I had the opposite experience with these ones. I got soooooooo many cheap homeruns right at the right field foul pole.
This was the first set of moments I was able to get through on the first few attempts of each one.
I did have a couple diving catches to rob some hits and line drives right at someone, which was frustrating.

That sucks.

Personally, haven't had that happen on a MTO run.

Might try posting this in the MTO space on the forum to see if you get a better response rate. If you haven't already.

Man does anybody have advice how to beat Verlander? I have no issues with Ohtani. But when I get to Verlander I can’t put two hits back to back. And eventually somebody hits into a DP before I can move the runners around. I’m 3 rounds through losing on Verlander

Verlander throws a lot of dots on the edges. Just try not to chase anything low in the zone or off the outside edge. Those usually result in grounders for douple plays.

Wait for something up or work a walk in that situation. Then bunt runners to second and third. That's been my strategy for most of the final stage 1 bosses.

It only works like that in Conquest, not if you play against CPU to complete a mission like "beat team x on allstar or higher"

Its been working for me everytime still in play against CPU for those missions.

Kinda correct.
It's actually by the overall of your pitcher you choose. If you put your highest overall sp in the 5th spot, you'll still get the cpu's ace. If you put your lowest overall of your 5 sp in the 5th spot, then you will get the cpu's 5th starter.

I've started to grind the stage one divisional showdowns once the patch came out. I've had much more success on those. Still fail every now and then, but more successes than not.

The 2nd inning and beyond showdowns were put into the game being easier than the stage 1 and first inning showdowns. Like most moments you start with runners on base. I have yet to fail the stage 2 NL showdown. 5 for 5. Too bad I havent gotten most teams stage 1 done lol. That's my current grind.

I just finished my second ever half marathon. I'm not much of a runner, so it was a journey this morning.

Or

In playing mlb the show diamond dynasty since it first started, I finally, for the first time ever, pulled Mike Trout from a pack last night.

I'm way more excited about Mike Trout.

I've been grinding NL Central. It's the exact same for me every time. Luis Castillo is the first boss, jack Flaherty is the second, josh hader is the final boss.

You know, the odds of getting a card you want when you buy it off the market is 100%.

Better than 2% chance of a diamond in a pack.

Do we think this will make the stage 1 showdowns any easier? I still need to grind those.

Don't get to a game 7.... I think it always drops you into the top of the 1st.

Cant believe they changed double points in MTO. There is no point to the mode anymore.

I was really hoping that would sneak through

Of course they fixed it... they loosing money from micro transactions by giving out double the points...

Lets fix something what benefits the people and made them play a mindless grinding mode. Take xp's away for other modes.
Priorities are still obvious
Fielding is still garbage and hitting and pitching is still rng...

I mean, I wasn't holding my breath, I knew it would get patched. But just hopeful it wouldn't get patched so quick.

I completed it once with Griffin Canning, of all pitchers, against the rays. Got full player boost for the season and a lot of momentum.

I have failed that challenge at least 4 other times, though.
