O
I’m in my 40s , seen and heard almost everything and try to keep politics out of the “fun” here. But when I see a team with their CAP a large black man with the name “ I can’t breathe LMAO”, that offends and pissed me off.
I think I botched my reporting online, and there isn’t an option to try again. How do I get this BS banned?

Guess what, you’re not that good.
If you need to pitch P5 DeGrom for 8 2/3 and then bring in Mariano Rivera for the last out, you’re kinda missing the point imo.Sure, winning is fun, but don’t kid yourself.
Well, to say it straight, if you can’t hit Degrom on AS in RS at this point in the game, that’s on you.
CBrev is the only guy I will watch as his tips are fantastic, he constantly makes fun of himself, and he doesn’t act like a petulant child when things aren’t going his way.
Yes, I am that guy that has to come to this forum feeling proud he made WS for first time.
I am closer To 50 than 40, and a baseball die hard. I coach my son’s travel team which is one of the best in the country for their age and we bond over the sport. I have played the show for ages but always RtTS , but he turned me on to DD last year for first time. I loved collecting cards as a kid so was hooked and while it took me a bit to adapt to the speeds of RS, made Championship series most seasons but would always die in low 800s.
This year I only made one attempt prior to this season but made the mistake of trying to go from 600 to 900 WS on 5 days and it just burnt me out having To try to play multiple games on days I was clearly off, peaking around 865 than sliding back…. I thought I wouldn’t even try again as I don’t really like RS but decided to give it one more shot and do it slow this time. Went 16-3 on the season and hit near .300 which is good for me.
Anyway, my wife’s eyes would roll so fast she might suffer brain damage if I tried to explain this “accomplishment” to her so you guys are one of the few places that might appreciate my story.
Thanks to those who made it this far in my post…this “old guy” for this community and game signing out.
Cheers ( yes, I will shamelessly rock the WS icon for a short while 
)
Woke up determined to beat Showdown so I didn’t have to P5 Wood and grind 2 25k Pxp rewards.
I had lost to Chapman my first 2 showdown attempts but got strategic on my draft this morning and beat Chapman with 4 outs remaining and Ryan with 3.
I had all 100 plus contact vs lefty in lineup a Randy and defeated him with 17 outs to go ( he was easiest of the last 3 due to my drafting).
Feels good to be done. I am a slightly above average player so if I can do it, any of you can.
Good luck and thanks for reading. My wife and daughter would just roll their eyes on my excitement.
You don’t get mad anymore, huh?
I would have done the same as you....First off, these goofs who give themselves dumb names like that annoy me (Fuzzy, Shelby, etc..), ...only guy I like is Cbrev as he constantly makes fun of himself and doesn’t act like an infant when things don’t go his way).
And why they have to act like that when they know they will win I never get. As annoying as bunt dancing is, those guys who take an extra step lead at first every time may be more annoying. I will step off every single time and make the game go forever for them to get the win...not going to pitch.

THEY DID NOT PATCH ANYTHING WITH THE DROP IN SINKER UP HIGH.......
Because you said so?
Dude, you must have a miserable life. Always confrontational, always acting like a clown. Seems to be guys with usernames with Killer and Psycho that have this behavior. Feel sorry For you, hope you find some happiness.
@PhillyRunt44 said in For those who exchange TA:
321 63's at 8 stubs a piece. Works out to about 3kish. Gotta be patient though put them all in at once but it may take a day or do to complete them all....
That sounds awful in order to save a few thousand stubs.....again, what is your time worth ?
As a person with deep Native American roots, I never found any of the team names or mascots offensive. Now I don’t speak for everyone of course, just my 2 cents....( this current state of everything being scrutinized and people looking to be offended drives me crazy)
Well said. I can deal with all the 7th grade humor genitilia joke names ( I thought they were funny back when i was that age), but no place for this....

