I didn’t say anything about the OFs arm. I’m talking about your inability to make a perfect throw. It takes a whoooooooole lot less skill than hitting. I love seeing an opponent make an error. I can beat them almost every time, and I’m terrible.

Did you miss the part where I said I use buttons? It has nothing to do with ability. You press a button and the game does math to decide whether the throw is good or not. Ability does not enter into it.

Also, the thread is about bunting with a power hitter, not how good you are at defense.

If you use buttons, then you lack skill. Plain and simple.

The thread is about you whining about getting beat because someone chose to score off of you on a bunt after your lack of skill put a runner on third. It’s BR. You get that runner in.

Play with accuracy and you won’t have the problem. If I see someone make an error, I assume they suck.

Maybe it was a smart play. I mean the guy won, right?

My point was, and is, I would not bunt with Harmon Killebrew.

The outfielder’s arm didn’t come into it. It was a perfect bunt past the pitcher’s mound. Nobody fielded it before the run scored.

It wasn’t about testing my fielding. It was about scoring a run when you are struggling to hit.

If he wanted to test my arm, he would have tried to get the ball into the outfield to score on a sac fly.

THAT is what I would have done. If it failed, I would be fine with that, knowing I did a baseball thing in a baseball game.

It was a smart play. If you can’t make accurate throws, then I’m testing your fielders. Accuracy is the easiest thing in the game. The run doesn’t score if you know how to play defense.

So you made an error that got runner to third, but it’s his fault that runner scored? Sounds like the wrong one is getting the blame here. If someone makes an error, they’re a poor fielder. I’d force them to make a throw too.

Nobody gets it.

With all the free stubs about to drop, the ones on the market will sell.

Was looking into flipping him, ultimately decided not to, but then accidentally bought him. 800k down the drain. Any solution to this? Email SDS? Ask someone kindly to buy it off of me?

Beltran

He knew what was coming except when Wainwright was pitching.

I'm down with Lynn. He and Gallen at least help the Cardinals all-time team. (Gallen never pitched for the major league team, but at least it wasn't the stretch I made with Scherzer being on there for a while.)

Arozarena
Gallen
Voit
Lynn
Pham
Alcantara

Lot of Ls and backfires for the Cardinals front office

meh. Here's how I look at it.

Lynn had a chance to be with the Cards long term. They wanted it. He didn't. He chose to just sign a 3-year deal through his arbitration years. He was good in first year. He was hurt his second year. He was average after that. He was okay the year after he left. They tried. His choice.

Gallen and Alcantara were both known to be good. Ozuna (a player I didn't want) was going to cost a lot in the trade. Then Ozuna flopped.

Voit is best right where he's at. He's not very good outside of his home stadium. It fits best with his profile. I'm happy with Gallegos.

Pham? Bad eyes. Worse attitude. I don't miss him. Neither did Tampa. And SD won't next year after they move on from him.

Arozarena is good. Is he what we've seen so far? Absolutely not. Lots of guys burst on the scene and fade. There's no way his HR/FB or ISO holds. Yes, he would have helped this year. I still like Liberatore overall.

Missed on some? Sure, but it's not as bad as most believe.

Hayes played in half the games that Moran did, and he was more than 3 times more valuable.

I'm down with Lynn. He and Gallen at least help the Cardinals all-time team. (Gallen never pitched for the major league team, but at least it wasn't the stretch I made with Scherzer being on there for a while.)

A couple of weeks ago I only had 5 completed stage 3's. I didn't even have all of stage 1's. Now I'm at all stage 3's completed by doing exchanges. And I'm ready to have up to 10 stage 4's done immediately upon drop.

Good point.

I really wasn’t even trying. He had 99 Jansen as his starter in BR, and I looked dumb in top of first. I hung a pitch in bottom of first that he destroyed to go up 3-0 with only one out. Maybe none. He replayed. I woke up.

He lost 4-3. Only downside was not hitting a homer off him.

It’s clear at this point, especially if someone is a 100 Prestige, that replaying a homer is just rubbing it in. Just be sure you can back it up.

I'm glad I stocked up last week on cards for exchanges. I love using 84 and 83 golds. Might cost more but quicker than silvers. But Friday I was only spending 1005-1150 on those golds. They're all up now.

I am currently buying and flipping a bunch of golds. Hope I make a BUNCH of profit!

That's where it's at this week for sure. I may try to flip if I have time, but I'm not sure I'll ever spend all the stubs I have right now as it is.

I'm not a fan of the finest cards. I'm not sure how many will actually crack the lineup, even though they're going to give away a bunch of 99s. But I'm also salty because no Cardinals deserve a 99!

Gotcha. I do prefer conquest over showdown for sure.

@Vipersneak said in Just said Conquest will have a big effect for TA4:

I think Conquest will just replace Showdown for this round. There will be exchanges so the rich do not have to actually play the game.

Lol. I have plenty of stubs but I still won’t waste them in exchanges if I can grind for vouchers or something

Just did exchanges this past week to catch up. I was at 100% already on four or five teams. Was mostly at 33% on some.

By the time I got done, I had more stubs than when I started. So many stubs and packs along the way, it’s easy to not lose much. And if you hit enough with just one or two cards, you can end with more than you started with.
