A suicide squeeze is always a bunt. I can't say I've ever seen a hit and run with a runner taking off from third. Either way, nobody would refer to that as a suicide squeeze. A suicide squeeze is always a bunt. There is also a safety squeeze which is the same concept but the runner on third is waiting until the bunt is down to take off. Big aggressive lead just like the suicide squeeze.

What the hell? How many catchers have played and finished with 150+ HR and hit .300+? All hall of farmers, that's who. Statistically he's a shoe in for catcher.

Let me start by saying, I have purchased MLBTS every year since 03 and while my yearly hours have regressed since 17, this sports franchise is still so head and shoulders above the rest. Every time I sign on here, it's (unsurprisingly) filled with complaints. While this is far from perfect, if you have played any other sports franchise within the last 4 years and you still hate this game, go F yourself kindly.

Content:
Even the gripers know this isn't close anywhere else. Not just in quantity, but quality. Moving on.

Gameplay:
Easily the low hanging fruit here. Have you played Madden lately tho? NBA 2k is similar but has equally game breaking issues.

Devs:
If you think these guys don't try to cater to the crowd, you literally don't play any other video games. Including all other genres.

I don't care what your response is. This sports franchise leads all today and it isn't close.

TLDR; bring back knuckleballers. The regulars who complain daily deserve more pain amd it would help break up the meta a little.

@d_e_m_i_s_e_psn said in How is Legend supposed to be enjoyable?:

Yep. Dropped down to all star to see if I could at least enjoy that using my favorite players. Colorado opponent (where a server allegedly is) and guy had 14 hits and 8 were non-pci including 2 HR's. Guy was turning on 98 like I was setting the ball on a tee. Must be tough playing slow pitch softball. Meanwhile, I'm getting gassed by 94 and no clue what the pitch is. Every pitch looks the same until it is too late. Just a blur. I played professional baseball and can't tell what a pitch is in your game because the lag is so ridiculous. It looks like a blur coming out of the hand ant time you face an opponent close to a server. Disappointing since I love baseball so much but this is the worst online baseball game I have ever seen. Even your precious streamers say it's [censored] and most can only stomach to play a few games. These people get paid to play the game and can't stand your game. Time to wake up!

I have over 500 losses in DD. I don't give a [censored] about my online record. I don't care what anyone thinks. You need a complete overhaul of the online portion of this game. I made WS (by some miracle and a lot of guessing and getting lucky) and have to guess pitches on all star because the lag in this game is atrocious. How do you think other people that aren't close to servers feel? They have quit, just like I will at some point. You can only take so much.

I think maybe it just looks like a blur to you is because you're old dude. Eye sight fades quickly when you're long in the tooth. Also maybe you were just a below average hitter as a "pro". Could be, just sayin'

Showdown is fine. Matter of fact its great. Age old wisdom: git gud

I don't think it's super difficult really. If you take your time and wait on pitches your fine. I just dont like being forced to use certain players I wouldn't want to play with on DD.

Nobody is forcing you to do anything

Showdown is fine. Matter of fact its great. Age old wisdom: git gud

This thread is ridiculous. OP is complaining about 2 different offline grind mission types and its not enough still. Basically the post reads "please give me endless conquest maps and let me mindlessly drone against the CPU to obtain any card I want."

@boudie23_psn said in Goodbye Cubs:

It had to be done for a fresh start, hopefully some of the players they got pan out.

I get it. And it needed to happen. I knew it was coming, but the videos posted on the Cubs Twitter page today just got me. Hey could be worse, my buddy is at the Cubs Nationals game today.

Feels like my heart was ripped out today with the dismantling of the Cubs. It feels like a breakup. I know it won't work, but I just want them back so bad. Started a franchise and simmed a year with updated rosters. Bryant and Rizzo ended up together in San Francisco. Javy Baez was signed to the White Sox. Kimbrel went back to Atlanta. For some reason this fictitious ending gave me peace. I'll be drinking lots of whiskey and watching 2016 games. Can't ever remember a team being sold out so bad. I knew it was coming but sheesh. Thought I'd at least have Rizzo or Baez at the end of the day. Cheers to all my fellow Cubs fans, today was as much a blood bath as the red wedding in Game of Thrones.