Cool story brah
Cool reply. Wouldn’t be surprised if the OP was playing you or one of your buddies, same type of douche bag attitude.
@Crimson_Monk said in Dashboarding list:
Put me on it if I feel like the game screwed me
Yep, typical response here ..... I only dashboard when my perfect release pitch floats right over the middle for a homer so I act like an infant and screw my opponent out of something to teach SDS a lesson....

I was shot in the head via a drive by when I was 17.
Please tell us more. I NEED to know more.
I was 17 living near Clearwater FL, junior year of HS. Driving home one Friday night after going to a party ( nice suburban neighborhood), had my window down and only 1/2 mile from home and a truck pulled up next to me with a bunch of guys in the back....They yelled “I’m going to kill you” and I heard something and felt something hit me in the head...I thought they had thrown a rock ( they U turned immediately and took off)...I put my hand to my head and it was all sticky and wet, and I felt a big lump on top left side of head.....
Somehow with adrenaline I made the drive home, got to my front door and was so shaky I couldn’t get my keys in so banged until my mom came down ( she was yelling at me why I wasn’t using my keys)...She opened the front door angrily than almost fainted as my light colored tee shirt I was wearing was soaked in blood as was my face, neck, etc......
To shorten it up, they had shot me with a 9 mm( thank god nothing bigger) and the bullet entered at the perfect angle to follow the shape of my skull up and lodge under my skin at the top of my head as opposed to piecing the skull into my brain... rushed to ER, shaved head, cut it out, police came, everyone told me how lucky I was, and never figured out who or if there was a why it happened..... crazy story, and very blessed I can tell it 28 or so years later...
@Onyx_Hokie_2 said in People Amaze Me at Times:
I got matched up with a player in Ranked Seasons who came in with a record of something like 11-65. I decided to pitch to contact to give this person a chance to hit.
I threw meatball after meatball, and this person struck out time after time, including multiple times on flat fastballs right down the pipe.
Eventually, they hit a long home run and I triggered the replay. I took the lead with a 4-spot in the 4th or 5th, and I continued to throw strikes on every pitch, the only very rare exceptions being when I missed the zone by a few inches. In other words, I was basically being as nice as I could be throughout the game. There was zero chance of me losing, so why not? Why not in any case, really... although it's rare that "nice" translates into 70 down-the-middle fastballs in a game.
Anyway, whoever this person is responded by beaning four or five of my players, calling time with the home plate umpire as often as possible, and just generally being as obnoxious as they could.
I've been online for far, far too long for any kind of behavior to surprise me anymore, but it's still amazing to see someone acting like a [censored] for no reason, let alone in the face of generosity.
Unlike some of these Jack A** replies, I feel for you. Guys like that suck the fun out of the game.
I played an event game earlier and matched up with a guy who I could tell was good. He got a single with Cobb than the antics started with insisting on taking the lead ( or the double step and back taunt) so for almost 10 minutes I would wait until they made my pitcher come set, and step off.
This went along with bunt dancing. I held him to a run and hit a couple homers off Pearson by just waiting in the high fastballs to win 3-1 , which felt fantastic. Checked his record and he has a high season of around 960, so a guy that would kill me in a 9 inning game. But I love sticking it to these type of players any chance I get.
People’s ego can not handle losing in a video game. Plus, people are very comfortable being dbags behind a keyboard and saying things they would never have the courage to say in person.
BR, conquest mystery map, mini seasons, RS, events all Give rewards outside of xp. Plenty of ways to still play and earn things.
Well, I can pretty much guarantee 4000 packs will get you everything you need for TA exchanges.
The just announced Flashback 99 Josh Hader will sure be used.
I have posted a few times in other threads that the only thing really left for me to try and do was pull Trout as out of the thousands of packs this year, he is the only one to allude me ( I think I have gotten Cole 10x, Verlander 7, etc.).
Finally happened today and unfortunately I was flying thru opening a bunch from rewards and didn’t even watch the animation as I just hit the turnover button by mistake . Figures...
So I just bought all the new RIB ( I will still play some), and still have 7.5 M stubs. Wish I could figure out how to get them to my son as I don’t see anything else coming to spend them on.
Hope all of you are finishing your last challenges.
