Tied 2-2 going into the 11th I cough up a run on a bloop hit with the infield in. Down 3-2 in the bottom, I move the runner over via ground out, Jackie gets a hit up the middle. HBP and my prize 200K stub Story Walks it off to get me my WS win with a HR. Finally made it to WS

My Kershaw memories in the playoffs tend to be the bullpen letting runners score such as today. By no means is he lights out, but let's also realize such as in 2019 he got his one out of the bullpen there is no need to have him return after he retires his one batter. I remember Baez coming in and blowing it after or like Brusdar today coughing up runners on base. My next question would be is Mike Trout an all time great because he's 1-10 in postseason and can't even get there or Degrom who has a 7.20 era in one WS start in his only postseason appearance? We can punish Kershaw for all the blow ups but he's also had more chances than someone like Degrom or Trout.

Clayton Kershaw looks 12-6

Grind out some Run it Back stuff that might help get the stub count up too

Cons: Showdowns are the bane of some peoples existence. Repetitive.

Thank you for the in depth pros and cons that's super helpful!

I haven't because 1. I haven't pulled a lot of them. 2. When I did pull someone like Cole or Degrom they were selling for a lot so I had just sold them. I kind of regret it but I also got MVP Trout done the other day so its all good for me.

I'll just expand on a couple, but as mentioned you definitely want to avoid striking out swinging (easier than said than done I know) but that will always be a huge boost to a pitchers confidence.
If you find yourself struggling to take pitches put the controller down, cause if you're like me you get tempted to swing A LOT.
Try to keep track of sequences for pitchers since a lot of players use the same ones
Something I use to really help is I hit and pitch with the same camera angle because it helps me pick up release points and movement.
Lastly and a big one don't panic on good input outs, a perfect perfect line out still means you're on time even though it was an out.

Is a strike out swinging different than taking strike three in regards to pitcher momentum/confidence?

That is funny that you mention being tempted to swing. I always tell my self I’m not swinging and swing at a dumb pitch like a cutter in.

I'm pretty sure, I know taking strikes boosts confidence less than swinging strikes do.

And I feel that, those sinkers in, I call it and it comes and then I swing away and wiff or pop out to first.

I've never struck out looking so much, those fastballs just get painted.

Kershaw for me as a Dodgers fan because I'm curious to see what card they give him since Milestones have been added. I doubt they have the rights but a Second half Sabathia would be amazing. And for Hitters the 99 Foxx is one I'm waiting for.

Yeah...no skipping this time. Need em all.

All the collections, 99 Jackie and 99 Ohtani.

I skipped Monthly awards.

Goes up quick

I'm going to the Dodger Astro game tonight so I'm hoping it's up when I get back home.

After reading this what if showdown had a option that if you fail at the mini boss you could pay say 750 stubs and retry the mini boss and if you failed at the final boss you could pay 1000 stubs to retry the final boss? That might eliminate some of the frustration of having to always restart from the beginning.

You forgot Lefty Grove for lefty heat.

Wander for now, it may be Honus depending on how much I like the Jazz Topps now.

If you use Mo a lot I would pick up Gossage, Kenley and Mo are very similar. I love Shohei he's been one of my best pitchers tbh on HOF.

Ran across a team that had this in the team loading screen. does anyone know what it means.

I perfect perfect a fly ball with Torre to the track. The guy I’m playing hits a low outside back door cutter For a homer.

9 double plays in 2 games, perfect pitches hung, outfielders taking decades to throw the ball in, and good okay’s to the track. What a night.

I wanted to take Sanberg at Gold 1 to upgrade second base, but with the 99 Jackie which do you all think is the better second baseman.

Kluber
Hal
Hersh
Grienke
Felix soon to be prestige or Paxton.

I’m struggling who to remove for Paxton.
