@JenkinMeyer_PSN I think a good Supan could be nasty.

Then maybe a Chris Carpenter. Once Waino gets done with the whatever terms it involves to not be in game anymore

Gibson
Carpenter
Wainwright

Insert whoever after

Suppan
Carlton
May*

Now we’re cooking with grease

Daryl Kile would be too much to ask for. He taught Waino

Don't get me started on pencil or crayon bat - Ill sign any petition to have it banned. Good grief, there's so many cool bats- stop picking those!

Ps: I'd rather face Miz or Degrom than Halladay or Ubaldo (or Clemens or Leiter definitely). Movement is more deadly than velocity.

Man if they do a postseason Suppan

I kind of forgot about Jim Kaat, old Cardinal and annoying as hell to face if the sinker is rocking. Pretty much Valenzuela.
So much offspeed. Not in game but I think it’s essentially 4 curveballs and a sinker for Kaat

Miz or deGrom, Coors field, at least 7 switch hitters. Every game in ranked.

And in Events... which is why SDS needs to get a little creative about roster restrictions in Events.

Switch hitters are meta, it negates shrinkage. As for the SS in the outfield, they have speed and aren’t punished for playing out of position.

They are punished, it’s just similar to a secondary penalty. It’s by design. You can play catchers out of position at 1B. SS can also play 2B. CF can play the corners etc.

None of these things are exploits.

What SS is better in CF than an outfielder that actually plays there? I mean, there are plenty of speed outfielders who are pretty damned good.

So, an exploit for not being punished playing out of position. I rest my case.

@x-814-x-MAFIA-x_PSN these aren't exploits. I can't win so i'll find something to make myself feel better. Just state that. That makes way more sense.

How is playing a SS thst has never played in the outfield not an exploit?

The inside-breaking cutter and slider has become the toughest pitch to deal with in the game. A lot of people slam inside sinkers now (even same side), and they'll rake that low-away slider.

Yesterday played a guy that had 7-9 switch hitters!! It sucks for sure and for a game that claims realism, this game is anything but close to real!!! It’s annoying but I get it because sds shoves switch hitters down our throats and they are all good. As far as everything else I’ve pretty much gave up on caring since nothing will ever get fixed and I only play to complete the programs and then I don’t have to play online after that. It’s a requirement to have an iq of 80 or less to work at SDS it’s basically a giant make a wish program.

They may be annoying or even cheesy but not exploits

Absolutely correct. Now one thing to someone's point above- the ball dies a ton almost anywhere else this is irrefutably true... but to that I say "adjust your approach". Some looking for long ball and start playing baseball. Score runs by manufacturing them. CPU pitchers in MS love going up and away with fastballs...slap those puppies down the line and if you've got anyone with over 20 speed it's almost a guaranteed double.

I've also found utilizing our bench players seems to be a bit more important this year too. Don't like the match up? Go to a bench player for better splits. I'm having a hard time hitting dingers this year for the most part because the pitching accuracy changes with the breeze...but I'm not having a hard time with winning- at least not against the CPU.

I played 4 RS games yesterday to rack up some "innings" for the rewards path. Every game I faced Misiorowski. It was painful.

Do people not realize there are probably thousands of different stadiums that play just as well or way better than Coors field in the vault available to download and play. Absolutely zero thought, just click Coors field. Everytime I see Coors field it reminds me of some 60 iq person subscribing to YFK and giving him money. Now, I always say do what you want with your money but I would rather burn it or flush it down the toilet. You could give that money to a homeless person, charity, etc. I don't understand giving money to grown [censored] men that don't want to get a real job.
