And also the haters, hope y'all have a wonderful day and be careful with the fireworks.
As a military member I thank you. Also it will be a good day for me on the game with one more event win for 25 total.
Cliff Lee - 1819/1834
Very happy about this one and I've got a few more close, if I do it correctly I should have Shane Victorino in a few days.
This leads me to ask....who was your first Parallel V and what's your number for it?
So who is excited to see these all-stars when TA3 comes out on the 12th?
As a Phillies fan I'm happy we had 2 members get selected....J.T and Wheeler

Man I'm at 5 and stopping at 25 if I ever get there. Maybe I'll go to 30, depends. I'm not that good and only play the event for like an hour a day.
I literally spent the last 12 hrs grinding, got to 17 wins. But for me, all-star, is above what I usually play so for me this is difficult but it will help me be better... I hope.

What do you do at SDS outside of the forums?
Everything related streaming, so Feature Premieres, Content Streams, Players League and so on. Either editing, doing graphics, directing, and sometimes even showing up on stream. That is how I got my nickname, "Control Room Collin" if you watch the streams. One behind the scenes secret, the entire Players League was broadcasted out of my living room.
Everything related to the Scouting Report.
And a whole bunch random things like the Instagram Filter in '20 and Twitch Drops. Lots of stuff to do! I come here because I like to be part of the community and engage with fans.
Thank you for engaging with the fans in the community.

You got this!
Thank you for the encouragement!
62 games in and I'm at 22 wins, such a grind but I'm almost there

And yes ik that record sucks, I'm not used to playing online
We seem to be similar. Historically I win about 1 of 3 event games. I think I am at 18 - 34 right now. I really hope these wins carry over to the next event so I can maybe get to 50 wins.
I can't believe all the insanely good records that the people I play have. 30 - 3. 17 - 1. 13 - 0. I even managed to beat some of them who didn't seem quite as good as their record. (They hit the R2 button a lot!)
Speaking of R2. It doesn't seem fair. I've started stepping off the mound when they R2 me to death but there seems to be a limit of how many times you can do that in an inning. There does not seem to be an R2 limit.
I'm not even sure if this R2 thing actually helps.
I got to win #25. My overall record was 25-44 for a 36% win rate.
In ranked I'm 6-2 which is a surprise to me tbh.

This is what I’m not getting…my ranked record is 40-21but in this event everyone I play has an equal or better record…essentially i get no easy wins and that sucks.
The crazy record I saw during the event was 215-15 and I got destroyed that game.
On a side note the records they do show us is our ranked record not the event so I think out of the games I did like 10 were losing records in ranked.
@biigd008_xbl said in Pablo Lopez Topps Now coming:
Set major league record for consecutive K's to start a game.
Brad Miller of Phillies should get one to this week I'd say.
They added a new teir to some of the uniform collections with Headliner pack bundles as the reward.
Everything I was reading said Topps still has MLB rights till 2025 or 2026. I could be wrong though.

I just had an individual tell me to quit a game in an event game. I was only down 0-1 and it was the 3rd inning. I told them I wasn't going anywhere so they left. Very weird I'd say.

@desolator78_psn said in [censored] Polo Grounds:
Just had a ball hit to deep right center, ball bounced, landed on the bullpen roof, and roll around until Kelbert Ruiz was rounding 3rd base for an in the park HR. Gotta love the fact it wasn't the typical ground rule double, but was absolutely unplayable for 3+ seconds
I've seen that happen in prior years. Not fun to have happen to you but that feels so rare its entertaining to see imo.
I had a ball that I shot into the gap that hit the bullpen mound weird and died. Turned what was probably an inside the parker to I think a double.
Yeah had one that died on the wall back there myself. Just took a day for Ruiz to run home, was funny. I've had some strange goings lately, like a ball bounce off my left fielder's glove for a HR, bounced a good 6 feet off the glove.
I had that happen to me, threw it in and it bounced off the cut off guy. Sadly it was in inside the parker to make me lose the game
@SDS_Jax_PSN we need to know please. We don't want the historic moment to be lost on us.
I think it would be cool for it to be some kind of homerun derby style thing
@matrixtn_psn said in Today’s daily moment:
7/5 - Christy 300
Last 3 innings on Vet for 1
You can allow runs, just have to pitch the innings. Also it is in black and white
@dolenz_psn said in 2021 All-Stars:
I know this won't go over well, with you in particular, but I would have preferred to see Yadi go. The two are having similar years. Actually Posey is having a similar season as well (almost duplicate batting averages, HRs and RBIs for all three). Yadi, has actually caught more games this season than either of the other (younger) two.
That being said, Arenado was voted in and Reyes deserved to be added so the Cards have a couple guys on the roster.
I agree Yadi should of got in, you never know if this will be his last season. I was surprised J.T got in tbh

Almost there!!! Good stuff!!!
I got it then stopped. Might try for 30 wins but going to relax from the grind.
