Half your stats, huh? I'm sure you would have everybody prestiged if it wasn't for those darn dashboarding kids, eh inigo?

You cannot chalk it up to better pitchers, as I just recently prestiged Trout, Tatis, and J-Ram (as well as Stan).

I am universally worse with prestige cards. Does not matter who. Does not matter sample size.

I am worse with: Oswalt, Belli, Orel, Paxton, Musial, Trout, Reggie, Mo, Tatis, Thome, J-Ram, Posey, and two of the biggest examples, Sheffield and Mantle.

Mantle Normal:
.336 AVG, 72 HR, 1.180 OPS in 620 ABs
Mantle Prestige:
.283 AVG, 35 HR, .901 OPS in 456 ABs

Sheffield Normal:
.308 AVG, 62 HR, 1.037 OPS in 637 ABs
Sheffield Prestige:
.167 AVG, 3 HR, .608 OPS in 66 ABs

You could say I am "trying too hard," but with Mantle as a good example, someone who was my best card, now I have benched him; he has nearly 300 points lower OPS thru 450 ABs.

Anybody else worse with every single prestige card? Or most?

You're a smart cookie, and now I feel silly. Thank you.

I am trying to sell my Henke, but it keeps saying he is inuse or on a squad...he isn't on my team, and I deleted all teams but my main roster. Anybody experienced this before? He stills shows up as me having one to sell (have not collected him).

Bigger factor is how many pitches did you see?

Not exactly sure; high 80s/low 90s. But when I have 3 PPs and 3 good/squareds in 7 swing results, I certainly expect more than 2 runs.

No I mean how aggressive were you?

I was fairly aggressive in the beginning, I like to get the confidence down with a few early knocks. I got fairly more passive in the end, working full/5+ pitch counts.

To be fair, the problem was probably the 12 times your contact result was worse than good/good.

You had a .667 average and 2.000 slug on PPs. Can’t really ask for more than that. You got unlucky on Good/Squared, but that happens when your sample size is 3.

I mean I just posted the result; all but one of those were patented SDS good "okay;" one was legit okay. Same with good "good."

I also probably wouldn't complain if it was 0-15; it was 9-15 with some of the premiere cards in the game.

He was 80 speed.

I catalogued every swing. It's ridiculous. It's not skill. I entered 9-15 with all lefties/switch (Gallo, Wander, Devers, Ohtani, Santana, etc.) (except Trout) against Schmidt. Unless noted in parantheses, the swing was an out.

Early/ok, good/squared, very late/popped, early/chopped, early/chopped, late/ok, PP liner (2B), Good/squared (HR), PP Liner (2B), Good/squared, PP grounder, early/chopped, good/squared, good/ok, good/ok (1B), BB, good/okay, good/okay, BB, good/good (double play), PP liner (HR), early/ok, good/good (1B), good/weak (Fielder's choice), good/good

So now it's 15-15, men on 1st and 3rd, 3 outs to go. I hit a good/good ground ball right at the 3B. My man on 3rd doesn't run, so I hold L1. Probably should have just eaten the double play. But, I also think in a game winning situation, man on 3rd needs to run on a ground ball automatically. But anyway, I ground into the double play, but with the delayed baserunning my man on 3rd gets gunned at home (5-4-3-2-6 TP for those scoring at home).

So is it skill? I have this stuff happen a lot. 3 good/squared outs. 1 PP out. 1 good/good out, 1 good/good double play, 1 good/good triple play. That's me not having skill? That's 10 outs on good/good or better, in a 9-15 showdown.

Nobody cares, but I just needed to vent frustration. Been having tons of showdowns like this last few days.

Is there a way to get easier matchips? I am on the last page. I am bad at the game. But I keep getting matched up against goons. My event rating is 0. How can I get at least people under 1500?