@bob_loblaw1984 said in I loathe the Yankees…:

but I’m going to pull for them the rest of the year. Hope Rizzo gets his second ring and performs well with that short porch. One of my all-time favorite Cubbies.

Edit: I need to simultaneously pull for Devers due to all the cards I’ve invested in.

Same. I think I'm buying a Rizzo Yankees jersey as crazy as it sounds. I mean I named my dog Rizzo for christ sakes. But Yankees fans will LOVE Riz, Rizzo will love the short porch, glad Rizzo will get some serious attention in the best facilities in the bigs.

@dcmo3_psn said in Kris Bryant Boss please?:

I'd rather have someone that actually deserves a 99.

Ok fine, give me a Headliner 97 MVP KB.

Dear SDS,
As a Cubs fan I am asking you to please give us a 99 MVP Kris Bryant card as an inning boss tomorrow. Reasons listed below:

1. The obvious, KB is getting traded in the next 24 hours. This devastates me and it will be our last chance to use him as a Cub moving forward with the exception of a rare flashback.
2. We are also going to lose Rizzo in the next 24 hours, likely to Boston. Rizzo and more specifically Bryzzo, were the heart and soul of this team for the last 6 years.
3. We are about to launch into a rebuild and if I know this team, it will be an unknown amount of time until they compete again. They are the lovable losers for a reason. Wrigley will always sell out, regardless of team talent, because it is the biggest bar in America.

For all of these reasons, please give us Cub fans one last hurrah. It will help ease the pain as our team is picked over by teams like a vulture and a carcass in the dessert.

@schnauzerface said in Early 2000's players you love and want to see:

Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, and more of the White Sox 2005 SP... Buehrle is already in the game, but man.... Jose Contreras, Freddy Garcia, and Jon Garland were all so good too...

And I just watched Moneyball for the 100th time, so I'd like to create a theme team with Eric Byrnes, Eric Chavez, Jermaine Dye, and Scott Hatteberg (with 0 Defense and 0 Arm Strength) to go along with the new David Justice.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Chad Bradford and Ricardo Rincon in the bullpen.

A Bobby Jenks card is long overdue imo

*Bobby Jenkolini

Watched the Woodstock '99 documentary on HBO last night (an awesome watch btw, check it out) and it got me super nostalgic for that time period. Besides the obvious sluggers (Sosa, McGuire, Bonds...) what early 2000's stars would you like to see that aren't in the game this year. For me:
-Jake Peavy
-Johan Santana
-Joe Mauer

I would prob set my lineup to go outside and interact with other humans. Its not hard to have every card this year. Sweet post though.

Maybe if you are ever a victim of violent crime you will have a different perspective on what it is to be an introvert... Maybe if you have it happen twice you would decide that looking at old lady's suspect in a grocery store just isn't for you... Maybe you are a douchebag for making me even think about it...

So an old woman performed a violent crime on you not once, but twice? Give us details

Lol you are stupid...

100%

Down butnin super weird ways I've never seen before. I was getting server timeout messages that kept popping up while I was in game I had to click off. Now when starting the game it is saying it can't load my saved data. Seems like a MASSIVE outage of the entire PSN network.

So they are talking about this story rn on Chicago sports radio and hopefully it isn't as ominous as they are worried it could/might be. Nobody including family has seen Yermin since the post. Apparently his tweet was lyrics to a song called Yo Retiro which is apparently a pretty depressing song. Chicago media who was close with him his whole career can't get in contact with him. Fwiw the people on the radio are also confused as to why he retired because he clearly is talented enough to make a roster and he was mashing in AAA during his send down. 670 The Score on audacy if anyone is interested.

@arizona_squatch said in Alex Reyes update today:

Next roster update is the 30th i believe.

EDIT: They wanted to allow some extra time in between updates due to the all star break.

Even if the roster update wasn't delay until the 30th there still wouldn't be a roster update TODAY lol

Oh sh*t you're right lol. If my slow reaction times to Cliff Lee's fastball wasn't evidence enough that I'm too high, forgetting the day of the week surely is. facepalm

I'd imagine Alex Reyes will get a significant upgrade given he is an all star rated as a 73 overall. Roster update today correct? Seems like his price is beginning to raise already, probably people trying to make some quick stubs with the inevitable upgrade.
