I'm nearly fifty, and have a 9-16 record as a solo player by myself in Diamond Dynasty online this year. Unfortunately, this is the best record I have had up to this point in the seven or so years I have played this mode. I am a much better co-op player with one or two partners and I am getting much better with every single game I play in that mode. Lastly, I am a better pitcher and fielder than I am a batter.

Willie Mays needs an MLB Storyline along with Ichiro Susuki next year. To me, in my opinion, that would be a fitting tribute for the "Say Hey, Kid."

Anybody who is having difficulty with "The Alex Wood Extreme Moment," just think of Wood as being somewhat like Chris Sale, albeit with more command; but less stuff. I was lucky to get it done the first time because I was able to recall that Alex had to throw from angles, just like Chris, in order to be effective and strikeout many batters with occasional pitches inside to throw them off and distract them. It also helped that many of my human opponents in the mid-2010's used Wood in their rotations, so I had a pretty good idea of how he had to pitch in order to be successful.

Rickey was a good, solid player in the two separate stints that he had with my San Diego Padres. I still love the quote that the late Tony Gwynn credited to the just past Rickey Henderson on a Spring Training bus in 1996 when a Padres employee asked if he (Rickey) had tenure, '"No, I don't have tenure, I have eighteen-year.'" The man was one of my favorite players and a great consummate teammate. May he rest in peace!

I play at Red Rocks, which is a pitcher-friendly ballpark that doesn't give up cheap home runs at all, especially to center field. This is my minor league park that plays to my strength as a player, which is pitching.

For me this year, Rube Foster, a Negro League and MLB Hall-of-Famer is my best pitcher. In previous years, Bob Gibson and Fernando Valenzuela have been my best pitchers. On the other hand, the best I have ever done online by winning was to get to the Wild Card Level. I have only gotten to World Series by playing games and completing the stat goals to get there, but haven't done that this season.

I bunt, if the all the infielders are farther back, and my batter has speed and can bunt, like for example, Cedric Mullins. Unlike Gaylord Perry's spitball; it's not cheating.

No, I don't think that Scambi and Singleton were drunk when reading their dialogue for this game. I just think there is almost no variety in their announcing than there was two years ago, but I'm not annoyed enough to mute my TV, or shut them off. They are ok, that's all! Speaking of possibly being drunk, one of my favorite Caray quotes was, '"All the beautiful girls go to the Cubs games,'" which just after he said that, all the cameramen on WGN's broadcast of the Cubs started panning to search for those girls. This was a television broadcast in the mid 90's. I don't think any current baseball broadcaster could get away with some of the antics that Harry could during his career, but he was a legend already by then, and still called a great game. He is most definitely missed and the reason I watched Cubs games between the late-80's to mid-90's.

With all the glitches and freezes in MLB 24 The Show, (I have had three of them in as many days), I am more of afraid of that than Genisys or Skynet taking over the world.

They changed the tabs on the pages, so instead of all the jerseys being on one page; they might be on multiple pages. Check to see if your remaining jerseys are on Page Two? I had the same problem this morning and realized that The Show had updated and reformatted this part, and answered my own question that I had in my head. Hopefully, this solves your issue.

Yes, sometimes I will have played the same opponent twice in Ranked, and if I have beaten him or her both times, I will have to face them in Battle Royale, a totally different mode. But, usually I face different opponents with either some of the same players, or a similar skill set as me. On occasion, I will face opponents that will be a top-ranked opponent in ranked, and get routed by them. As a result as far as ranked, it's been fair to me. This year is my best year in ranked; but I am still a little under .500, and I stiil get my [censored] whupped by top teams every now and then. For me, I have had to fail (sometimes tremendously) in the past to get a whole lot better in the present.

@WanderFrank5394_XBL He's already the "Lightning Card" for Season Award 3, so I know it won't be him.

@PAinPA_PSN The A's signed Severino to please their Las Vegas suitors, plain and simple. They (Vegas) wanted to know that the current Oakland A's owner wasn't a complete and total cheapskate that didn't want to field a competitive team, and the owner wants the city not to abandon their stadium project. Call me a cynic, but this is just a fact.

No, that's on SDS! Please stop blaming players for the game developers' mistakes. This game needs a new engine in the worst way. Madden and the NHL have new engines this year, and the NBA's isn't that old. The Show wasn't even Beta-Tested for bugs this year, and it's engine is over a decade old. As for freeze-offs, I usually get this issue one out of every four times I play this game in co-op. It's frustrating, I know!

Mark McGwire was a starting pitcher alongside Randy Johnson at USC in the early 1980's, Jake Cronenworth was a relief pitcher with the Tampa Rays both in their minor league system and in the majors, Kenley Jansen was a catcher with the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic in 2013, I believe, and the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, before switching to relief pitching just about a year later, and Masyn Winn was a starting pitcher in high school and his first year in the minors for the St. Louis Cardinals before devoting all his time to playing shortstop, his other natural position, as he was drafted as a two-way player several years back. There are perhaps eight players that are legit in "The OOP Program," in their secondary positions; the rest are reaches or all-out misses. This was a decent program that I don't want to see again.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL McCann and Staumont would been the cards I would have replaced. I would have replaced McCann with Eric Hosmer, and Staumont with Yordano Ventura; if the show has or had the rights to those two players. In order for sets and seasons to work in the future there has to be a lot more players than there are now. The recycling is getting to be a bit too much.
