u could with that attitude.

I mean, it sounds like you have a worse attitude right now...

Have you ever been frustrated at a company when you bought something and then you noticed they did something wrong with your order/item you bought/service and then they say "Im sorry there is nothing we can do for you"...? Would you have liked it if at that moment that happened to you I said to you, " Sounds like you have a bad attitude right now"... ???

Yes, but this isn't the case in this situation. No one ever said it goes in any order if the top price is a tie. Or at least I have never heard SDS say that. Perhaps it is random when the top bid is a tie?

The rules are pretty clear in the Terms Of Service, subsection 14(a): “In the event that two players enter an identical bid on the Marketplace, the winning bid shall be given to the player who has tagged the least amount of SDS staffers in the community forums.”

@midnightdt_mlbts said in Showdown made me uninstall the game (feedback):

Bro it's feedback to help improve the game. I freely admitted that I'm not good and guess what I'm not the only person who's not good at the game there's probably a whole lot of us. Your comment is not constructive or helpful at all.

Some people can be pretty cold here, don’t sweat it. It’s like tough love, only without the love, ha. I struggled heavily with Showdowns at first last year. Half of the problem was that I would get too amped up over the “all or nothing” aspect, and that made me impatient.

• Slow down the game, take some pitches, and try to wait for something elevated in the zone. If you have a runner on 1st, sit lower in the zone so that you don’t hit into a DP.
• Know your bosses and whether you need to build a team of primarily lefties, righties or a mix of both.
• If you can, get some speed for your bench. When you have a few outs left and your catcher gets a hit, you need someone who can swipe a bag.
• Very importantly, pick the right perks, and swap them based on the challenge. This can make a huge difference. Perks that give you a boost when losing are nice, but usually only help against bosses, but perks that give you an exit velo / contact boost in 2-strike counts (for example) can help on every single hitting challenge. Especially if you stack two or more of the same thing.

You’ll get there.

At first I used to think it was crazy that people would spend hundreds if not thousands on one year of the game... but it all depends what you get out of it. If you play 1,000 hours a year of MLBTS and truly enjoy it, then spending $1,000 is actually cheap, safe entertainment. Few fun things in life cost $1 an hour.

And for some people, they can say “I earn X dollars per hour at my job, and grinding would take me 100 hours to get what I want... isn’t it just cheaper in a time/money perspective for me to buy stubs and skip the grind?” Which yeah, it very well might be.

As you said, life can be short and nobody is promised anything. Just do what brings you enjoyment while you’re here. I like the feeling of grinding out a reward, but everyone should find what works for them and not worry so much about what other people do or don’t do.

Dyk vaccines companys face no liability? They operate with immunity.

I just wanted to point out that I loved the irony of this line. It’s like a joke you would read on the back of a cereal box.
“Q: Do you know why vaccination companies face no corporate liability?
A: It’s because they operate with immunity!” (B’dum-tiss!)

Locastro on the D-backs.

Are flat earthers allowed to be Rangers fans, with Globe Life Field and all?

I still can’t get over the fact that they lost 21 of the 22 games you attended.

If I covered your expenses, would you go to every Yankees game from here on out?

I do contractual work for a number of metal bands and labels (not so much hard rock, but more thrash, prog, death and black metal).

Joe Random. Just... Joe Random.

Which team will Moonlight Graham play for?

I would have loved it if you filed suit, though. “Good news, Mr. Ward. Sony have acquiesced to our demands, and so I am happy to present you with a refund for $99.99. You will also find enclosed our invoice for $2,400 for our legal services. Please make the check out to our firm, Dewey, Cheatem & Howe.”

@tomivory23_psn said in Who let a blind otter design the All Star uniforms?:

Still to this day the best All star uniforms in the history of Mlb was when they would wear their own teams uniforms with an all star patch. Call me old school but I loved seeing a Yankee complete a double play by throwing to a Red Sox player.

