Comma and period.

At least it wasn’t a copy of the Colorado license plate!

I've only seen him mentioned once, but Helton has been great for me. In his first game he went 5/5 with 5 HR's. His swing is smooth. Granted it was offline on AS, but he still raked.

It just astounds me that after all these years you still break $hit every time you try to patch something.

If they were staying with Phillies theme then I would say Steve Carlton.

The other issue that the players union wants to fix is guys are ready for the major but get stuck in the minors because of the pos they play and no where to move them up. The dodgers had Paul Lo Duca in the minors for I believe it was 10 years before he got called up.

And let's all get on the same page here. The players union only wants them to be included in the players union the same as the MLB players because then the players union receives more money, much more money. They truly do not give a [censored] about players, they are a business also and are in it for money. The reason they want the years of service reduced is because the faster a player can get to free agency the higher their potential for making money. And that means more money for the players union. So it is greed all around on both sides and it is only the fans who suffer.

Once again you never know if a player is ready to be called up to the MLB. You hope the player is ready but it is always a chance that is taken by the club. Their are thousands of players who were deemed ready for the big club but could never get it going and then became career minor leaguers. It happens more often than not. So why should they receive more money while they are still unproven at a MLB level.

So I won't say much on this because I believe both sides are ridiculously greedy, but I will say this. I love to read the comments of KILLER because most of the time they are completely based on nothing true and are completely from his imagination or some fantasy world he lives in. Since that has been said now I will say my piece about both sides. I believe baseball has doomed itself because of this greed from both the players and the owners. We are probably going to see in baseball what happened with hockey years ago, and it will probably be the only way it saves the game. I for one don't believe that unproven minor league players deserve larger guaranteed contracts. If that does happen then the cost of those contracts will be passed on to the consumers, and who wants to pay nba prices to go see a baseball game. I also believe that the owners need to set up a personal retirement plan for every individual player that plays at the mlb level for their team based on time with the team and contract pay. That will ensure each player at the mlb level will have guaranteed money when they leave baseball. Minor league players do not deserve large contracts or guaranteed money. Why anyone would believe someone who hasn't proven themselves in a job deserves big money is just beyond me. No other business, and remember it's a business first and foremost, would ever pay someone a large contract for an unproven record. Both sides are very greedy and it is ruining the game. Last and not least Rob Manfred has no business being commissioner. He should be fired.

They are getting away from stick skills to give the casual players a better chance of hitting. But make no mistake, the great players will still be great and the mediocre players will just be a bit less mediocre. It really doesn't matter to me. I more or less quit playing online 3 years ago once it started to become more toxic. I'll still jump in online now and then for a game or two but rarely.

I just got done running a short test on 22 with the high and inside sinkers and it looks like they toned them down. They now look like a fast change up, which are very easy to hit.
The real problem I think everyone will have is the new hitting mode. It called Timing and that's all you have to do. Just swing with the right timing and make good contact. I can see everyone now complaining that it's not fair and so on and so on. I myself do not care. I still use zone because it's feels the best to me but the new timing mode makes it to where anyone can hit.

Is timing like directional? Does the game decide where your PCI placement is ??

Yes, but it seems much more accurate. I tried it on every setting and even on legend I could still hit fairly easy. Much easier than directional.

@killerpresence4 said in MLBPA rejects mediator:

If you guys don’t believe me that the owners are not the problems, here is a sobering story about what it’s like to be a minor leaguer!!!

So I was a minor league ballplayer in the early to mid 90's and the first thing I will say is it is a choice. Most players know in the first couple of years whether or not if they have the talent to make it to the big club. After that they either choose or don't choose to keep playing. Most choose to play because they love it and because they don't really want to get a real world job, I know I did along with about 20 others from my team. But usually they are forced to quit playing or jump around all over to keep playing and taking less and less money. This isn't all on the owners, it's on the owners, the players and us for contributing to the stardom of players, which in turn makes them believe they are worth $30 million a year.

I'm going to be biased and say Robin Yount was definitely a HOF caliber player and human being. I had the honor of being the Brewers bat boy in the 80's and he and Paul Molitor were both big names at the time, but Robin Yount went out of his way to hang out with me in the dugout and actually talk baseball with a kid. He taught me that no matter how big you got you always remain humble.

Reggie wore #9 when he played for the angels, also the O's and the A's. He also wore #44 for the Angels, Yankees and A's.

Yeah I have restarted my console but it still freezes every time I try to go into the Cabrera program.

Is anyone having trouble getting into the Miggy program? I have it done but was going to check on something and every time I go into it the game freezes. @Collin_SDS_PSN

So, are you playing this game or not?

No kid is too cheap to put up $25 he’d rather use on stubs and I would boat race his cardinals

Why does it have to be for money? Like [censored] just play a free friendly game and get this over with already lol

Why not put up if you’re so gud and calling out others?

He is trying to hide behind the "I'll play but he won't put up any money so it's not worth my time" bs. If you don't want to actually play him then say so. Don't hide like a little b***h.

I always sleep on AJ Pollock, he's nice and soft and not lumpy like my old mattress.

I only have 1 thing to say. The BBWAA should have never been given the ability to elect HOF'ers. It should have always been by a retired players committee. And before you say "they can be elected by retired players committee", I mean there should only be one committee, not 4, that do selections.

@hockey4all2001 said in How did I reach the daily cap on XP?:

It says I reached the daily cap on XP and I'm only 50488 into the program. 40000 of that was the Molina and Davis collections. So how do 2 people have Chris Sale already parallel 1. @Collin_SDS_PSN what is going on? I thought the XP cap was much higher? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Because of XP you gained prior to noon San Diego time! It is for a 24 hour period that isn't from noon to noon.

So I guess even if you have completed a program to the 650k it still counts XP even if it doesn't apply to anything. Good to know to not do anything before a new program drops. I've never hit the daily XP cap before.
