People sleep on Walter Johnson. Dude has been HUGE for me this year

Agreed. Just prestiged him last night in the event, can't wait to try the new and improved Big Train later this week!

His prestige card has the below stats for me.

200 innings
2.02 ERA
.70 WHIP
BA VS RHB- .113
BA VS LHB - .108
240 K’s
17 BB

Card gets better out of the stretch too. Enjoy man!

I just picked him up with my 11th Inning program pack. I just might give him a shot in my rotation.. he isn't used that much which probably helps. I know I usually have a tough time against him unless my opponent relies on the fastball too much and gets predictable.

@KommanderNKeef9 said in WS reward:

If they even have a new player reward, needs to be Adley. Not many Catcher options that switch hit

They won’t put the same player as a WS reward twice in a season. Franco is about the only one that could possibly work as a new reward. Lefty Grove would work too but he was a WS reward last year and Griffey is the only card that had the same method of acquiring last year and this year

Great point! Completely forgot he was earlier!

Trout was my mvp hands down. I got into a pattern of bunt against the shift w griffey, 2 run bomb trout. Instant rage quit lol - honorable mention to mays

Drag bunt or show bunt from.the start?

You show bunt when the delivery starts. Then push the stick left. I did this with CarGo all day.

I thought it was right stick... oh man... was I doing it incorrectly this whole time?

Actually it might be. I can't remember.

Whichever stick it is I also push it to the left, to direct to the 3b line, but I don’t wait til the last second to induce a push or drag bunt, to do that you need good bunting attributes, and Griffey dosent have them

Pretty sure you move the right stick in the direction that you want to bunt before the pitch. I think you can feel a slight vibration

@Vipersneak said in Sds did verlander dirty:

He did not need outlier, but that would have worked too. They could have just gave him 99 mph straight up. 96 is low for him. I agree too about the rookies and even sub-rookies getting 99's all year. Sickening.

This is all I wanted right here! He really shouldn’t have a cutter but he throws slower than base fotf John smoltz really!? Kerry throws 3 mph harder at least he should have 98mph on his fastball which would allow him to occasionally hit 100. A 96 4 seam with his pitch selection makes him unusable on all star and everyone who watched JV pitch knows he hit 99-100 with ease and often throughout his starts just not early in the game.

Olerud and Isringhausen !!!!!! Asap

I took a dump on a twitch streamer last event game. Haha. The event is fun. Rewards do suck though.

Just checked my game history and 2 of my 3 dc losses have been erased. The two where I got disconnected before the first pitch. Doesn't seem like a big deal, but I appreciate it SDS

Playstation is not down. I don’t know why people keep saying this. I’ve been playing COD modern warfare & Star Wars Battlefront all night with no problems at all.

Even PlayStation itself acknowledges it's down and having issues, but nice troll

https://status.playstation.com/en-us

PlayStation is not down, it’s having problems but it’s not down. I’ve been playing mlbts 19 all night. Next time do some research before starting the name calling

Why don't you do some research? It says "You might have difficulties launching other games", and there have already been people in other threads saying other games they've tried don't work."

Wow, you called someone a troll for saying PlayStation was not down. That is an absolutely correct statement bud. PlayStation is not down that is a fact. PlayStation is saying they’re having problem but the platform is not down. You’re the one acting like a troll kid. Learn the English language before you criticize others. Have a good night

You haven't seen Jedi's trolling all over different threads, He has earned the title of troll, I really don't care what you think or what you say, he's a troll and I stand by that statement.

Also look, someone appealing to grammar, when you have to reach for that, you've already lost.

Dude, I’m not appealing to anybody. I’m just monitoring this thread to see if the problem has been resolved. But the statement that dude made was not incorrect and you decided to jump in and make a false claim that PlayStation is down when it wasn’t down. The platform is experiencing serious problems but it’s not down. That’s it, period, end of story.

Starting to think we might not since Freeman and Bieber have been revealed as TA4 cards, unless SDS is straight up lying to us. Bieber is almost certainly the AL Cy Young, and Freeman is a NL MVP finalist. Both would have been select locks.

I thought he was a WS reward not a BR reward?

I thought his swing was fine. Main problem for me was getting walked or hit by pitch half the time

As a Tribe fan that was brutal to watch. Just wasn't meant to be. I will say this, if that 9th inning blown save last night was a MLBTS game the loser would be crying RNG. That was some mega bs, smh.

i get 20 down, 6 up and I never get booted

Been saying this for years. Also been chastised for it for years. Been getting worse but this year is really bad. I think it has more to do with the pandemic and amount of people on the internet with this year being worse. Game needs better matchmaking. I would rather have 5 minutes getting a good connection than instantly finding a game with a bad connection.

I’ve read some of your posts about ping and they were all very intelligent and made sense.

I feel bad for people who don’t play much, and try out ranked for the first time and end up getting a bad game or a few bad connection games in a row.

I am a fairly competitive person and when you get those [censored] connections, and 93 is 110, it’s like you have to battle your already equally good opponent with a major handicap. I wonder if the opponent experices lag the same as you in a bad game or if it is just one sided.

I have 400 MBs hard wired , fiber internet that moves at the speed of light, and I try to be home game to ensure that I’m hosting. But you still get those bad games no matter what. Comebacklogic being in England with a smaller player base makes me think a lot of the millisecond delays and glitches might be a distance thing. Like if I get someone close to me (I’m in upstate ny) it’s smoother, but if I have to match with someone in Canada or California I have a better chance and experiencing latency induced glitches.

I’ve Also noticed when I speed test my PlayStation it maxes out around 70 down and 6 up, every other device in my house can pull 400/40. Not sure if that is part of the problem and I don’t know how accurate that PlayStation test is but no matter what I tinker with it stays at those rates on the internal test

I can tell usually in the first inning whether I am going to win the game or not and it has nothing to do with the opponent. I have mentioned numerous tell tale signs that I look for.

Haven't really looked into the playstation speed test too much. I have gig internet and am usually around 30 down/5 up on the ps. Heard it was capped but I have seen it around 80 up/80 down before but that is very rare.

My connection stuff are just theories since I don't have access to the actual data. I just know there is a serious connection issue somewhere. Could be my connection for all I know. I would like some connection info like pubg and other games have that tell my ping, packet loss and other things. With softball and corporate challenge more than likely being back, I will not purchase next year. I wasn't going to purchase this year but the pandemic changed that.

The up down doesn’t matter as much as the ping rate (and WiFi if your not wired). And it’s not just on your end but the opponents as well.

I’ve had same issues as stated here. One game no lag another game lag city. And like last night it seemed to be one sided. When I was pitching every pitch went to the plate in “slo mo” while my opponent was throwing 90mph fast balls down the middle and I was consistently “late” even on sell out FB swings.

@MaxHarvest said in Month long dead ball? Epic troll for honus:

Well I hope they see that without 70 power contact hitters are completely useless with no pop. The ball is always a weak grounder or lazy pop fly. These hitters should still be spraying the ball around the fielding and hitting the ball hard into gaps, even if it’s not perfect perfect. The times I’ve got the ball perfect it’s still these long fly balls, no hard hit line drives AT ALL. That’s a problem

I have hit two LD Gap shots in last two games. Griffy senior and Robles.

yea Griff Sr has been a good card for me for this event

I'm sure he's the player program, just posted early. Could be one of those fun cards to use.

I had the same thing with Chapman and Gagne tonight.
