What’s with the Friendly Quits???
-
I never ask for a friendly quit, even when I'm down 15-0 going into the bottom of the 2nd with the mercy rule hanging over my head. It ain't over until the fat lady sings - thanks, Yogi.
-
Most people only use it when they get matched up with Kluber for the thousandth time
-
I never ask for them once a pitch has been thrown, but I’ll occasionally ask for one at the start of if it’s a pitcher I hate or is repetitive (I actually don’t hate seeing Kluber...but don’t wanna play him 3x in a row).
I don’t see an issue with asking for one at the start...but also don’t see an issue with declining. What sucks is when you decline and the person resorts to various forms of jackassery.

Yeah that’s always very annoying. My advice is that if you decline that friendly you better be ready for a sweaty game cause that player will be very motivated to beat you and prove you wrong.

Totally - occasionally someone will deny my request, which doesn’t really bother me, and then I’ll drop 3 or 4 on them in the first...and THEY ask for a friendly. At that point: hard pass for me, bro.
-
I forgot to mention, the FQ come from guys with Kluber and Hal starting. I don't have either one and won't until I hit prestige.

Or sometimes somthing comes up and you have to leave. What’s the big deal. Accept the friendly quit and you’ll be in another game in 45 seconds. Would you want someone to accept for you if the game hasent started?
-
I think I’m like 55-17 so almost every single game I get offered a FQ when I try RS
If it’s Kluber I likely accept bc I hate sinkers all game long

If something comes up in any game I'm playing, I stop playing and handle my business.
If you have that much going on, turn off your PS4.

I swear you deny that request and boom they score 3 runs lol
@WDK19 The friendly quit curse. :). This has happened to me before also.

I denied someone's request in an event game. He scored 4 in the first inning... I scored 11 in the 4th, before he quit.

Yeah but it’s 80% of the time in ranked seasons. This community is slow but I’m sure more than 20% of us know where we’re suppose to be at any given moment.
If this was the actual issue, SDS could just gift 1 or 2 friendly quits per year to everyone for that extremely rare time something happens. Your opponent would get the win and you get a wash, will see how often people actually had something come up or how often they thought the game might not be a blow out for them.

Lol. You think you have it all figured out. For example. Sometimes I get into a game and my dog come gets me to let him out. Being where I live I have to take him out for a few minutes and stay till he is done. . Wouldn’t it be mean if I made him wait 40 mins? Things happen bro. That is exactly why there is a friendly quit in the game.

Nobody gets asked 80% of games for a friendly quit. All I play is RS and that’s not true.

My dog going out is more important than the friendly quit. I quit. Why ask for the friendly when they can count it down.
Point is, if something comes up, wear the loss and leave.

Oh I do every time. I couldn’t care less about my record. But friendly quit is there. The least you can do is try. A lot of Lvl headed ppl usually take it if there wasent a pitch thrown

See, that's the issue. Before a pitch is thrown, we're seeing over 50% FQ, even in the 600's. There aren't that many dogs that need to go out.

Yeah well I mean I don’t ask if I’m afraid of the team. I used that example to shine light on an organic situation that may happen like that. And btw. My dog drinks so much water you don’t understand. He makes me take him out twice a night. He’s a biological machine.

And beside what does it matter what rank your at? It doesn’t knock you down. The worst that happen is you “waste” 30 seconds of your life getting into that game.
