This card + mission can both burn.

Please, submit your god pham puns if you understand my pain.

@theu715 said in Majority of The Show's Hitting Approach:

No, the worst is actually when you get up 2 strikes. Dot your pitch on the black 3 times and get check swings that obviously fooled your opponent and they're all called balls. Then they foul off a couple until they draw a walk or get a blooper and then hit a HR with the next batter on a pitch away that they pull for a no doubt HR. Follow it up the next inning when you're hitting and get a perfect/perfect fly out to the warning track with Soto or Griffey.

Stop reading my game history!!!

@x814xMafia said in Would you rather have....:

Finest Bellinger

or

Finest Perez, Soto, AND DeGrom

????

Trick question.....the answer is to have all of them.

Only one good thing I’ve pulled recently and I can’t detail that on this forum.

Omg, best card ever...3-3 all XB. I wish I could buy extras of his card and play him at every position.

Apparently the strategy of complaining about a mission actually worked. Feel free to vent here as well and see if it doesn’t work for you too!!!

290 orders already....yikes

Feel bad for the 1 guy with his order of 999,999......does he realize he’s just going to keep being pushed back by $1? Or maybe it’s stub storage knowing it’ll never get filled. Hope it’s the later.

@OceanBubbles000 said in 98 Albies is the last card!:

Can anyone tell me how many pitching moments there is? I've been putting off the last pitching moments because I hate them.

3 total pitching missions

2 game save with Pressly
5 inn/5 k/no run with Morton
6 inn/no 2 hits Wilson v dodgers (this started rough for me, couldn’t get out of first inning without at least 1 hit 4/5 times....finished it finally with no hits + 16 Ks)

First game after work, just settling in before workout and doing a little grinding for acuna. I know it’s the Orioles on rookie, but TA 3 Rondon just K’d 26/27 batters! Struck out first 5, Santander grounded out, then struck out the next 21 in a row!!!

Didn’t even think about it until the perfect game prompt in the 8th before…had forgotten about the single contact shot and almost had a perfect perfect game.

Certainly my highest K total and highest K’s in a row….pretty sure next game I’ll give up three moonshots in the first!!

Anyone have any similar highlights??

Is there any chance future versions can separate the respective groups of hitters in RS. Similar to event guidelines, you would just select zone or directional at the start menu (or have it recognize your current settings) and then matchup with like opponents.

Experienced this match the other day where guy literally swing at 90% of the pitches, a few got left over the plate and nearly every one was a HR.

Made for a wildly irritating game.

My 3 and 5 yr old children are waiting for me to make dinner.

Wouldn't a freeze off be the perfect time to go to the kitchen? Instead of posting here just feed the kids. Maybe your opponent will quit while you do.

Lol. Imagine telling your kids that the main priority is getting a win in a video game instead of making sure they're fed.

smdh

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the reasoning….fine with the posts before then but the notion that the kids have to wait for food until the freeze off ended was hilarious. I mean I’ve told GF I’d do something after the game ended, so if he told the kids the same, and TECHNICALLY the game hasn’t ended, he can’t really look like a liar and feed them before……..

I imagine it will be more than just two more, I think you can get 10 from each set pretty easily without getting the expensive 12-0 rewards guys

I imagine he was just pulling a number out of the air to use as an example

I imagine I agree with this imaginative response.

@twisted-_-tea-_psn said in Juan sotos gotta be the lighting card right:

Top of the list on fangraphs when you filter July. Hitting 37 points higher than votto with only one less HR. Only 13% K rate to vottos almost 25%. .500 on base is pretty insane too. His card would be sick. Basically a schwarber 2.0 I’d imagine.

Since he’s the last nat standing at this point…..but can’t imagine them doing same team players back-to-back.

@duke0021520_xbl said in How is Soto in the OF?:

Don't want to be rude but he is an outfielder.

Yeah and I’m just worried he’s gonna make so many errors and cost me a lot of runs. Which sucks cause I’d love to use him but at the same time I want to win so I’ll probably stick with Alfonso

Soto is a good hitter when a righty pitcher is on the mound. If you care about Defense, then yeah, put him on the bench and use him to clutch.

That’s just such an expensive bench bat when I already have guys like Ortiz, Fielder, Walsh, and Devers that I already have and can’t sell. So it’s either start in LF or sell at this point.

If you want the all star collection, you have to keep Soto.

I’m just waiting to do that cause in a few months they’ll likely be giving out the packs through programs and conquest maps and I won’t have to spend 200k+ on both Vladdy and Peralta

Yeah but in a few months there will be hundreds of 99s, and that collection will be useless. I’ve learned that if there is a card you want to use, go get it now.

Last few posts you’re making the case yourself to sell. If you’re not chasing Ohtani immediately and are fine waiting, then sell now….price may go up but if packs drop unexpectedly in new content, he’ll only go down.

@mereel13_psn said in Almost perfect perfect:

I had a 27k game online and a perfect game online. Both were with FS Edward Cabrera. He gave up two hits in the 27k game, so it wasn't perfect, but still a cool thing to do.

Both impressive feats though! Couldn’t imagine being on the other side of 27 K game….be hard pressed to say id hang through 9 innings.

First game after work, just settling in before workout and doing a little grinding for acuna. I know it’s the Orioles on rookie, but TA 3 Rondon just K’d 26/27 batters! Struck out first 5, Santander grounded out, then struck out the next 21 in a row!!!

Wow, that’s pretty wild….I guess if that’s what you need on this event to win….

Just played a guy who had LS Chapman + Doolittle in his pen??? What the actual what??

I’ll echo Finley. For me he’s plying like last years Larry walker

@wdillingham24_mlbts said in Roster Update 7/9:

Who did yall invest in that went up to diamond or gold and how much did you make?

Any surprising losses?

Albies finally went for me….only one I went in on early. 67 total sellable…..this plus selling all my topps now from last night puts me near the 1mm mark!
