I'm just curious which of the 2 will have the last word. Both seem pretty stubborn and willing to do what it takes to win this standoff.
He can have the last word, I blocked him. Probably should’ve done that a while ago. I apologize to most of the community for you guys having to put up with this petty bull [censored]. I just have a hard time with someone saying I suck and attacking my record, when they themselves do not come by their record honestly. I did take it a bit personally and carried on the argument way past its expiration point. My apologies to you and almost everybody else.

I can def back @The_Canuckler up on the home hunting thing. I don’t do it myself and I actually wish it wasn’t in the game, but I def get it. And it certainly doesn’t diminish his skill level. If he were to play on the road and get some bad connection game at an mlb park or something, he’d have the skill to overcome it and win, it’s just a miserable gaming experience. I put myself through it by playing road games and I’m still able to win most of the time, but it’s just much more frustrating, which is why a lot of people decide to home hunt.
Yet , you don’t home hunt. You know there is a disadvantage to being on the road and you do it anyways. I don’t check peoples records or know who these streamers are that you guys mention. From what I gather , people say you are good and yet have seen a brag post from you. You don’t brag and play on the road.
Furthermore, it’s your opinion that he can overcome it , but can he overcome it and the same win clip?hmmmm that’s the root of the criticism here. Bragging about a win record/stats that are driven primarily from home games at specific park of his choosing that he is well familiar with.
The other guy brags about his stats and in my opinion he doesn’t have much to brag about.
Anybody with a minor degree in psychology can tell you why , but spirit of Xmas. Let’s not destroy that guy’s fragile ego.

Just to summarize for the new readers...
"OP upset about a suicide bunt"
"Some people home hunt" (thank those that play at minute maid"
"Playing home games actuvates special quirks"

And if you do home hunt, don’t trash the record and skills of someone who doesn’t.

I still feel it is worth pointing out that 55% win percentage is nothing to make fun of someone for. The NY Yankees had a 55% win percentage this year. I think the best in MLB history is .70 something with the 2001 Mariners and a few other teams.
The kind of win percentages that the top players have in this game are not realistic at all, and well, who cares! I would expect that in a video game.

I don’t consider a winning percentage in the .500s good

I think the reason for this is mlbts is 1v1. One player controlling his team vs the other player. Irl, it’s a team sport, so lesser teams can beat better teams much more often especially if their guys get hot and the better team is cold.
Also, mlb teams are constantly playing the best competition, themselves. Always playing the best in the world. In mlbts, many of these top players dodge comp via FQ, which makes their records look much better. If top players were constantly playing each other, the records would be less ridiculous

I didn’t say anything about the OFs arm. I’m talking about your inability to make a perfect throw. It takes a whoooooooole lot less skill than hitting. I love seeing an opponent make an error. I can beat them almost every time, and I’m terrible.
Did you miss the part where I said I use buttons? It has nothing to do with ability. You press a button and the game does math to decide whether the throw is good or not. Ability does not enter into it.
Also, the thread is about bunting with a power hitter, not how good you are at defense.
If you use buttons, then you lack skill. Plain and simple.
The thread is about you whining about getting beat because someone chose to score off of you on a bunt after your lack of skill put a runner on third. It’s BR. You get that runner in.
Play with accuracy and you won’t have the problem. If I see someone make an error, I assume they suck.

Nice flex try.
You’re the only one stuck on the “test the defence’s arm” point.
That is not what the thread was about, but merry Christmas anyway!
I learned analog pitching this year. That was enough. Next year I’ll take on button accuracy.

Was it worth it for you to learn analog? I’ve been using meter since 06. Have been wanting to learn analog but the few times I’ve tried, I’ve gotten crushed, and went back to what worked for me. It’s apparently the way to go though. As far as button accuracy goes, to me the few extra errors I get a year from using button meter is a lot less than all the extra errors I would get from learning button accuracy early on. I could be wrong, but it doesn’t seem like that drastic of a change.
-
At first, it was a struggle for sure, but I realized I was not going to improve without committing to it. The thing I find about analog is that, despite the random results we’ve all sometimes experienced, I can still throw the occasional dot. With pulse, I find the result at best will be in the vicinity of where I’m aiming.
I think it was worth the effort to learn, but I do sometimes go back to pulse once and a while when I’m facing a good hitter, because it changes the pattern of how I miss.

The other part of this comment you make which I think is funny is, if you assume I suck because I made a throwing error, deciding to squeeze in a run with Harmon Killebrew is even more nonsensical.
“Hey, my opponent sucks! I’d better try and bunt with Killer!” (Said nobody ever).

Wait, is the actual perpetrator of bunting with the killer in this thread??

No, I don’t think so.
Buddy was just trying to argue that it was on me because I made a throwing error to put the runner on third in the first place.

Ah, that’s a bad take

Let’s be serious here, it worked for Jake Taylor. I don’t think he ever bunted in his career either but his epic swinging bunt to score Willie Mays Hayes won the Indians a World Series. Let’s not discredit the possibility that Killebrew wouldn’t have done the same thing.

I don’t see what the problem with bunting is when there’s a shift that counters it perfectly. Btw most of the people playing in December are the ones who would cheese.
Considering you have over 100 sac bunts this year, I’m not surprised to hear you say this.
What am I supposed to do when my pitcher is up lol

In RS it's pathetic. But in BR anything goes! And in events I'd probably do it if I was grinding it and thought it had a good chance of working. Time saved is a precious commodity sometimes!
I also have no issue with people doin it to me for the same reasons.However, the people that take the extra lead every pitch, the people that call time at the plate in EVERY 2 strike count (Yes, I experienced this very recently!), the practice swingers of years gone by, the bunt dancers, the habitual HR replayers, the ones that try to make u think a can of corn is a HR by sprinting towards the wall, and finally, the people who take the near maximum time between every pitch in a FUTILE attempt to fool the batter into thinking a PHAT one is coming right down the pipe via auto-pitch, did I cover everyone? Well........
They can all choke on a BBC!
Love,
Bill
Happy Holidays everyone.
You forgot the people that do not hit X in between batters and plays but instead watch the entire batter walk up animation.... press the button people!!
This about covers it for me. Can't stand you people, LOL. Bunt dancers are my worst enemy. If I'm in an event game and this happens they are getting a ball in the earhole and maybe the next one and maybe the next one. I will lose the game but it makes me feel better, lol. I'm weird I guess.

Um, wait for a good pitch to hit and swing away?
