the coach. But on a rainy summer day you and your buddies played rbi baseball until your nes could heat up a cup of ramen. That was what us 40 year olds remember. That and chasing a ‘89 upper deck card card #1.

Oh how I remember those days. My brother, our friends and I would get my dad's tennis balls and use them for baseballs remember feeling like Jose Conseco hitting nukes.
It was all about that Griffey Jr RC and the Score Barry Sanders RC those were the 2 I chased hard for.

It took me a bit but I started to be able to hit on legend and got over 1000 rating this year and I am 42 years old. I turn 43 in a few months. I am just inconsistent though depending on the game, the day, and really how much sleep I get.

I'm in a similar boat, 46 years old. I quit playing online a couple years ago because of my reaction time and vision getting significantly worse and feeling like I couldn't compete anymore like I used to. This year, I started playing again because I liked the online program rewards and weekend classic but had the perspective of not caring if I win or lose, just wanting to make progress for the online program rewards. I surprised myself and found I can still compete better than I thought and made World Series again a couple of times. I also found that it was still quite fun to play online when I'm not stressed about winning or losing. Maybe take a break and just do offline stuff and then come back to online refreshed and try to just play for fun.

@lhubison58_xbl I can go back even further than that! (Not giving my age! Ha ha)
Started with Strat-o-Matic baseball. Round discs and a spinner for the win! Played many full seasons of Orioles baseball that way.
Graduated to APBA baseball game. Cards and dice and charts! Was in many fantasy leagues playing that one.
Thought it was a “brave new world” when APBA came out with a PC/Mac version on a COMPUTER!!
