Hey, let's get a mother's maiden name thread going too...

I agree that it is rarely a good idea to answer these types of questions on a public forum, even if the original intention was not nefarious.

That being said, you should never answer those types of security questions truthfully. They are typically really easy for scammers to find out. Come up with some kind of cipher that will make made up code words easier for you to remember, or just make up answers based on things you like.

Example:

Dog’s name? Krypto (Superman’s dog)

Mother’s name? Martha (Why did you say that name?!?!)

First car? T.A.R.D.I.S

And no, I’ve never actually used any of these.

So.... where do you live?

1313 Mockingbird Lane.

That is in Croatia right?

Oh snap, nothing doing but I see what you mean. I'll cut it out.

Ok, I won't believe you stop it until you do though!

You got it.

That's why, if given the opportunity, I always use the "Favorite book/movie/song" questions that don't offer an opportunity to trackdown PII.

I have never thought of that. Thanks.

Rocky, named after the Rockies. Also why my DD team is named the Rockies. Named for the dog, which is named for the team.

Love all of that.

I would like to know what data is being used to determine arm strength. First you had the comical underrating of Mookie Betts arm, then I look at Tim Anderson's rating and noticed his arm strength is in the 50's. The 50's? You would have had to never see him play ever to come up with that number. He has a cannon. There are numerous other examples as well. But this one stood out to me as it is absurd.

EXAMPLE: https://youtu.be/FbnY207TSP4

Hes's one of the more popular players in the league!

What does popularity have to do with this?

By him being popular within the world of baseball and spoken about oftenly, I'd figure his strengths and weaknesses would be known by people who develop a simulation on major league baseball. As I assume they watch a lot of baseball. Or would hope so. I'm skeptical at times.

You know so much more than them. They should hire you.

I can sense your sarcasm. But I believe I do know more about baseball. A lot of us on here do as evidenced by the product put out. And you don't have to take a sarcastic tone with me. If your opinion differs that's fine, but why waste the energy being negative towards me?

Oy vey.

My girl is Rizzo. Not named after Anthony.

Expect a stub sale, that seems to happen when we need to deflate the market. At least, that's what they did last time! grrrr

Stub sales deflate the market?

Nope, it does the opposite, which is exactly what my post says. Darn troll didn't read closely this time! It's OK champ, there's always tomorrow.

Is this you Greg?

It's that darthdog person..issues I tell ya

Why do you play this game if all you do is constantly complain about it? Just stop playing, or at least posting about it.

Why read my post and comment then ? I havent really posted anything for the last 2 weeks

Well for one, a comment has to be read before deemed nonsensical.

Yeah, well that may be true.... But if all I do is complain about the game and the title of the post is fairly obvious.. Why waste his time reading it ?

Because people love to see car crashes and the like.

@KOTANK1334 said in Why this game is ridiculous:

Another event game.... 5 hits against me ALL 12 PCI. Why are we rewarding this ? What really gets me is that 2 of these were up the middle and my DIAMOND fielders couldn't get to them for a double play. How is a 12 PCI coming off the bat with such speed that this happens? Oh yeah... this game is horrible.

If you'd like to donate your copy, mail it to me and I will make sure it gets to the boys home in my neighborhood.

@Steelerof3Rivers said in Was losing 7-2 in the 7th, Offered friendly quit:

And the rest is history lol...My opponent was kicking my [censored] 7-2. Middle of the 7th I requested a friendly, He chose to turn it down like a fool. That started the friendly quit glitch...I then starting hitting everything and scored 6 runs and walked off with the win in the bottom of the 9th. Anyone that doesn’t think the friendly quit glitch is real is missing out. Until SDS fixes it, ALWAYS offer it folks.
...
I'm confused,

You were losing 7-2, requested a friendly quit, he said no?

He believes that by having a Friendly Quit rejected, the RNG mojo will swing back in your favor, resulting in a comeback.

Talk about what the kids call "cheesing". Sounds like there is some manipulation going on. The RNG nonsense is just that.

The is no friendly quit glitch just a lame excuse to talk about a comeback you made. I’ve lost 2 requests all year that I can remember.

You must be a primarily offline player then lol

I exclusively play online and I have never witnessed a "friendly quit glitch".

@Thebeev718 said in Question from a newbie:

Hey everyone!!

I just started playing MLB The Show this year and I’m loving it! I have a question about diamond dynasty if you don’t mind...

When I play DD I usually just play ‘regular season’ but I’m at the ‘Pennant Race’ level. Should I be choosing the same level of my ranking??

Thanks!

You don't choose. That screen just shows the awards for each level. Win you go up, season ends, you get reward accordingly.

100 mph
Walter Johnson
Johnson's 3,509 career strikeouts (ninth all time) don't look too impressive when you consider just how many innings he threw (nearly 6,000), but there's no doubt about his arm. He's still considered one of the best to ever throw a baseball, and it's estimated his fastball could reach 100 mph.

Thank you bleacherreport.com
