Totally cool with the implementation of these Stamina restrictions on SP.

That being said, can I bring in a reliever and not have him be tired after 9-10 pitches? It is almost impossible to get through an inning with a reliever if your opponent fouls off a couple pitches, without them going into the yellow and their pitches becoming flat & rocked.

SDS have any thoughts on this? We all know the energy bar never gets full for our RP even if they rest for 20 days, so maybe that is the problem? Something needs fixing along those lines.

Game is hilarious and there is no need to care about rating, or rank, or anything. Get into a game and give zero "f" words, because the game is going to do what it wants, when it wants. GG.

I would suggest not getting to 100 wins until that pack becomes available, just in case.

If it's between Mo and Mantle, Mantle wins.

I am over this. Just saying. Cheers.

I was getting destroyed by Paxton for 7 or 8 innings, but once he switched pitchers, he lost. I came back and won it in the 8th and 9th. So satisfying.

• Correlation does not always equal causation.

You probably lost a lot of people there, and I love it!

I think they have a couple of dartboards with the different options. One board for Innings, one board for QC or not, one board for # of Rewards, another for how many wins to get to the Rewards, and so on. They break this out in as many ways as possible, with as many boards as possible, and let everyone throw one dart, at one board each to determine the event.

This is the only explanation.

Did the feedback change after the ball landed? Because I have had that happen many times. Newest update was supposed to fix it so that you didn't see Perfect/Perfect on those anymore, or not as often maybe?

That Donaldson price, legit! lol congrats to those that get that sale! Also, the graphic on the card is so fricken good! 11/10 rating

Gallo gets +4 to reach Diamond. Walsh gets +0

Chapman gets -2 and gave up a Grand Slam to Walsh. But Walsh gets +0

SDS takes away 8 contact v L for Walsh, after he hits 3 HR against lefties in the last 8 days.

Walsh batting average, .282 HR 22

Gallo batting average, .239 HR 23

Just funny how...

You’re looking at batting averages???
What is this, 1990???

Does contact not relate to batting average? Gallo's contact went up, yet he has a worse average? If those two aren't connected then so be it, but seems quite logical to me.

I don't see a reason to quit. Some people read books in their free time and I play games. It's not like you get a career, family, kids, etc. and all of a sudden you have to change everything just to "be an adult".

I mean, I feel like it’s generally unproductive

You can take up a new hobby, like wood working and that will be productive... do whatever you want my man. It is your life to live.

This update made no dam sense to anyone other than they were very brutal to all of the new ratings. I think its bc there is a stub sell so people who invested heavily took an L and will buy stubs

I'm just wondering if I should put some orders in for Renfroe. I see alit are selling for under 1100, so it wouldn't be much of a loss if he doesn't go Diamond.

But then again, I could end up with another loss, like Alcantara and Rojas, and the 100 I had of them bought at 1K a piece.

I think they need to start doing monthly updates. I know updates are how a.majority of people make their stubs; but to make someone Gold and then drop them back down two-four weeks later makes no sense.

Tapia went from silver to Gold in the last update. This update they dropped him back down to silver... He's been hitting same as before. Weird update.

At 1pm, I purchased 65 Jared Walsh cards at 3,001 stubs. From 12:58pm to 1:01pm I was unable to access the community market online lol. 65 orders in less than a minute lol. Won't have Chipper for a while.

@eatyum_psn said in Gallo Diamond, Walsh Not?:

Gallo has elite defense which helped him get diamond, can't just compare batting average and home runs

I mean, they took 8 contact away from Walsh... leave the contact if the man hit 3 dingers off of lefties this past week. No? And Walsh plays an elite first base. Dude has a cannon.

I do think Walsh should be diamond, I'm just saying Gallo isn't a good 1 to 1 comparison given that he has diamond defense, he wouldn't be a diamond otherwise. First base defense isn't factored valued as much in ratings

I gotcha. They actually have Walsh's arm strength at 40... dude was signed as a 2 way player lol no arm though, i guess

I think the mentality is, everyone wants to crush dingers and strike out the side. So giving everyone multiple options at the higher level feels like you're going to do that with these 90+ cards. The 90+ cards don't mean much after the 3rd inning, but that's why they give out so many, so that hopefully people play with the high 90's that they like, or their favorite players. Posada for instance will get a higher card, but people who love Posada have been using him since day 1 and may not switch until the higher 90+ Posada comes out.

Just my thoughts. It is what it is. Use who you want and with this system you won't be using a 78 against 93's.

Still rocking my p5 posada haha

See! I know you aren't the only one my friend!

They list Ohtani has a SP, so hit hitting upgrades don't boost him to a Diamond. I think that is what people were getting at. I don't believe it was a debate about whether he should be regarded as an SP or Hitter.
