@bob_loblaw1984 said in Willson Contreras:

I love the guy and am a big Cubs fan. When the fire sale started last year I identified him as the one piece I’d like to keep for the next run. However, with the signing of Gomes and the apparent lack of interest in an extension, he is very likely to be traded.

He seems far and away the best catcher in baseball and the statistics support that so far this year. I am curious to hear any thoughts on the possibility of acquiring him from fans of potential playoff teams.

The Yankees and Astros seem like good matches as trade partners. They both appear to have a large need at C and have a long history of trades with the Cubs. I’m hoping for a few solid pitching prospect and those clubs have plenty. (Wesneski or Waldichuk from the Yankees pique my interest.)

What statistics support that claim. Baseball prospectus doesn’t even have him in the top 10 currently. The Atlanta Braves alone have two catchers that are offensively as good or better than him and both are better defensively than him. Here’s the funny thing one of those catchers ironically is his brother. So please tell what stats your talking about. And if you use WAR as your argument you’ve already lost the argument. WAR does not capture the catcher position any where close to other metrics. Metrics like pitch framing and blocking. Both of which he is terrible at. And oh btw Travis D’Arnaud as of a couple days ago had thrown out the most runners and the highest percent of caught stealing in the MLB.

Aggressive much? You clearly have no idea what your talking about, as you lost all credibility when you said Contreras is terrible at framing and blocking. News flash, this isn’t 2017 anymore. And it’s absolutely laughable that you think Willy’s brother is as good as or better than him currently.

@solid-snake2493_xbl said in I was convinced Chase packs didn't exist until today:

I’ve had 3 chase packs. Thanks to them, I added three more golds to my inventory.

Update, got my fourth pack today. Finally pulled a Diamond too, and 90+ at that. Freaking Marcus Stroman.

@chuckclc5755_xbl said in Xbox series x plays choppy:

I also can speak for the power a. Plus it has 2 pedals on the back you can program. I use l3 and r3 for them. I can actually pitch better on Xbox now than I could on PlayStation.

I’ve been meaning to look into that. How do you program those buttons? Do I need to plug it into a PC and use software?

Buy a wired power a controller.

Just so incredibly frustrating. Undefeated in this run and now I get to sit here in a tied game because SDS still hasn’t addressed freeze offs in over 6 years. Great job.

How fun. As if this game wasn’t bad enough already

I honestly don't think it's anything on their end. I think it has to do with the connection between you and your opponent.

Other than the issues they had last year with the user controlled freeze offs; regular freeze offs are to random to be anything with the coding.

Can’t say it doesn’t have anything to do with their end. After all, what other game does this happen in? I for one have never had a freeze off in Halo, Call of Duty, or any other game for that matter

You obviously never played MW or MW2. Plenty of server freezes there.

Saying I obviously haven’t played two games that came out 15 and 13 years ago is a little extreme, don’t you think? I actually played those games non stop back in the day. Maybe my memory is hazy, but I don’t remember any freeze offs. I remember getting booted from some games due to disconnects, but not freeze offs.

My last freeze off lasted over 24 hours, and the other guy owned the game on two consoles so he was able to keep playing while I did nothing. That was a blast.

Did Mini Seasons get an update that slipped by me? I haven’t played since the initial Longo reward.

@savefarris_psn said in Terrible new idea.:

Someday they’re going to add Tatis’s dad.

And the day they do, we get a “Hit 2 Grannies in a single inning” moment.

Nah, they’ll say to hit the second one.

Just got some notifications on the app of some sale orders going through, but I’m unable to use the app. It just says fetching data.

I believe purple is 85-89, blue is 90-94, and red is 95+. I could be wrong about the later two, but I know 84-89s are purple and Trout is red.

There’s not really any suggestions anyone can offer you. You either have to keep waiting or close out the game like everyone else. It’s a shame everybody just overlooks this every year. It’s a joke at this point, year after year. I’m four hours into a freeze off myself right now and I won’t quit on principal.

You sound like me. And I have a PS5 and Series X. Thing is I havent started playing H2H yet really this year. So havent been able to take advantage of having 2 systems in case of a freeze. Of course I very rarely get into a freeze anyways.

I also have a PS5 and a Series X, but I haven’t picked up a copy on PS5 yet. I’ll probably wait for a sale personally. It would be great to have two copies of the game for situations like this, at least until the second freeze off starts

@virusts_xbl said in Next Friday Topps Now : Throw No Hitter and Lose:

He’s not getting another Topps Now. He has one already.

Nobody said anything about him getting a card. The post is about a moment.

I’d guarantee it’s because they had all of this content ready to go months ago and just didn’t bother to make any updates or changes after we discovered these issues. I really don’t understand how something like that slipped through the cracks and still hasn’t been fixed. Field of Dreams was one of my go to parks last year.

Just need Ohtani and Trout. Part of me wants to save up for Trout right now since I’d use him immediately. On the other hand, it may be more realistic to get enough stubs for Ohtani before a stub sale, when both of their prices will shoot up.

@ncstatehokie_psn said in When did you start playing DD and how many Trouts have you pulled?:

Was year 3 or 4 before I pulled him. Played for 6 or 7 and only pulled him 3 times total I believe. I also don't buy packs with money. I think SDS likely awards those people a little more.

I should mention that I don’t buy packs period. In my early years I would, and I do admit to buying a 50 pack bundle week one this year because I wanted to try a chase pack (opened three so far, nothing but golds).

I love opening free packs, but buying them is a never ending pit of pain.

I played MLB the Show casually (offline) from the PS2 days through MLB the Show 14. I started playing DD with the release of 15. Since then, I’ve pulled Trout one time (I believe it was in 17 or 18). I’m curious to hear how everyone else has done fishing over the years.

@maniacmatt1782_mlbts said in How to get Trout?:

Grinding the event, selling your dupes. Cleaning out your binder for jerseys unlockables, icons etc that you'll never use. I did that 2 weeks ago and had 170k in stuff I'll never use.

I used that tactic to knock out the NL East after pulling Acuna. Very effective.
