@McGalamaad said in PLEASE fix the Outlier Quirk:

IMO I rather it be the same speed over and over, much easier to time up.

Yeah I get that, I feel like I'm a decent player but couldn't touch Pearson for 4 innings cause the kid was just spamming high 102 MPH fastballs which takes absolutely zero skill whatsoever. Just seems a broken and it gets old REALLY quick.

Just set the PCI high and sit fastball. If he throws you something soft you look dumb, but if he is truly spamming high fastball you should catch it and make him pay

@Mickdrenalen said in Possibly Two Player programs today!:

I wonder when if ever there will be 99's in the player programs

Literally the most recent player program (Cal Ripken JR) was a 99

Who cares what team he's from, that card is unreal

@BmoreBirds_3 said in TA Exchanges:

I’m sure this has been discussed before so sorry for the repeat. But does anyone know the most cost efficient way to complete the TA exchanges? Trying to get caught up on a few before stage 2 starts and getting a bit tired of playing showdown.

76 overall card x 5
77 overall card x 6
78 overall card x 4
79 overall card x 1

May not be the most cost effective, but it should be between $3-4k for each exchange.

Might be able to do it cheaper with Bronze cards but you'll need about 80 of them to exchange

New diamond Corey Seager slaps. If we're talking gold I have always loved Max Muncy's card.

Get mccovey or giambi

He said he had $31k to spend and you suggest an XP path reward and a guy who easily costs $210k+

@jonblaze2424 said in New conquest rewards:

HOW DO YOU PLAY CONQUEST! Still, after all of these years, i have no clue. Ugh

I just figured it out the other day. Not to bad just time consuming. And still figuring out when to sim and when to play

Only play the Strongholds and the steal fans games to get the tasks done. Just sim everything else

I rake with Max Muncy

3pm EST today. 5 hours..

Machado and Parker

Bet I’m sitting on a 12-0 pack

I don't think it works like that. You have to get the 12th win after the new flawless rewards are released

@Darlas1976 said in New stadiums coming in MLB The Show 20?:

In the collection section of the stadiums. MLB has a spot open, Classic has a spot open, and minor league has two spots open.

Could they add the Field of Dreams field since the White Sox and Cards play on that fake field in Iowa in August

Every month... Someone comes on here and suggests they do a Fernandez card.. never.. going. to happen.

Also, he's not even close to the Marlins goat. Not even top 25. He decided to end his and 2 of his friends lives before he could be called that..

So out of curiosity .. what are your thoughts on the Roy Halladay situation?

Halladay was by himself over water.

Jose was a kid, who got in a fight with his girl and decided to do a bunch a coke and drank, and speed race his boat killing 2 other people..

So 2 grown men can’t make the decision to not get on that boat? Just because Fernandez was driving the boat that killed them all, he’s full to blame for something they all were partaking in that night? Also, that’s complete speculation with the whole “girlfriend fight” being a reason to “do a bunch of coke” & “speed race” .. you speak on a dead man’s situation so easily, kinda odd. It’s as if you were there that night or have inside info.

But hey, hope you’ve been a saint your whole life my man. Such a shame a young rising star made a bad decision that ultimately took his life. So weird how he’s the only person in sports history to have that happen. What a truly HORRIBLE human.

Know the details. He would be in jail if he survived for 2 counts of manslaughter. Text messages tell a story of his fight with his gf. These are all facts.. facts we learned well after celebrating him..

Lol may I ask .. do you know anything at all about the sun-sentinel..? Or anything about the writers of the sun-sentinel? Ya know, since we’re talking about “facts” here.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/03/16/investigation-determines-jose-fernandez-was-driving-boat-when-he-and-two-other-killed/%3FoutputType=amp

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/investigation-into-jose-fernandez-crash-concludes-he-was-driving-boat-intoxicated/

Facts... If you read it, you'd realize it's not exactly a puff piece. It's actual toxicology and autopsy reports. These are the known facts

Those provide the basic “facts” already established, followed by “could have beens”. “Facts” are 2 grown men (who were also intoxicated, one of which also on coke) by their own choice, got on a boat with their friend, who they knew was also intoxicated. They knew Fernendez was operating the boat while impaired. A devastating crash took place while the boat was being driven by Fernandez, & that ultimately cost all of them their lives.

