It started on Sunday evening, where I won four straight games (still amazed) to get into World Series for the first time since MLB19. Last year, I was so worried about my overall record that I'd hit CS and stop playing. It's also the first cycle of MLB that I am actually playing on a monitor instead of a TV, and you can definitely tell the difference.
Then yesterday afternoon, I played BR and got matched up against Koogs while he was streaming, first playing a streamer, and managed a 4-1 win. I thought it was a knockoff account, but I sent a picture to a group of friends, and they responded it was him, and he was streaming. I definitely went back and watched it back 
My advice for those struggling, which helped me on my 4 game streak into WS:
- Play MTO before each RS game to reset yourself and timing
I did this completely out of the blue on Sunday, I started a MTO with the Reds on dynamic (HOF+) because they aren't the best and have to get your PCI right with a few of the hitters to get a hit. I did it before my first game on Sunday and it worked, then the superstition kicked in, and had to do it before each one. I did 2-3 moments depending on how long they were. But it was a good change of pace because it let me reset my timing for each game and the ball comes in a little faster offline w/ HOF+
So I'd suggest if you are struggling on the game, to load up an MTO on the difficulty you want to get to and just use it as a batting practice before an RS game. Custom practice is nice, but I swing at everything, and in MTO you want to beat the moments, so it's laid back and a little challenging at the same time.
