Is this a problem for anyone? It is getting ridiculous for me. Today I have lost FOUR games in the 8th inning or later while I was up 6-3 , 4-0 and 3-0, and 2-0 The other opponent had less then 5 hits in all 3 occasions. I’ve tried everything. Keeping my starter in, bringing in Kluber with full energy in the 9th, or just simply going with elite relievers. No matter what there is an error, 1 or 2 sawed off hits followed by a home run. Mix in a passed ball in there too. It’s actually unreal, it’s like you do not want to have a lead late in games. I’d say it might be me and my skill level but come on I can’t control these cheap hits, errors and good timing pitches missing middle. Is anyone else having this problem? Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have any advice on how to seal these games up.

Same. Had a game or two like that today. Decided to pull Newhouser in the 7th just in case even though he was pitching lights out and guy couldn't touch. Gave up 4 or 5 that inning. Plus another 2 later. No one could locate and evrytime ball sniffed the zone it got rocked.

It’s ridiculous. A whole game wasted

Thanks guys. I think I am going to try the Ozzie off the market and if it doesn’t workout complete the challenges to get Correa.

I am close to getting Tatis or Correa for Fotf and I’m on stage 2 with cubs so I’m in reach for Hoerner.

Who is everyone’s starting shortstop and who do you believe is the best short stop in the game right now? Struggling with Hanley and need some opinions thank you.

@pedro_is_god said in Gold 1 Reward Help W/ Lineup:

I'd probably go with Minoso to sure up that outfield. maybe replace Luis. or you could go with Larkin and move torres to second. posey is good, but there are so many underrated catchers that you can push him till later. jackson's power is nice, but the vision is gonna make it harder to hit as u get further in RS. i'd say it boils down to whether u hit better with Luis or Marte, and the one u don't, replace them.

Appreciate it. Idk why I’m on Posey a lot. I struggle the most w Sanchez and Torres. I also have fotf peralta Blackmon.

Will smith or lugo

Approaching Gold 1 and looking forward to the reward. Took Sandberg first time around and never really caught fire with him yet, but he has been solid. .280 17 homers 13 triples 15 sb.

My lineup is:
C- 87 Sanchez
1B- 94 Helton
2B- 86 Marte
3B- 99 Sandberg
SS- FOTF Torres
OF- Luis Gonzalez
OF- Ronald Acuna Jr.
OF- Christian Yellich

I know it is preference but I have used all these guys in practice and they all seem really solid (Posey, Larkin, Jackson, Minoso) However, I’m just looking for advice as a first year DD player who to go with here as a no money spent guy.

Appreciate the help,.

Guys I just bought harder., played a game had a no hitter until the 9th brought in harder and lost 3-2 when I was up 2-0 I tried to burry sliders that ended up middle down

Going out on a limb here, but did you by any chance pick Kluber and Newhouser at Bronze 20 and Silver 40? I have a high level of confidence whenever Rollie Fingers takes the mound in the 9th.

I took kluber first time around I’m a silver 38 rn I guess I have to go fingers now...

Haha is that actually a factor u think
