Gonzo won it in what may have been the ultimate childhood fantasy season: hit 57 homers, hit the game winner in Game 7 of the World Series off Mo Rivera, won the HR Derby and, in doing so, won a house for a dude in a wheelchair. Now THAT’S a season!

“Fantasy” being the main point 💉

Wait...are you saying Major League Baseball players, particular in the 90s and early 2000s, used performance enhancing drugs?

Lmao if you’re arguing that Walker is better than Bonds you lose any credibility you ever had. Bonds is the best player to ever play the sport.

Imagine people saying that about Altuve, but you won't, because Altuve had a trash can. But you support a guy that used illegal drugs for half his career. Find your priorities, think about what your saying, edit the comment, and we will visit this again in the future

There was a trash can bang in 14 of Altuves 700 plus plate appearances in 2017. Correa has stated that Altuve did not want the bangs and would get pissed and get in guys faces when it did happen. I'm an Astro fan and what they did was wrong. But Altuve is not the dude yall should be pissed at. People have made him the face of this scandal. It's just dumb bc he plays the right way, is a good dude, and was against it. The face of this scandal should be Beltran and Cora.

If he was against it, he would have said something. He kept quiet and gladly accepted a ring. Nice try, but if you see something that you know is wrong, you speak up. If not, you're as guilty as everyone else.

Ok. Well everyone from the mid 90's through 2005 is guilty of steroid use then bc they all knew it was going on

Absolutely, and they testified about it to congress, wrote books about it, etc. Of course they are guilty, as is Altuve.

Cool. I guess I disagree with you. I personally like the way Altuve handled it. He went to the guys who were doing it and said he disagreed with it and didn't want to be a part of it. He didn't go to the media or rat out his teammates. And when they got caught, he never denied being a part of it. Took responsibility for not stopping it. Never put himself above the team. I'm sure he will be the leader of this team going forward. The fact is a trash leader who had just spent a couple years with a trash franchise came to the Astros in 2017 and influenced a bunch of young guys to cheat, telling them other playoff teams were doing it too. I'm not making excuses for them, but the whole thing doesn't change my opinion about one of the best dudes in MLB.

I've never met him, and I doubt you have. Neither of us know if he's "one of the best dudes in MLB".

We do know he was part of a scandal and failed to be an adult and report it.

I’m definitely no Astro’s fan (even before the scandal), but not reporting it doesn’t mean he “failed to be an adult.” I actually respect the fact that he didn’t snitch on his teammates, even though he disagreed with what they were doing. And like dude said, when questioned about it, he didn’t deny that it happened.

Also, saying players who didn’t snitch about steroids are guilty is just asinine. I bet you’d be real fun to hang out with. If anyone does anything fun, you probably run to the nearest police station!!

Except, people did talk during the steroid era. They went all the way to the federal government and testified publicly. The rest of what you said is a philosophical discussion on morals. If you see an action that hurts others, my moral compass says it's my job to protect innocent folks from harm. Yours says "bros before..." well you know the rest.

Cool, good luck with that.

If I get to plug in a 99 Bichette at SS, my head will explode

Not sure this means much but has to count for something. But on the show nation website if I goto inventory it shows a 99 no bichette.

@Blue7_Gaming said in TA Points question:

I think you need 60 wins to get full points in the first half.

I had 67 wins at all-star break. I got 15 points for it. I guess if I was playing Legends, it would have given me 17?

In that case I really don’t know. Sorry bud.

@squishiesgirl said in Never felt so hopeless pitching before:

@CCCStunna30 said in Never felt so hopeless pitching before:

I get they are trying to improve hitting but the timing window and pci size was never the issue. It was the results from good pci giving good/okay on dead center pci, good/squared up outs when the other guy gets early/slightly rolled or late/jammed hits in key moments. Pitching is so broken with good results going right down the middle or missing just off the plate. Pitching to the corners is useless because good results are almost always balls. Pitching has always been what has kept me able to compete with high level guys, now in this event dots are no doubt homers, feels like your throwing BP no matter what you do. I haven’t competed yet on hall of fame to see if that is better but all star is a joke now

The changes to hitting is not the problem, they need to fix the pitching. Not the hitting

Unfortunately, it's the same issue every year. Pitching is like #6 on the priority list. I think stadium/team colors rank higher. You would think after all these years, someone would have spent some time working on the program to fix it.

I don't think the borderline non calls were ever this bad

switch hitting pitchers are not eligible I just checked

Second this, just checked. Can only use his Breakout starter

@CCCStunna30 said in Here’s my thought on a fix:

First off, thank you sds for making this game and all the work that’s put into it and dealing with gaming community’s that want everything perfect. But my thought to address some of the issues is to adjust hitting close to what it was pre patch. Seen a lot of good/okay on squared up balls and other little things. With that I think pitching needs an overhaul. Too many good user inputs that result in poor pitches whether it ends up down the middle or a foot outside the strike zone. To me this will help balance out the gameplay. That way guys that can hit can still hit and compete and guys that deal can compete and of course guys that can do both are the elite. In the past I have definitely been a pitch first guy and not a good hitter, but I’ve worked a lot on my hitting and have seen a major improvement in my ability to hit, but now I feel like all I’m waiting on to lose a game is a random curve or changeup that I get a good release on end up hanging over the middle for a big homerun. I understand that it is a lot of effort and a challenge to get the algorithms right, and appreciate the game even more now that California is on a shelter in place as it’s given me a lot of entertainment when I’m stuck at home. So thank you!

And now it’s time for the community to shred my post apart! Lol

OK, you asked for it...

Funny how you brown-nose SDS and portray the community as a nuisance for wanting everything perfect, as if striving for perfection is such a bad thing.

And then you suggest a fix, which basically, you're just repeating what's already been said...so by default, doesn't that make you part of the same community that wants everything perfect? LOL. Yeah, we see you....right through you, that is.

Anyhow, IMO, I believe the more appropriate word would be 'improvement.' We would like to see improvements within the game's flaws that are so obvious.

I find it funny that everytime someone posts something praising SDS for their work that you immediately call it brown nosing. I mean if giving someone the props they deserve is brown nosing than I will do it too cause the people who put this game together work tirelessly from September to March every year doing all the motion captures, rendering, animations and tweaking of gameplay before they send the game out to ensure its even playable. Its not at all their fault if a patch breaks something in the game cause they're trying to fix things. That's how coding works. Yet you choose to talk down to this and every other person who posts something?

Stop trying to shred everyone who praises SDS and find a new hobby cause honestly you have too much time on your hands if you can sit on this forum and bully people for their opinions.

How dumb are you? Just read the last line of the initial post. So I jokingly, yet truthfully responded.

Also, read the first response to this post by Decker, but you chose to single me out. Yeah, I'm such a bully, OK. LOL. And yet, here you are talking down to me....what a hypocrite.

@mgsfan222 said in PS4 pro worth getting?:

Depends how much you value picture quality and If you play VR. I will say that I upgraded when the pro came out and I definitely remember the PS VR quality increasing by a ton over the standard. Outside of that, however, I don’t think it’s must have.

Did you notice any difference in pitch speeds or being able to read pitches?

I don’t think so, but I picked up the pro at launch years ago, and I played on a monitor back then. It’s hard to recall.

I have the first model pro too. Thing sounded like a jet taking off, so I put new thermal paste on it and it calmed down a lot. Every now and then it'll ramp up, but it's only for a couple mins then the fan slows back down. It used to stay running loud for as long as I played the game. Lol not anymore thankfully
