@sbchamps17_NSW thank you, thought it might've been a mistake.

@supplication1975_PSN with the mercy rule, why quit? Stay in there against tough competition and try to take something away from it. There's a large group that "want" to face a scrub and just stockpile runs or bombs for clickbait if they can get the video or clip.

Play the games people

Is anybody else having an issue where the app is sending a Brian Reynolds supercharged message every couple hours? I don't know how much more supercharged this card can get. I can take a screenshot to show the frequency, just curious if anybody else was getting these messages for Reynolds or having a similar issue with another card. TIA

@AGStros_PSN I'd be happy to take a team if something becomes available.

@Jcassaro44_MLBTS season 4 should be just a free for all with all cards eligible and bring out the biggest, wildest cards they can think of. This is just an example but "all seasons eligible in season 4"

Season reward path bosses

Barry Bonds Giants 99
Greg Maddux Braves 99
Alex Rodriguez Mariners 99

Just give me something outrageous and let the ranked games get wild

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN even though we could juice the lineup against the pitcher? wtf lol

Maybe I'm alone in missing that option, just thought it was fun when you could platoon and get a left handed bat that was 125/125 vs RHP but terrible against LHP.

this seasons idea isn't appealing. I hate that I built up a solid roster in season 1 and it's essentially useless in season 2. There should've been more carryover to keep things alive and well.

@allday9128_PSN NAILED IT

@BLAISEBLAISE_PSN he has been on another planet lately. I was watching a game and the announcer said "Royce Lewis decided to start hitting like Barry Bonds for a while"

His numbers are gross.

I forget which version of the game ended this option but remember when it allowed you to create a lineup specifically against LH starter and RH starters? Can we get this back? I love setting my lineup to give myself a decided advantage and just have it default to this depending on my opponents starter.

I remember platooning some players because they were so dominant against one or the other.

...on today's daily Moment! Only needing a hit! It should have been at least required hitting a dong! I think the Moment should have been 3 dongs in 3 games as Cal hit a dong in game 2129, hit a dong in game 2130, and hit a dong in game 2131!

I will definitely not see 2632 broken in my lifetime since it will take 17 full 162-game seasons to overcome that record.

And the way organizations treat and train their players today, they made sure it will never be broken again.

You are correct sir! There are numerous records that will never be broken. Ripken, consecutive games played. DiMaggio hitting streak. Ryan 5700 strikeouts. Rose/Ichiro (however you look at it) all time hits. I’m 99% sure no one will ever hit .400 again and I’m 100% sure no one will win 300 games again. Nobody will sniff Bonds walks record….both single season and career.

Unless there's a catastrophic shift in the way the game is played this is correct. Nobody can stay healthy to play every game anymore, at least not many. Players strike out ALOT!!! so a batting average over .300 means you're in a small percentile. Even the Nolan Ryan strikeout record, there are so many pitchers who can get to the 6th inning and that's it. What kills me about this is players nowadays are supposedly superior athletes but they can't seem to handle the same rigors that the players of the past could.

Gallen has had a fantastic 2nd half, and he's turning into the best pitcher that no one knows. The media tends to ignore the D-backs (and, to be fair, that's their own fault... they haven't made a serious effort to be contenders for a while), but the lack of publicity around Gallen's streak is still disappointing. He's only one good start away from jumping to #3 on the all-time list. The record is 59 by Orel, then 58 by Drysdale, then 47 by Bob Gibson. I know it's not as revered and well-known as DiMaggio's streak, but 59 consecutive scoreless innings is just as mind-boggling to me.

I'm a White Sox fan, but I went to grad school in AZ so I adopted the D-backs as my 2nd favorite team. It's been a while since I've been this excited for their future! They've amassed a lot of really interesting prospects, and the franchise has shown a willingness to spend some money (even though they usually spend it poorly). There are some very high-priced superteams developing in the NL, but I think they're going to be very pesky in a crowded field.

This is a hot take, but I think AZ is in a better long-term position to be competitive than San Diego. AZ has significantly more payroll flexibility and trade capital, and they've still got several cost-controlled young guys on the way who will help in the near future. San Diego is spending money and gutting their farm system like their hair is on fire, and even still they are barely hanging on to the WC. The NL West should be very interesting in 2024 (and I think the D-backs could make it pretty interesting in 23, as well).

Well said and I completely agree. Gallen is a great pitcher and I was surprised to see Miami trade him away after having decent success early on with them. Arizona plays their games later being on the West Coast and to be honest ever since Goldy left they don't have that MVP type player in their lineup to market even if they wanted to. I got to visit Arizona in the fall the season they landed JD Martinez for that insane run and got to meet President Derrick Hall and Legend Luis Gonzalez at a conference. Hall was met with questions surrounding Martinez and if they would be signing him but he ultimately landed in Boston as we all know. I think they scout well, make some smart moves but one move that will haunt them forever is the Dansby Swanson trade, he would be that star they could market and build around.

The above comment is similar to what I do. I find the tendency of 100+ fastballs is they try to blow you away at the top of the zone. Start the PCI high and adjust as needed. Also, using hitters with higher contact and vision will give you a larger PCI and let you fight off pitches a bit more to see it as much as possible and tire your opponent.

There's a few threads about this, I have the same issue. Hopefully they patch this soon. Doesn't mess with gameplay just annoying.

It's a shame this isn't front page news from MLB. Gallen has been incredible the entire month and will most likely break the franchise record his next start. The earlier comments kind of show how little publicity it has considering somebody had zero knowledge of such a streak.

I think it's good enough that not everybody can complete, or won't attempt it, so it let's the upper tier players have access to specific cards.

@Dinger_Dan19_PSN said in DD uniforms/logo:

So why are my logos stuck? My buddy changed all my logos purple as a joke and now I’m stuck with them like that. Now he thinks his joke is awesome can this plz be fixed so I can stop hearing it all the time when I play him.

I have this same issue, I posted mine before I read this. I tried changing mine multiple times and they're just not changing at all.

I went with Wagner. Really liked him as a player and I never hit well with Jones or Gehrig so it made it easier to pass on them. He's probably the best LH option out of the pen?
