Eric Davis is insane. Best outfield defense I’ve ever seen (96 speed 93 reaction 90 fielding) and it seems like he hits bombs every game. Must get card IMO.

I assume that you don’t play at Coors, Laughing Mountain, or Shippett. Those stadiums all have high elevation, so home runs go farther. All of those 460+ home runs happen at those parks.

Personally, Hamels is my second favorite starter in the entire game. However, he’s way better on HOF/legend than all-star. On higher difficulties, you can run the cutter in to righties and sprinkle in some 4-seams and changeups. He’s dominant.

My idea is that stage 4 will be a new card series that highlights the best seasons in franchise history. These could include 1968 Bob Gibson, 2018 Mookie Betts, or 2012 Miguel Cabrera.

I matched up with a guy who had a below 500 ranked season record in my first 12-0 game. I almost cried with joy lol

99 Jackie.

I smell a bunt cheeser...

Saying britton is BAD is overreacting. He’s not nearly as good as expected, but he’s still a decent lefty out of the pen. Not as good as Chapman or Wagner, but after that, he’s pretty much the third or fourth best lefty reliever in the game.

I just changed my PSN ID, and everything was unaffected. I couldn’t find any data on it when I looked, so I figured I’d put this out there for others who were wondering.

I’m thinking Thome. He just got into the Hall of Fame, his swing is in the game, and we need 1st baseman. He’s also more deserving of a 99 than Raines.

Banks (by a mile)
Jazz (I used him until I got Ernie- absolutely incredible card)
Ripken
Didi
Correa
Yount
Michael Young
Gleyber
Tatis
Larkin

Kluber, Hersh, Leiter, Hamels, Paxton

You’ve just got to look at it objectively. The lag is annoying, but if you got out, that means it was caught on the opponents screen. It was no different than normal. The only reason you are more mad is because you thought for a second you got a hit. In reality, you never did.

Wieters is incredible on all star or hall of fame. The defense is obviously great, but on lower difficulties his low contact doesn’t hurt him too much. He has a great swing, and he generates a ton of power. I highly recommend him over posey if you’re playing on all-star/HOF.

Eddie Mathews is not worth it in any way. He’s just Gorman, but a TINY bit better. If you have Gorman, it’s a huge waste of stubs to get him. I’d go for Killebrew instead. Great power, more even splits, and WAY cheaper

His swing is great. Generates a ton of power. Only problem is his defense, especially in left field. His reaction and speed are both really low, so his range is really bad. Other than that, he’s a great card

I used him in a decent sample size in a BR run. He’s pretty easy to control due to a smooth delivery, and his pitches move a ton. His only problem is he’s a righty with no changeup. I still think he’s a good option if you don’t have a great rotation.

I don’t get why people hate bunt dancing so much. It doesn’t affect you, so why do you care? I get being mad for throwing knucklers, or holding R2, or bunt cheesing, but bunt dancing is as innocent as it gets. I’m sure some do it to annoy people, but I bet a lot of people just do it as a habit, just to pass the time between pitches.

I guess they are calling it a lineout. But it wasn't exactly a hard liner. Not sure how they called it a lineout. As for perfect-perfect not guaranteeing a hit or HR. Yes, I get it. But for a guy who has 104 power, that outcome didn't make sense to me.

I dipped into some online play yesterday for the first time since the Moonshot event and it sure seemed to me like I couldn't get any good exit velos. Anyone else have that issue?

If they called it a line out in the game log, that means it was a perfect liner. Perfect liners are not guaranteed homeruns no matter how high the power is. If it was a fly ball with a 106 mph exit velo, it would have been way gone

Did you try him in the event?
Or did you face him?

I’ve used him in a large sample size on ranked seasons. In about 40 innings, he has an ERA around five, which is considerably lower than my team ERA.
