Wow. Great review. 20 pitches is a great sample size to make a decision on. You've inspired me to make all my decisions in life this quickly.

What?? I spelled his name right.

CLUBER...

OHHHH KLUBER lol oops

Kory Cluber

Cousin to Hole Camels

I literally have done nothing except get beat around a bit but stick around long enough to schmooze a bit and get beat around a bit more. Feel kinda like that 99 Smoltz who looked good enough to stick around long enough just to get beat up over and over.

Nice try, Ramone.

Great pitch when thrown by a user with skill.

Kinda like there are great posts when written by a user with skill.

Jesus Montero

Haha my favorite is Chapman having a sinker. Don’t know when he developed that since I watch every Yankee game.

Been throwing one for a few years.

@sbevans142 said in Point of these Topps Now cards:

I think the point is to have fun with them.

Stop with this nonsense. I've read these forums enough to know we're really all masochists who play this game to come here and share our misery.

Real baseball. Seeing Mookie Betts hit his 3rd HR, my thought process goes, "Nice! ... wait, ugh... that's Moment's gonna suck."

I’m rooting for my boy Fletch

If this Fletch is anything like conquest Fletch, he'll foul off 400 knives before knocking one straight back to the attacker, killing him because he was out of energy.

Oh sure, why not. Count "virtual hunger games on a baseball video game forum" as things I never thought I'd come across, Alex (RIP).

@MrGamebred said in For Those Of You Who Purchased PS 5:

I posted it for $300 on FB just to see what would happen and there is somebody coming by to pick it up tomorrow afternoon! Very surprised. I just don’t see a need for it anymore and it’ll pay for most of my ps5

Huh? $300 bucks? That's awesome!

What are they getting for that amount, assuming it's not just the console and controller? lol

2 older COD games, MLB TS 18(it was bad juju to hang onto I think lmao), and far cry 5. Haha I think I would have gotten like $150 from GameStop so I can’t complain at all.

Edit: I’ll also add in that it was the original ps4 slim 1 TB version.

MLBTS 18 included? You should be giving him $300 to get rid of that alone.

@Freddy_Sez grabs food. @ChuckCLC ALMOST kills him, but misses with the knife.

Why @ChuckCLC would come after me with a knife and not a cat that shoots lasers out of its eyes is beyond me.

@UkraineSankOurs and @Freddy_Sez hunt for others

How did I not take him out??? I had the perfect opportunity to get rid of the troll; it was like a fastball down the middle that I couldn't miss and yet somehow I put the PCI up and in and swung just early for once.

Just sayin thanks for SDS and the game (even if it has flaws) that I could play for ~1000 hours in a year where I spent an inordinate amount of time at home (and doubt I could play any game for 1000 hours and not see flaws).

And to this forum, its members, and the info, discussion, and sarcasm here; whether you celebrate U.S. Thanksgiving today or not. I don't post a ton but am a constant lurker and appreciate the core folks that keep it going (y'all know who they are). It also helped me find a league that's another way to enjoy this game online.

You all are like that insane family member we pretend doesn't exist and don't tell anybody else about in the real world.

Dibble should get the throwing the ball in the stands animation.

Still enjoying a video game

@abbyspapa said in Am I the only one who refuses to let opponents take an extra step?:

I'll take the extra step until they show me they are paying attention. Gotta get those 3 steals daily missions done somehow!

No problem with this at all, gotta make sure folks are paying attention and watching 1st/2nd (even 3rd). To that end, it doesn't even bother me if my opponent dances back and forth, it's a strategy to keep me focused on the bases instead of the batter; or if folks try and time a late extra step after I come set and right as I'm about to pitch - these are both the game within the game and usually adjustments are made back and forth.

It's the person just taking a lead over and over to see if they can outlast me stepping off and messaging me (as already mentioned) "throw the ****ing ball" that take the fun out of the game. I'm pretty patient so I can usually outlast it and even usually win because I've noticed folks that rely on this aren't the best players, but it makes me want to play another video game or go do something else when that game is over.

@DarthKDog09 said in Red glowing circle when fielding outfield:

Definitely doesn't work as intended. My Diamond fielders allow a popup to drop right in front of then for no apparent reason except yo give my opponent a hitt

This. Mantle is scared of it. A number of times he's fast enough to get under it, but if I don't dive (no need to because he'd get there), he just stops short of it and the ball drops right in front of him. Good idea not quite implemented the best way.

How many teams? Is it points or roto? Is there a innings minimum to hit? Hitting looks good, you may struggle with SP if you need say 1000 minimum innings pitched. Should've drafted Anne Hathaway.

@SchnauzerFace said in Hunger Games, TSN version!:

FINAL 6, BABY!

Matt, arv, Scarlet, and Freddy — let’s form an alliance. Ikasnu is too strong. We must take him down immediately.

Sounds like a plan - who's gonna yell "Hey, there's Trevor Story!" to distract him?