Did Fernandez murder his friends? No. You talk about it though like it was homicide. Involuntary manslaughter if anything. Would he have potentially been charged? Definitely possible.

Not trying to undermine what took place or say the decisions being made before getting on the boat were ok. To say he “murdered” those 2 people, is a stretch. Again, impaired or not, those 2 men used their judgement to get on that boat that night. There were no intentions of killing anybody out there. Just extremely stupid decisions leading to their demise.

If I get behind the wheel of my car grossly impaired and take two of my friends with me in the back seat I am responsible for their deaths. This is why every state has a version of DUI with Death. Fernandez choose to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. He killed those men, whether or not they should have gotten into the boat is irrelevant.

@buggstbone84 said in Team Affinity Points??:

So I'm like 5 points away from completing the Nationals stage 2 of Team Affinity but the goal will give me 10 points. Do those and any other points automatically roll over for TA 3 or will they be wasted?

Thanks for any help in advance

Just wait till Tuesday when stage 3 get release and you'll get credit for the 5 points of overlap

@jjsmith605 said in My latest Win:

Beat a dude in RS by 10+ runs and had 20+ hits. I was in a groove and he also kept throwing the same pitch after awhile. I had probably 3 of my 7-8 HR be on pitches low and barely out of the zone. A couple of them I was like "wow, not sure how that went out" but they did. Point of this post...... The dude afterwards messages me calling me a homophobic slur starts with an F, and told me I should be in the dumpster outside the abortion clinic lol He was so upset.... then I reported his message... is that petty?

He should be reported because the rules don't allow for hate speech.

Pretend you have to take a [censored] every hour and then buy a pack while sitting on the John.

Or just tell your work you have to use the bathroom at 3:55 EST which will let you buy the first flash sale pack on the tail end and grab the second before you leave the bathroom. Then go for one last bathroom break right before 6:00 EST and grab the 3rd if you really want a chance to grab the packs

Buy 86 Headliner bundles

@Oachs83 said in Unwritten rules in online play:

I will not throw you a high sinker unless you start spamming them. See it more in events and nothing but eye rolling when your very first pitch to me is a high inside sinker. That’s when I warm up my two primary sinker relievers and you will get the same treatment.

I get it can be an accident once in awhile but when it’s the first pitch of the game then two more follow it’s not. That being said usually the players that resort to pitching this way are not that great and it’s mostly an easy W.

I honestly never knew that it was taboo to throw high sinkers. Can you help me understand why? Second question, what would be my go-to for high strikes if my pitcher doesn’t have a 4-seam fastball and so I need to use my sinker for high heat (i.e. Orel, Burnes, etc)?

The reasoning is based in reality. In real baseball a Sinker high in the zone usually stays flat and gets pummeled. The physics of a high Sinker don't work

@luskc23 said in Tino Martinez.:

Soriano's best year was as a Chicago Cub, or even his 40/40 season as a National. I don't think he would be a Yankee card.

even so Soriano will always be remembered as yankee first

If we want to talk about the team guys will be remembered first, of the list you wrote, Knoblock was a Twin first, O'neill was a Red first, Wells a Blue Jay first, Cone was a Royal & Met first and Texiera was a Ranger & Brave first.

My point is every guy who played for the Yankees won't be a Yankees card just because that's one of the biggest fanbases.

@luskc23 said in What is Flipping?:

You buy cards on the market and then sell them for a profit

So you buy them, and then hope that there price goes up. Ok. Thank you so much!

To give an example. If you put in a buy order for 1000 on a random gold and get him then sell him for 1200 you will net 80 stubs.

Jimmy Rollins. For some reason I just rake with him and he has more HRs for me than Reggie

He's signing with the Braves. May want to grab him if you still need to finish the Braves collection
