I mean Berries got one for 13ks...

I feel like SDS opened up this can of worms on themselves. What really constitutes a Supercharge? Generally speaking we can't have nice things.

@jacky-chan1_xbl said in No supercharged Carpenter?:

Look, if you're a pitcher, with pitching coaches having scouting reports, knowing how average Carpenter has been, why would you pitch to like he is Judge?
It's obvious that he wasn't being pitched like he was going to hit Homeruns. I stand by what I said. Yankee stadium has always been a hitters paradise.

Same with Coors Field.

But what about the MLB Park factors where statistically San Francisco is more hitter friendly than New York ‍️

Mustache deserves a +10 across the board regardless.

@bodamescapeplan said in So no POTM for the best hitter in May Goldy?:

I never thought I'd see the day that someone was mad about not getting another Paul Goldschmidt diamond card. He is quite literally the Tom Glavine of hitters when it comes to how many different variations of cards he has received over the years and continues to receive. Although, I will say that I see no point to that 91 OVR card that just dropped awhile back. His Live Series is much better with the "active" Perks and Inside Edge.

The 17 Cedric Mullins cards last year set a bad precedent.

my god you guys are a broken [censored] record.

I realize it is a pain to see if you are not a fan of the Cardinals and it's cool to insult Cardinal fans but let's be honest, if Goldy played for any other team, then that teams fans would be complaining just as much. Nobody likes to see worthy players on their favorite team snubbed.

It will pass once it has been vented.

Kind of like Pujols, notice in his final year he is not getting NEAR the amount of red carpets in away games that Jeter or Ortiz got their final years, and he is a superior hitter to both, with far superior numbers.

Reason: Market

I didn't even think about this until an analyst brought it up on MLB Net, they would have buildings and statues if Pujols played in NY his career

In what world does Pujols have "far superior" numbers to Jeter?

Power numbers, sure. But to say he's "far superior" to Jeter is a ludicrous statement.

In the real world. I have watched and played baseball since the 70's. Cabrera and Pujols are two of the best hitters I have ever seen.

Jeter would have been nothing had he not played in NY. One of the most over-rated players ever. Wasn't even the best SS on his own team. A-Rod was a far superior defensive player.
Not in his own division. Nomar was far better. If you don't know this, your baseball knowledge is severely lacking.

Pretty sure his defense has nothing to do with his ability as a hitter but ok. Everyone chiming in here with their BS opinion about Pujols being "far superior" and no one has provided a single statistic to support that statement. And im talking actual batting statistics....not the stat nerd "what-if" numbers. ACTUAL statistics.

Where are the stats you have to support your statement? It's not other people's job to prove you wrong when you didn't provide a single shred of evidence lol.

Tell me you didnt read the previous posts without telling me you didnt read the previous posts. But i'll humor and post actual statistics.

ABs :
Jeter - 11,195
Pujols - 11,204

Runs :
Jeter - 1923
Pujols - 1883

Hits :
Jeter - 3465
Pujols - 3320

Doubles :
Jeter - 544
Pujols - 674

Triples :
Jeter - 66
Pujols - 16

Batting Average :
Jeter - .310
Pujols -.296

OBP :
Jeter - .377
Pujols - .375

Again, we all know Pujols has the power numbers so im not gonna bother there....but im still waiting for someone to show me the part where he is a "far superior" hitter in something other than power stats and GDP. Also, in the real world when someone makes a statement its usually up to them to support their statement. Ive asked multiple times to see examples but all they seem to do is say dumb [censored] like "durrr are u not olds enough to 'member this?"

And no idgaf about the BS "this stat adjusted for weather, ballpark size, pitchers throwing mechanics and crowd size" make believe nerd stats

So you set the parameters and what stats you are willing to accept. Confirmation bias, it's not worth anyone's time 🤪.

I'll humor for the sake of fun.

Albert Pujols is a 3 time MVP and a career bWAR of 99.4 to Jeter's 71.3. The production isn't even close despite the few stats you cherry picked, and they are miniscule. Jeter's best seasons offensively are ho hum compared to Albert.

Yea so Albert got zapped by injuries, but if you break down their primes, Albert was beating Jeter's brains out in every stat except triples and steals. More hits, more doubles, more HRs, higher OBP, higher Slug.

Heck Pujols has never struck out more than 93 times in a season. Jeter struck out over 100 times in 9 different seasons. For 10 straight season Albert had more BBs than strikeouts.

