Okay but p/p with 88 power at the metronome to just right of center with an exit velo over 100. Its just frustrating that i have been so terrible with hitting recently and i finally do what im supposed to and get nothing. But when I'm pitching they can pull an off speed low outside breaking ball 450 feet. Or I'm on my marks for a pitch and it gets hung over the middle of the plate and I lose 1-0. I'm not one to batch and complain but before 1.04 I was 11-2 in RS, and now I can't buy a win.

Kirby Puckett

I got Kirby Yates from Twitch drops, got Yelli and Morton in the 20 pack pre order

I pulled Trevor Story from one.

Thank you, that is what I needed to hear. I havent been making any head way on affinities and need to try something different

I'm pretty sure during the developer streams pre-release they said that outcome was a homerun. Well I just proved them wrong. New Future Stars Kirilloff versus Reyes from previous years in event at the Metrodome and it was a 101 warning track shot. How does that work?

Hey, believe me, I’m sympathetic. It would be great if we had an update to that claim which told us what the chances of a perfect/perfect 80 power fly ball are of leaving the yard now.

I don’t think we’ll get one.

Definitely not, oh well, I guess no more online games and I will stick to the frustration of the CPU dotting corners on Veteran until I learn to "work the count" to actually be able to hit the ball.

Why aren’t you answering my question? Was it a p/p fly ball or a liner? I’ve found that many of my P/p feedbacks go for hits (in RS, Events, conquest, Custom League games, MTO and the few v CPU games I’ve played for program completions) and the overwhelming majority of the P/P fly balls have been HRs for me, some P/P liners have gone out but many are “screamers” that get snagged and I’ve also had success on P/P grounders. I’m sure it’s just a run of bad luck.

Hang in there and maybe switch up your players. I’ve noticed that I play much better with some players that aren’t as highly rated as others.

And if you are concerned about toxicity on the forum, try not spouting forth toxicity about the forum (referring to your most recent complaint). Just a tip for later use.

Cheers!

No worries man, I don't know if it was a p/p fly or liner but if I had to guess it was a fly. The CF had time to get back and get under it. Its wasn't a screamer right at them. I have been trying to swap players a little more often now and that was my first game with FS Kirilloff. Lately I have been mashing with LS Sanatna from CLE.

As for the toxicity, I was just trying to call the troll out. I'm not on here much and very rarely post anything. So when a troll does what they do, I wanted to just ask why. And then I was laughing at the language filters that censored da,mn, tu,rd, and another that I can't even remember. Nothing vulgar just words that can be used instead of curses.

That sucks, i got 4 ks previously and thought it would be a cake walk, and then I swapped out i guess my RP with a CP. Either way saying a CP isn't a RP is like saying a CF isn't an OF

I got it done with the PS Morton

Hobby boxes and packs usually have better odds but higher cost. As the other poster said, it is down to Topps/Bowman with a MLB license (team logos), and Panini/Donruss with the MLBPA license (just the players with airbrushed out logos). Prizm is a special release from Panini. Fat packs are the packs you see at retail stores (Target and Walmart) that usually consist of like 30+ cards. You can also have boxes that will get you around 70 cards, and jumbo boxes (but I can never find them) with even more, I think around 120 or so.

Cards are severely inflated right now because so many people with extra time on their hands are getting back into it, and celebs and even players are talking about cards that they collect. If you want a really good way to get back into it, I have found that a majority of the Twitter people that I interact with are really inviting. There are a ton that do stack sales of individual cards, you pick what you want, they give you the total including shipping. Also you have "breakers" that buy boxes and cases, sell spots for teams or random spots in their breaks and then ship out all carss that are opened from that box that match the team you pick or receive.

There is a ton of info and no one stop "cards for dummies" space to pick it all up. But good luck as I just recently got back into it too and spent about $300 of the "stimulus" that I got lol
