I mean I still get and enjoy the game, but it has literally been my least part about it since it was wrongfully implemented in MLB The Show 18. Yes, even more so than the bogus late round picks.

@pilbobuggins said in Sad to see they didn't fix the draft.:

Suck,you won't get drafted as high.

Yeah, especially because it was once possibly to get drafted in the first round and even first overall.

@Kanglor_ said in Getting Benched:

They took out the ability to request a trade about 2-3 years ago. I can't remember the last version that it was in.

It was when they introduced the agent garbage that requesting a trade disappeared. I believe they did that in 18

Yes, the "agent" first appeared in MLB The Show 18.

Does simulation count? If so, I had a first baseman that was with the White Sox, not only with them, though, they were up in the World Series 3-0 against the Phillies, I think in 2029, if I'm not mistaken, but the Phillies won 4 games in a row.

@SurfinSantaCruz said in Why is there no DH:

they must be national league guys.

DH is probably coming to the NL in 2022 so wait til then.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

I have never used PCI and I never will.

@StarsWillAlign said in This cheating scandal has really blown up.:

All you need to look at for how much this helped the Astros in 2017 is their playoff road/home splits. Altuve and Bergman.. their numbers at home compared to on the road are ridiculous. You can't look at that and say cheating hurt the hitters and didn't help them. Comparing sign stealing from 1979 to 2017 is just silly. Technology has far and away exceeded that time line. Fortunately for the Astros when the Red Sox investigation is complete there will be a new team to talk about.

Anyone who follows baseba knows how talented the Houston Astros line up is. To say they won the world series solely based on cheating is a stretch. But it helped. How much did it help? We will never know. Something tells me these players are not so remorseful about the situation because it is a league wide problem and they are not going to say how sorry they are when they really don't feel that way when everyone was doing it. Who knows.

My biggest problem with this entir situation is Rob Manfred calling the world series trophy a piece of metal.

Correa's and McCann's road/home splits in 2017 postseason were ridiculous as well, Correa, who is an even bigger liar than Altuve and Bregman are hit .211 on the road, but .371 at home and McCann hit just .037 on the road, but .300 at home. WTF

And I want the back of my jerseys to show the 'Chico's Bail Bonds' logo instead of numbers...but I doubt it will ever happen.

And I want to win the lottery...but I doubt it will ever happen.

@Ryan_2713 said in Jeter & Walker make the HOF:

I dont get the 99.7%
the 1 guy that voted no should lose all credibility. one of the biggest names in baseball for atleast a decade. so glad larry finally got in too

I could be wrong, but I still believe that it was a Boston or Miami voter that didn't vote for Jeter.

@SchnauzerFace said in Ejections:

Why would anyone argue with a cartoon umpire

Pray they never make a cartoon Angel Hernandez.

Or a cartoon Joe West.

That is great!

That would be nice, but more than anything, I want the forced position changes to be removed.

You've won plenty of games, but also lost plenty that you didn't give up too many runs.

That would be cool, but I expect it to be no earlier than MLB The Show 21, but a Jeter card might not even come then, but there's only one way to find out, isn't there?

@twoinchtape5 said in LIFELONG ORIOLE:

I’ve prob created at least 20 diff players in RTTS, various position players, and maybe one or two pitchers, and I’m drafted by the Orioles EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Even after turning them down and going back to scout day. I’ve been drafted by the Orioles...again.

Has anyone else had this issue? Or heard of it?

I've similar issues, but instead of every single player, I sometimes have had more than two players drafted by the same team, including last year's game, when I had three players drafted by the White Sox and it was the last three players that I made.

@eatyum said in i hope for Roy Halladay in 2020:

Scott Rolen is my hope, then I can put together the MV3

That would be nice

The Astros should be forced to change their name to the Asterisks.

That's so dumb!

@vagimon said in Extra Inning Games Are Not For Me:

Just lost a 16 inning game. It was tied 1-1 going into the eighth. I scored one then he scored one. In the 11th, I scored two then he scored two. In the 12th through the 16th, I went three up three down while he got a runner on 1st and 2nd everytime. How he didn’t score in those innings is beyond me. In the 16th, Frank Thomas hit his patented early rollover double off the 3rd base bag. And he won off a bloop hit that poor Mike Trout had to fight through molasses to get to and then had the slowest throwing animation I’ve ever seen. Plus, I had to pee super badly the entire time. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go change my pants.

That's so unfortunate.

Please just stop. You look like idiots, you're Bush League, and 9 times out of 10 you quit when you go down by 1 run. Go jag-off in a sock or DIAF. Thanks.

Someone lost to a bunt dancer

Maybe so, but anyways, it can't be appealing if it happens to you. However, I really haven't had to deal with it much.
