If you need someone to talk to man, we’re All here for you, we’ve all felt the pain.

Last night I offered a guy a friendly before the game as he had an insane team and record, and people playing that late are always crazy good. He declined it, and he eventually quit once I got up 8-3 in the 8th inning. Felt pretty good.

How has everyone done with SS Maddux? Surprisingly I haven’t faced him yet. I’m not a huge fan of having a sinker, 4 seam, she cutter as 3 of his 5 pitches, but 97 control and good per 9’s are hard to pass up. Any comments or opinions would be helpful, thanks!

Anyone have any decent pack luck with the flash sale? I pulled 99 Scherzer out of the headliners one, which is probably one of the best you could do out of any of those packs, but other than that I pulled the low round/tier out of every other pack. Still will make stubs back if I choose to sell him though. What did y’all pull?

How cool would like a 97-99 topps now Brett Phillips card would be? I’d love that

I’m extremely thankful that I got to 500 stars in the 11th inning program yesterday and sold the fifth inning boss for 120 K. For the first time the MLB The Show gods were watching out for me.

I’ve used him for two games (about 11 innings) and he’s only allowed like 5 hits and he maybe has 15K’s. Small sample, but the sidearm mixed with 102 on the fastball has been good for me so far. And this year I suck at pitching lol

I’m currently at 844, and the previous highest ive been in previous seasons (and years) was like 750. Ballpark, How many More wins do y’all think it’d take, 3-4 depending on the rank of the player? Also, any tips for these last few games? I appreciate any feedback or help!

From completing TA’s after stage 3 came out. In about a week and a half span, I pulled Degrom 3 times, Bellinger, Arenado, and Verlander out of TA’s or Ballin’s. Never had any pack like that ever before. Since than I haven’t pulled anyone decent from doing TA’s. But it was fun while it lasted

For some reason the 85 player program Kerry Wood carves for me, sub 2 ERA over like 35 innings or so

I mean, how much more can they really increase his hitting stats?

Not saying it's impossible, but his hitting stats are already through the roof

I mean his vision is only 45, but he’s hitting .323 and has an OBP of .413, id like to think that could be enough to boost his vision high enough to go diamond.

After a few attempts, I’ve reached the second to last boss, Chris Sale. His funky wind up on HOF scares me a bit. Is it worth skipping him? I’ve gone with the approach of taking until I get two strikes on me, and it’s worked well with the first four (hunter, luzardo, Scherzer, and Hoffman). Has this strategy worked against sale for anyone else? Or is 13 runs in 30 outs against Pearson manageable if I skip sale. Thanks in advance!

Update: I beat sale on my last out. Did decent against Pearson. I got it 20-20 with 5 outs left and the winning run at second. I didn’t score him and I am dead inside now

Sorry man, it’s a brutal feeling to fall short like that and know you have to start it all over....I failed first time against him but best with with 12 plus outs left second time.

For sure, it definitely hurts, but at least I was right there. I think if I had another lefty bat or two I could have done it. But congrats on getting it, hopefully my second run at Pearson is as successful as yours!

Got to 20-20 in the final showdown, had the winning run at second with 5 outs left, had a fly out to the track, 2 routine fly outs and 2 K’s. I’m still dead inside.

Live Series Christian Yelich was in my lineup all season until like early September, and then two weeks after he left the squad (mostly because of the downgrade) the 99 was released, and I was quite thrilled

@jz2016cubs said in Lot of stubs, unsure what to do with them.:

Give them to me.
Do you have Mantle or 99 Trout?

I have trout already, and I would have enough for Mantle, but i don’t think I’d have much to spare if I go that way

So my girlfriend plays animal crossing and on there they can put their currency into a savings account and I thought that’d be a interesting addition to MLB 21. Stubs burn a hole in my pocket, and I’m sure I’m not alone there, so I think having them in a different place would just make it easier to tell myself ‘no, I can only spend X amount’. Obviously you could still take them out whenever you want, but having an extra step could help. Just my two cents. I’d love to hear other people’s opinions

You can kinda do that now, you could theoretically put in a 200k or 300k buy order for Billy Wagner, that will obviously never fill, but it hides the stubs.

That’s a smart idea, I didn’t think of that. Might have to do that

Honestly I hate this. I’ve had this happen all year, even if the computer hits the cut and doesn’t throw it home and you get into second, it’s a single and a fielders choice. So annoying.

Congrats man, I can’t even imagine the roller coaster of emotions in that last game
