@codywolfgang_xbl said in Why do Twitch streamers play offline? How in the heck do so many people have Acuna and Ohtani?:

Played Weens and BMac yesterday. BMac was streaming but that chubby looking kid Weens who is number one was offline when I played him.

What is the purpose of the guy not streaming? It’s kind of fishy to me. Especially the way he magically pulverized every pitch after doing nothing for three innings.

I haven’t been playing a ton recently but was trying to close out my WS rank before the card values drop so I’ve played like ten games in the last 24 hours….of course get matched up with four guys over 1000 and two top ranked streamers…..anyways like 8 out of my ten games my opponents had Acuna and Ohtani.

How in the hell do these guys manage to complete TA, the Acuna program and some of them be over 1000 in RS within a week? I feel like the amount I play is unsustainable and I have like eight team affinity players. These dudes must play every second other than when they are asleep.

My bad for making an unnecessary post….just wondered what other people thought.

It's as easy as having a friend do the grinding while you sleep in a diff timezone

good question, idk how they can say they support BLM, etc, when they repeatedly overlook some of the best baseball players ever just because they didn't play in the all-white baseball league in the 1920s

Bc virtue signaling is in now you know this

Yeah... let's get it out of the way. I lost a game and I'm bitter

I struck the guy out 19 times.... He struck me out 7

I put the ball in play 20 times.. 7 of which had PCI of 14 or high and didn't get one of those to be a hit.

He put the ball in play a whopping 11 times TOTAL.... ONE PCI of a 14. Everything else was a 12 or lower.... Including the game winning HR.

Now this is All-Star Hell of course since the season reset. But Can someone please chime in here and tell me Git Gud or defend the game to the end of times. Because that was literally the most frustrating games I have ever played.

This game is and has been for years screwed up by connections. You can't take this game competitively. Just play with different cards and not care if you win or lose. That's what I do.

Well you're not demise so..

You're aware you are on my friends list right? Should I start spamming you with messages?

Lmfao of course, I saw you post and wanted to get you on a roll

Now that the finally fixed volquez windup....oh wait it's already over nvm we played the whole thing with teleportation and little billy wasn't even involved

@mackattack000012_psn said in Why do NMS players with Chipper/other elite players have such a complex?:

It either means your pack luck is insane, or you spend all day inside working the market or playing the game. You’re not better than anyone you’re one of those 2.

Meanwhile I haven't spent anything on the game, work 2 jobs and have them without grinding an insane amount ....and pulled my first high diamond since mlb 13 literally yesterday after I had chipper

@ndeangelo17_psn said in Can we get a conquest:

@Greenbuk75_MLBTS nothing on the schedule until new BR And player program on Tuesday. I wish we could get a conquest though considering they didn’t give us any for TA3. Also, isn’t shark week like a month long this year?

No shark week is the 11th until the 18th.

Or your girl once a month

I am still baffled by how many people still are doing this? Are you just going too fast? Opening too many packs at once and having a hard time remembering? Do you not look at the card to see if it has a x1 in the corner?

Anyway, I hope you get it resolved

There’s no rhyme or reason. This is strictly user error.

I imagine these people open their fridge and see eggs, milk and cheese, go to the store and buy those items and then come home and complain that they bought stuff they already had.

Yes, just like it's not user error I don't have any red Sox [censored] in my collection and have all the last Al east choice packs sitting there so I don't stain my acct with scum

Papi took steroids btw

Huh? I have no idea what you’re trying to say here.

I refuse to take any of the last Al east gear and banner packs bc I don't want cox scum in my inventory

Ik reading is hard

Like there hasn't been a solid amount of them added since nam and with all these stat grind missions I'd rather just bang out some free packs in the process

@raesone_psn said in Y’all think Ramone:

I think he gained some Corona lbs, and this is his coworkers' way of poking some fun at him and subtly tell him he's gotten fat.

The boys in the office are prob having a field day with him

Oh yeah, lots of PXP and XP earned in that game as well.

Shades of the Jim Edmonds 24 hour mission from 2017

@unisiss_psn said in The 100mph screwball needs to get the heave-ho.:

I can't be the only one who thinks this. Sinkers thrown knee high to around belt high are literally screwballs. Thrown any higher and it literally defies every physics lesson I've ever been taught...

Sinkers to me look like a Devin Williams change-up but around 30 mph faster with an increased chance of my nice new all-star bat skin shattering into a million pieces and possibly killing someone in the process.

I can still hit the stupid thing, but I have to butcher my entire hitting approach just to cheat to a pitch meant for me to put it in play more often than not against someone who isn't Jordan Hicks himself. I've only played 2 ranked seasons games in the past month because of it. one resulted in a war against Cliff Lee and the other ended with a satisfying grand slam off of Edward Cabrera.

From what I've seen, the 2-seam acts WAY more like a sinker than the actual sinker. A middle ground has to be found somewhere I hope...

Lol well at least you didn't play MLB 19 when they were hypercharged to the max prior to the 2 nerfs they've already done

@pennstatefencer said in Screwed if accidentally selected the same player twice out of a Ta3 pack?:

To be fair, it's not like anyone at SDS could have possibly predicted the fact that some players might accidentally pick the same card twice. The only way they could possibly know is if they had looked at any of the tickets that had been pouring in for months now.

Coughs in Kyle choosing Aaron judge 3x on purpose

Give me hof moments over rookie any day lol the pitch speeds being 1/8th of online speeds tuck me up on rookie more than anything

Finally they give us a chance to line some balls off Ramones face for being an [censored] to everyone on Twitter in 2016 about being banned and choosing to not apologize after they found out it was a coding error

This is going to be pure Bliss for those guys and anyone from 2017 that got banned for posting fangraphs data that showed just late be great was indeed a fallacy and most hrs were pulled

Thanks for the moment guys and happy headhunting

@bhall09_psn said in 99 Acuna added:

So, the prize is a 99 of a guy that didn't play in the All-Star game (maybe they're doing this because there will be no way to pump out another maxed out Acuna now that he's hurt) instead of a guy that's synonymous with the All-Star game in Hank Aaron. It's a 99, could have been a 99 of the guy who has been selected an All-Star the most times.

hank aaron will be the big collection towards the end. if you aren't stocking up on all the legends/flashbacks etc. that are going for quicksell you might want to start... or at least get 1 of each

Drops Hank after trout, mickey and Mays [censored] on him

Brilliant

Making this post after letting it sit a while so no one digs through my game history and tries to cry about a "cheating" or some bs

But was nice to see a fellow forumer from the old days remember the pay it forward wins we used to do in events back in 17 quite often, definitely wasn't complaining about not having to see teleporting pitches from volquez that they decide to fix only once the "fun" event of the year is already over

Lol I feel yah. I just lost to a guy taht spammed inside 102 abs I hit 5 to the warning track , he looked like grandma swinging at a piñata but I lose bc of on swing and 1 forced pcu error…. Lol I reported the dude becaus she had a misogynistic rape sounding name . I normally wouldn’t have but spite made me want to tick him off since I can’t message him
