@MaxHarvest said in Ball speeds and different pitchers:

So I’m not sure exactly how this works, but I have noticed that certain pitchers the ball just explodes from their hand and appears much faster than other people with faster FB’s. For instance I just faced Blake snell and I could not catch up to his 93-96 mph fastball, it was like it got released and was past me, I could not time it up. Even when I knew when and where it was going I would be so late I missed it entirely or just barely fouled it off.

I don’t have trouble hitting fastballs, I hunt them so I couldn’t make sense of it. I thought the delivery, but time from release, to time to swing there was just less of a window than other pitchers, it wasn’t the delivery. He brought in lee smith and then Nolan Ryan in relief as he thought I could not catch up to fastball and was throwing 100-101 with both of them. I was getting perfect/perfect and ended up coming back to win the game.

How is 93-97 from snell faster than 100 from smith and Ryan? Anyone experience this

Is it just me though or does Snell release looks super glitched out. It takes me 3 innings just to figure out the arm angle.

Finally made World Series tonight and sold griffey and decided to buy a 50 pack. Pulled Cole in the BIAH then pulled arenado in a standard! Finally have enough to buy trout!!!

I don't know, one time out of 50 free standard packs and 6 biah packs I pulled flaherty, Baez, bellinger, and degrom. Needed all but flaherty and selling him got me trout.
So pretty much I got bellinger degrom and trout all in half an hour

Save for trout or grind for Cargo. I haven't had a legit centerfielder since grandy. I've stuck judge out there with moderate success. That cargo though. He's a glitch

Above average overall. One of the best all around outfielders in a weak pool

@JEEZY-E said in Post game rewards:

What is your best post game reward moment and what is your most soul crushing? (This isn't limited to '20 and I use soul crushing loosely, it's still a video game)

for me, my best moment was getting Trout last year after a loss, most soul crushing was this year, had Trout and Wagonman left on the board...Wagonman is a nice stadium...

I am 1/3 with 3 diamond appearances. All three were one of the last 2 on the board. My first one was Lindor and I got him. The next day was Aroldis and then a week later was Bregman

I want Bonds not happening, same with Clemens, and sosa, and McGwire, and cansecco, and Kent, and finally for sure not ever Josh Hamilton. My one realistic is my childhood favorite Prince Fielder.

@BattleBones86 said in That pitcher from LA:

yeah the new 93 rated pitching prospect. has filthy stats, but it doesnt translate for me.

i appreciate you giving me that intel - Gatorade looks great on paper, just like the TA Matt Olsen - who is a complete joke at the plate no pop nothing i hit better with bronzes and silvers than his supposed 89 card

Bro u dissing the goat. For me Matt Olson had 125 in all 5 categories. He is the goat

@TufoinProduction said in Questions about Team Affinity packs:

What's the best thing you have pulled from a Team Affinity pack? I here stories of people pulling diamonds, some of them being headliners diamonds. The best thing I've pulled from it is a silver.

Also why did Team Affinity packs include free agents? I think it defeats the purpose of putting TEAM in it. Just name it a Standard pack. I don't think they should include free agents.

Ive opened about 20-30 and have gotten a Scherzer and a Yelich.

@Iceman9214387 said in Worse with Prestige Card:

Is anyone hitting worse with the prestige version of a card? I'm struggling big time with prestige Posey. He has had some bad luck and small sample, but still

Original Posey - 379 AB, .309 avg, 15 HR, 55 RBI
Prestige Posey - 21 AB, .143 avg, 0 HR, 0 RBI

For me it's been chipper. I went from .550 to .330
