GG bud. Was sitting on that cheese lol

@eatyum said in How do you hit in this game?:

I think for anyone who isn't a top player, there are a few things that really matter when hitting.

If I'm tired, I can't focus and I strikeout out a ton. I have to be wide awake.

If I'm distracted, I.E. there is talking in the room, or maybe I'm chatting or something while playing, I'm going to strike out a lot.

It's really something that you have to give your full attention to. It's easier for me to pick up patterns, to discern balls and strikes when I'm doing that.

Seriously. My girl knows to GTFO out of the room if I’m playing and she’s on the phone. She thinks it’s hilarious and rightfully so but it’s sooooooo hard to focus with chatter.

To OP: it sounds simple but see ball, hit ball. Don’t think too much, just react and recognize patterns to help you sit on pitches. I used to be pretty decent but I took last year off and it took a while to get it back but once you get there (and you will) you’ll know.

If you read this far: Thank you, and let me know. I am wondering how many people actually did. I will now go and watch TV, waiting for my heartbeat to come down. This happened an hour ago, and I forgot to post until then, and my heartbeat is still high. lol

Might be the meth.

Jk, good for you chief. Keep it up.

Heck of a ball player but quite possibly the worst analyst ever to Grace a microphone

@AsianJim95 said in Am I wrong for this?:

Getting shut out in the 8th, Tatis hits a solo jack. Down 2-1. He brings crochet in, Jorge walks, and then Gary walks. So two on with no outs and honus comes up to bat, get in a two strike count. And I laid my first bunt down of the year (felt dirty about it) but couldn't sacrifice a double play. Got on, brought in nick for Larry, then hit a grand slam causing him to dashboard.
I hate bunt cheesers, but am I wrong for putting a bunt down in a critical situation?

In the words of Herm Edwards, “YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME”

Do you have to do the expensive collection for the 15 points to get the Ramirez? The missions & solos don’t equal 100.

Yep, you gotta lock in those cards. I’m literally 1/4 level away from finest Ramirez so I’m in a little dilemma.

I don’t need the stubs (1.6 bank now), but I was targeting the finest Ramirez who, as noted above, is statistically worse than the POTM now. Working through moments and the program now and not opening any of the packs until I decide what to do.

So there won’t be more moments or missions added later? You absolutely have to do the collection if you want Ramirez?

I’m fairly confident since they didn’t add any missions to the tatis collection.

That’s awful...I hate when SDS goes the way of EA like that. $$$

I spent $70 for the pre-game where you get a couple of free diamonds and other stuff at the beginning of the year.

I have almost $1.8 million stubs from literally just playing the game and pulling players from free packs, making it to 500 in RS and getting a diamond, playing free events and getting free sellable diamonds, playing the 1-9 inning programs and getting free diamonds, doing moments, showdown the list goes on and on.

I don't really play madden so I don't know how madden makes it pay to play, but this game, at least for me definitely isn't pay to play.

Did you bury the lede on a no money spent post?!?

I’m sure someone has pointed this out before but I haven’t seen it.

The Zack Brown “K 2 batters in one inning” is broken. Instead of Brown, the moment loads with....Justin Grimm on the hill. WTF?

@The_DoctorsWife said in Which Pitchers are Kryptonite to You?:

I tend to struggle with some pitchers more than I do others, and I'm curious to know which pitchers drive you crazy.

My top 3 (not in any particular order, just the 3 most annoying):

• LS Joey Lucchesi
• Chris Sale (his movement is so distracting!)
• Clayton Kershaw

Signature Hoffman
That [censored] changeup kills me and as soon as I time that up I lose the fastball.

FotF Marichal
Same thing. His breaking pitches are nasty.

Only faced Juan a few times but that slider just falls off the table, and he has a 72mph change. No thanks.

@brian61bytof said in Help with flipping cards:

I have around 140k rn, so I should be looking for players with a big difference between buy and sell now?

With your 140k just focus on flipping golds and maybe low diamonds, aiming for a few hundred in profit from each card. That plus playing will steadily increase your stub roll.

LOL LOL LOL LOL

@Zooropa_Returns said in I don’t get offended easily:

Don't think I missed your point. I never mentioned blue lives.
Your point is the thought is nice and an ideal to strive toward.

I don't think you get my point.

What exactly is your point? It sounds like you’re saying the leaders of BLM are Marxists which is false on premise. There are no leaders, by design.
Is your point that all lives matter? That’s a true statement but ignores the fact that black lives have mattered less than others or not at all for the entire existence of our country which is the entire point of BLM.

And hence why politics are banned in these forums.

Politics or using someones death to laugh? They are different in my book.

The point I’m making is this forum is the exact reason politics are forbidden. All it does it divides people. I’m not saying that the OP doesn’t have the right to be upset it was a pretty tone deaf situation that he’s describing. However not knowing the other side of the story means we get one side. Maybe the OPs opponent was getting sick and tired of this countries cancel culture that we see on a daily basis and decided to make a silly remark. Who knows, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s political in nature and thus forbidden in the TOS that we all agree to before we are allowed to post in these forums. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not condoning anything just pointing out facts.

In most cases, you’re right. Just not here. Making light of the murder of a human, however high-profile, is universally wrong and that conclusion is wholly apolitical.

Mookie. East and west coast appeal.

Great that he's in the game, but as an offline player, I'm just bummed about this. He'll be going for 850k or more in the market, just like Puljols. I'll never be able to afford such great cards.

No worries, he's not gonna be even close to that expensive because he's an event reward. As a matter of fact, if you'd really want him badly I would encourage you to try and get your feet wet with online play. Events are perfect for this since they're free to play and losing games doesn't mean anything.

Had to cancel PS Plus subscription to save money during pandemic. But I appreciate the advice.

Keep your eyes on Kinja deals for the cheaper year membership, depending on what your line in the sand is for price.

@beanball0571 said in Timing:

Nope early and late have become the meta. Hell perfect perfect is a toss up . I understand from playing actual baseball that early and late hits happen but not like in this game

Seriously. I had a p/p fly ball with Walker vs a righty and it was warning track. Just like you said, sometimes bad contact is rewarded in baseball and vice versa but when a power hitter barrels up a fastball with perfect launch angle and perfect timing, that’s gotta be a bomb. My tolerance is 3-4 per game before I rage quit, especially if my opponent is getting those BS ducksnorts on very early or late timing and all I get is “A ball that’s carrying” on good/good or better.

Anybody else experiencing major server connection issues while visiting The Show Nation website since the latest update? I'm losing connection almost everytime I try to go back to my dashboard.

Yes. I power cycled my router and that seems to have done the trick

Taking a dunk makes no sense. That implies that it comes back out after.
