Even if you pull a Skenes, you would need to pull him around 12 times. What are the odds of that?

Infinitesimal. I've always wanted to use that word here in the forum.

That said... I'm only two cards away: Judge and Ohtani . So... about 1.3 million stubs. I'm focusing on other collections at this point, as those will be worth more to me than Tulo, Felix and Pujols (and Manny, Dustin, Nettles, etc.).

and they’re all like 60 and couldn’t spot a AI video if their Medicare depended on it

I resent that. I'm 62 and I can spot an AI video. I think.

Wait... What's AI?

Shark map!!!!

If they nerf the Shark Map this year...

I mean, it's been nerfed a little every year since I've been playing. 5 standard packs for everyone!

I've completed the LS every year since I started DD in 2020, usually by May. I don't see how I'll do it this year without pulling Ohtani or Judge. I have over 600k in stubs, but I'm focusing on the other collections at this point. Feels weird, though.

I'll be honest. I really thought the folks on this forum who are complaining about "bots" were making this up.

I went to Showzone to see if there was anything worth flipping. I haven't done much flipping this year, but I had some time to kill while waiting for my daughter-in-law to finish her first Ironman (she finished - pretty amazing).

I digress... So, I start putting in some orders on some high-margin home run calls, and I'll be damned if every time I put in an order, 5 seconds later a bid came in 1 stub higher. Over and over and over. I just started laughing.

So, I'm now in the "bots exist" camp. Sorry for doubting you.

Now, I'm going to do a little research on crop circles.

but man sometimes you wonder.

It's unfortunate, but I've started to think this way.

I did a playoff series where Al Leiter started all three games. The next series had three different starting pitches. Was a bit baffled by that.

I'm playing 9 inning mini seasons, and I see the same thing. Leiter's stamina is 999.

Every little bit helps.

100% I needed two, so this was nice.

It seems like the target doesn't want to move with the right joystick.

I think I had issues with that. If I remember, there's a setting when you can "invert" the joystick movement and I was able to complete it. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong... I'll take a look when I log in later.

So... I went into "Settings", "Camera", "Axis", and turned on "inverted" for both. Plus, this moment is weird as you have to move the left stick to catch the ball, then the right stick to aim for the throw.

I was on the other side of this... I loaded into a game, the screen froze for 30 seconds, got the "lost connection with opponent" message, but I was credited with the win. Sucks for the other guy, but I got my lowly 5 pack with a LS Buxton card. I'll take it, but it felt dirty.

Well, I'm down here in Bronze II land. I only played a few RS games this cycle.

Game 1: I was the away team, playing in a weird created stadium with really short walls and pouring rain. First pitch, down and in fastball to Mikey, and popped it out. He disconnected mid-air.

Game 2: Loaded into game, waiting for it to start and... "Lost connection with opponent". Another win!

Game 3: Retired my opponent 1-2-3 in the top of the first. In the bottom of the 1st, I scored 5 runs and he quit. At least he let my last HR land.

Game 4: First pitch of the game, my opponent throws a fastball right down the middle, my new Elly card hits a perfect/perfect HR, he quits before it lands.

I'm 4-0 and haven't played a full inning yet. The leaderboard in my group says 4 wins, 0 losses, 5 runs scored. I'm the best player in the world!

My online games this year have all been totally fine.

Me too. Every 20th game or so I'll run into a [censored], but most people I play seem to be pretty cool.

Wait... The word j3rk is censored? I didn't know I had such a filthy mouth. I apologize to everyone here.

@DeleteyourTTVBTW_MLBTS said:

Game is super fun online or offline as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

100%

Plus... I've said it before and I'll say it again... Your user name cracks me up every time.

@nymets1987_PSN said:

They want u to play BR for 3 inning games and spend 1500 stubs

I'm still sitting on my freebie entry...

@Busta-21_XBL That's where I'm at. Every year, I focus on LS, but given the prices, I think I'll just focus on other cards and collections.

@Ericulous1_XBL said:

Justin Turner? Fitting

I agree.

However... I don't know what it is about his swing, but I love his cards. Fun fact: my first ever online hit was with a Justin Turner card. So... maybe I'm just sentimental and I stink with his card.

MOONSHOT CARD INCOMING.

@rubicante23_PSN said:

How much better can he be than the Live Series with inside edge?

Yordan's LS card is one of the few "bigger" diamonds I have pulled this year. I've got him to P5 and love that card.
