Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I hope you have a great day!

Forgot to say, I got 99 Trout! I got him the other day after locking stuff in. Finally!
I can't wait to add him to my team!

So, you might be wondering what I mean. Well, you are in for a journey. NO, YOU SHALL NOT SKIP TO THE END. Please..?
To set the scene: I only get an hour a day to play, but I got 1:15 today. I did the 4th inning showdown, as that was what I needed to finish the 4th inning. Then I would buy the other two bosses, and then lock them in the 5th inning collection. (Go to my other posts if you are wondering why I am doing the 5th inning)
I got to the showdown, and was down 7-15 to start. After a grand slam from Torre, and some other hits, I am tied 15-15 with 8 outs left. I ended up having 1 out left, still tied, with no one on. LOL. Swanson hit a double, and Devers is coming up against a righty. After a NINE pitch at-bat, he hits a 2-run home run to win it, and finish the 4th inning! I am VERY happy. I then go to open the packs. I got two the show packs. 1st: Mike Soroka. Eh. @Ikasnu knows what happens next.

2: MIKE TROUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, I auto-flipped. lol https://twitter.com/cut4/status/1141506785116925952?lang=en
My first Question: Ramone, why not earlier?
Second: Ramone, Thank you! Ok, not a Q, but still.
I now just have to have the other two 4th inning bosses orders go through, and then I almost have the 5th inning done. If anyone wants to hit sell now on Torre and Hernandez, plz do. When I do, I sell Mo for 290K. I then get deGrom and Trout. Oh wait....... I will then be CLOSE to getting Mantle!

KEY from the title:
The first Happiness: I was tied 15-15 with 8 outs left
Worry: No one on, 1 out left
Happiness #2: When Devers, who is my dad now, hits a home run
SCREAMING: DUH, Trout!
Light-headedness: When I sat down after screaming that I got Trout, and getting a "So?" response form my mom.
Why the 4th inning is the best: I actually finished it, and Trout.

When I originally won the showdown, I was going to put up a post saying "LS Devers is my dad," but I got to say A LOT MORE
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

Merry Christmas everyone! In this tough year, I always enjoy coming on here to see what people are up to, and this has been a place of comfort for me. I lost my great-grandpa this year, which was really tough on me. What did I do when I was sad, sometimes crying? Come read what funny jokes people had, and the awful ideas people were proposing. (Even me)
Again, thank you for listening to me over this time that I have been here, and being a getaway from this nasty thing we call life.
I hope that you all are safe, and able to enjoy Christmas with your family!

I think that it would be awesome if there were a batting cage mode. You could try out a DD card before buying it. It could also be like The Playground in NBA2K. I don't want to buy a card and then not like the feel of it. Thoughts?

@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in Pout-Quitters: Idea For Dealing w/Them:

4. The CPU will pitch fastballs in the strike zone for the remainder of the game.

5. The CPU will not swing under any circumstances.

What?????

I have noticed that lately, Mods have been more active in responding to people’s problems on here. Was rare, but is now more common, which I like. Props

if you aint cheating you aint trying, cheating has been going on in sports since the inception of sports just sometimes people get caught. had they admitted to it, no worries water under the bridge.

I knew this was coming.....

He played Jackie Robinson in the movie, 42, and died on Jackie Robinson day. I was looking forward to him in Black Panther 2. You will be missed by all. RIP

I have Mantle! At least, I have a buy order in for Justin Verlander, then I am done. I will be playing my first RS game in a LONG time. My SP: Orel, who I will be buying once I get Mantle done. (With the collection stubs)

So I’m currently in double a with the cubs. Have had this player for a week or two. Seiya Suzuki just got added to the game. Is there a way to get him onto the big league squad to play with him when I make it to the majors? Or would I have to start over?

@shaunnbd_psn said in Suzuki:

From my understanding, Suzuki needs to play 5 innings in North America in order to be eligible for his name and likeness to be used. Once the first game of the season is played, you will likely see him in the next roster update. You may notice you can't purchase his jersey yet in the team store, unless you customize one. Should expect him soon.

Ok, that makes sense
But I believe I saw a picture of them selling his jerseys at ST in the team store. Who knows
Thanks for the info!

So I’ve been pretty inactive on here, therefore this might have been asked. But will the king himself Seiya Suzuki be in MLBTS22? It worries me how shogo akiyama wasn’t in it for a bit. Does this mean I’ll when to wait for the Suzuki cards?

Ask me at around 12:05am EST.

Update?

No Suzuki

GOSH DANG IT SDS

So I’ve been pretty inactive on here, therefore this might have been asked. But will the king himself Seiya Suzuki be in MLBTS22? It worries me how shogo akiyama wasn’t in it for a bit. Does this mean I’ll when to wait for the Suzuki cards?

Do I get bonuses for pre-ordering the game physically, or only digitally?

Sounds like the negotiations are “moving along”. At least more than before!

I know this is unpopular opinion, but I’m glad Bonds and Clemens didn’t get in. IF Ortiz did sterilizes (never confirmed like the other two were) he stopped before he was actually good. Bonds and Clemens took them while they were good.
When I went to the HOF in November I thought it felt very “Holy”
Yes, I know some people have gotten in after using PEDs. But these two players did it KNOWING it was against the rules. I personally am glad they didn’t get in. I am prepared for the hate I am about to receive.

We’re all doomed

@oreorockstar_psn said in Starting Pitcher dominance:

Great job, Raes. You are spot on with everything. It would have been nice if SDS would have acknowledged these issues and just said “we can’t fix them this year due to coding, but will address for next year”.

But will they really address them next year? Probably not. Lol

@jz2016cubs_psn said in What a game!:

That might have been the best game I’ve ever played. I had 99 Burnes, he had 99 deGrom. It was a scoreless game into the 8th. I had one hit, and was throwing a perfect game. Then Patrick Wisdom hits a solo HR to break up my PG. I’m ticked, but keep going. I then give up another run in the 9th. Bottom of the 9th, down two. I have 2nd and 3rd no outs. One single ties it. I couldn’t get a run across, but that might have been the best game of DD I’ve ever played. So suspenseful, but a great game by both sides!

Great to see guys that can take a loss and tip their hat.
Just played one of my most fun games of the year and it was a 2-0 loss.
Ryan vs Burns for him. 6-5 hits, lots of hard contact, he was just a bit better and ranked a little higher (750 to my 675).
I don't mind losing if my opponent plays straight up and with respect.

Yeah. And I played three games after that. The first one is a rage quit. Second is a dashboard. Third he took as much time in the pause menu and waiting to pitch that he could. I had some hope for this community. Nope. Lol