It's the only time u see opposing uniforms working together on the same field. Showing the true unity of American League vs National League.

I just made a tear come to my own eye.

That’s true. MLB All-Stars should always wear their team’s own unis. In the NBA, NFL of NHL games you might get confused with the new faces in the heat of the moment and pass/throw to/ignore the wrong guy, but it’s not like you can confuse a runner with a fielder in baseball.

But as bad as the ASG unis were, the official limited ASG bobbleheads for each team designed by FOCO were even worse. Don’t even look them up if you don’t want eye cancer.

Run a bath? I just walk downstairs and start playing. Women want confident take charge men. Don't be rude or mean but be the man of the house. Later this year will be our 19th.

Yeah, women love the kind of confident, take-charge alpha male who does whatever he wants, responsible for all his own actions, and then who spends years complaining on Internet forums about match-up latency issues on a baseball videogame. “Oh, d_e_m_i_s_e,” your wife must purr, batting her lashes, “once you're done instructing other strangers how to live their lives, please tell me again about the deficient ping rates this Ranked Season. And then leave your toenail clippings in the shower again… just like a real man of the house.”

@calisgw_psn said in Switch Hitters:

I still love adley over both of them

I was reluctant to use Adley since his numbers don’t match up to a couple other catchers, but he’s done nothing but rake for me. Doubles into the gaps, over and over.

Jeter was a great hitter, but for the entirety of his career, by every advanced fielding metric, he was a below average fielder. Not even average — he was actually a liability with his glove. Garciaparra was better. J.J. Hardy was much better. Jeter hit his way to the Hall Of Fame, but it had zero to do with his defense.

I have never pulled Trout from any pack in 7 years of playing. I don’t buy stubs and don’t buy packs unless I’m filthy in stubs and bored, but considering that you get hundreds of packs each year from all the grinding and XP, you think it might have happened once. But… dear Penthouse, nope.

Within 5 TA packs this year, I did get LS Chapman and a 2nd Half Maddux. Earlier I had two LS diamonds in back-to-back normal packs. From more than enough experience, I also believe TA packs are even better than Gold Is A Habit packs. Never buy those.

@baboon-fangs_xbl said in SDS calls you get to make 3 cards....what are they?:

2003 Eric Gagne Prime
1986 Mark Eichhorn Breakout
1996 Brady Anderson Breakout

That Eichhorn card would be on my list too. He had an insane year in ‘86. And typically gets overlooked — even then he had a 7.3 WAR season, and finished 3rd in Rookie Of The Year (!) behind Canseco and Joyner.

@theblindrhino said in Derek Jeter's defense wasn't as bad as you think.:

@genopolanco_psn said in Derek Jeter's defense wasn't as bad as you think.:

Who ever said he is the worst defensive shortstop ever?

Wasn’t me because the answer is Jose Offerman.

I would say Johnny LeMaster but solid arguments can be made for either one.

To the OP, Jeter was OK at catching what he got to, but every single advanced fielding metric says he was a below average shortstop for his entire career. Range, runs saved, you name it. Bronze fielder would be appropriate, honestly.

What is that?

FOR A FEW YEARS NOW THEY WOULD ADD EXTREME VARIANTS OF DD MODES THAT HAVE ADDED DIFFICULTY AND GREATER REWARDS. WHILE THAT'S HARDCORE, I WANT THEM TO BRING BACK THAT ONE PROGRAM THAT HAD YOU BEATING THE BEST VERSIONS OF EACH TEAMS AND GETTING GOOD REWARDS, SUCH AS SIG SERIES TORII HUNTER AND VLAD GUERRERO SR.
AND IF YOU WANT TO GET EXTREME YOU NEED TO POST EXTREME, TURN ON THOSE CAPS LOCK YOU BABBIES

I rolled my eyes at the all caps post at first, but then I saw what you were doing. I did like those higher-difficulty challenges, too. Bring ‘em back.