It was a bloodbath, flawless victory.

I cherry picked stats but you're gonna play the "what if" game and focus on 10 seasons. lol ok.

Again, i never said Jeter was better or "far superior" but y'all really sitting here acting like Jeter wasnt a great hitter..

It's totally ok to let the "i hate the Yankees" BS go for a minute and admit you would have taken him in your lineup 7 days a week.

You definitely said Albert wasn't that much better of a hitter than Jeter. In your bubble, that may be partially true. However you can't ignore specific numbers to support your claim. It's a pretty big deal for the majority of their careers Albert was outpacing Jeter in all those offensive categories you hold near and dear.

You just keep flipping this around. First it was "Albert wasn't that much better than Jeter, here's no evidence to support my opinion". Then naturally you lash out at everyone with opposing opinions for not producing evidence, despite you doing the same thing. Now you've pidgeoned holed yourself into only looking at stats you want to look at.

Max elevation stadiums are an opting because there will always be a max elevation, even if the max elevation was 2 feet, people could still make it that two feet which would make that stadium max elevation.

There is the max possible, and a max allowed. Surely there's a difference between the two you can decipher.

Theoretically, wouldn't the max possible be any number? Even just assuming real life earth then the highest is on the top of Everest.

The game caps at 5279 currently

Sure, and if the game caped at two feet, then two feet would be max elevation no?

Isn't there a difference in hitting at both elevations?

Why, why are they an option.? You nerfed Shippett, congratulations. Now give everyone on a next gen console the opportunity to make ones even worse.‍️

Are the state license plate

The only good advice I can give you on them is to use strike zone view. The sinkers on same handed match ups (right vs right or left verses left) will have to come back to the zone a little bit out of the hand to end up in the zone.

Go into custom practice and work on picking it up from the hand. It will at least help make sure you aren't swinging at ones out of the zone.

The artificial rise out of the hand is to allow the pitch recognition. We have no depth perception when hitting in a view behind the hitter. The caviat here, is those sinkers that go up in the zone should not hump from the hand and also flatten out.

There's a reason 4 seam fastballs up work, and sinkers don't. An elevated Sinker is not spinning the same way a four seam does. So up in the zone the pitcher has lost some spin rate and it will only break down slightly. It doesn't ride like a 4 seam and is why sinkers up get crushed more.

And to suggest the PAR penalty has done anything is foolish. There's already several pitchers in the game who can dot their sinkers up, just wait till the 99s start rolling in.

@h-town713-x1hqx_xbl said in Congrats SDS, timing only hitting has ruined this game:

I don’t get it if your good at zone hitting and you go up against a time hitter shouldn’t you win the majority of those games? Time hitting your relying on RNG where zone it’s all user skill input.

I okay timing cause I’m not good enough to hit with zone. When I okay online I get crushed by people who know how to hit with zone. I’ll get my occasional hit/ home run but it’s rare I’m lucky if I score more than 2 runs a game lol

You are missing the point. Regardless of how good I or anyone else is at zone hitting, allowing a setting where it literally eliminates a huge step that zone hitters use, place the pci. I’m not talking simply being “good or bad”, I’m talking about competitive balance. If we aren’t competing on the same playing field (having to place the pci vs not), then it’s a complete joke.

That's not really true though. Using zone hitting you control the PCI. This means if you are good with it, you can make Joey Gallo really good. Good luck hitting with Joey Gallo on timing.

@mjfc_363_psn said in Goldy splits:

I agree that Goldy rakes lefties, but 65 power vs right is just not true. It’s like Mookie last year. Card is unusable now.

It's reasonable though unfortunately. Goldy hasn't slugged close to .500 against RHP in several years. His ISO and AB/HR is not great either. His average is up over .300 though, his contact may go up again if he keeps rolling.

The three year weighted average is to start the year. Current season then starts to dictate the updates.

In Trouts case he's better now despite losing 1 overall. He's now better against LHP and he's always up on IE vs RHP.

I think the quick sell changes are the trade off for these more drastic attribute changes. For example, I bought quite a few Goldschmidt cards at 2,800 stubs or lower. He jumped to 88 overall today and QS goes for 5,500 stubs. That kind of adjustment never happened before.

The market would be boring and useless for LS cards if the only updated once a month.

All star difficulty is the absolute tragedy that needed to have foul tips adjusted. If I see another cutter almost clip the hitter's no no square get fouled off with that bogus swing animation, I'll stab my eyes out.
