I just leave the shift on because I am not that good at shifting defensive positioning manually.

Honus Wagner because he is better overall player than Fernando Tatis, Jr., except the latter can hit for power; Honus can't.

I am rooting for the Padres, and I am from San Diego born and raised. But, I believe that Toronto will win the World Series this year.

The Polo Grounds if you have the requisite number of triples, and if not, Colorado, Kansas City, and/or Tampa Bay.

This was almost a total fail! I only succeeded because the ball hit the top of the catcher's glove, sailed a little bit over the top of his head, and I attempted to slide, but failed. The attempted effort was considered to be a success according to the moment, and I got the points. Juan Soto's jump was so slow that I got thrown out running at least eight times before winning the moment on my ninth.

@Dolenz_PSN I was twenty-three years old when Vlad Sr. made his major league debut for the Expos. To me, in my opinion, he had the best arm in the history of MLB at that time. The only arm that has been better since has been Ichiro, and that is just because his arm was more accurate than Vlad Sr.'s.

@MarioMendoza935_XBL I lost my grandmother in June at the age of ninety-seven, and even though she lived to a great, ripe, old age, losing your relatives never gets easier. My condolences for your future loss, and may God grant you his peace.

I am at a minus rating, and have not played a single game this weekend.

Update: I am down to six players in the Live Series that I have to buy or earn: Jose Ramirez (Cleveland Guardians), Bobby Witt, Jr. (Kansas City Royals), Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), Ketel Marte (Arizona Diamondbacks), Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers), and Fernando Tatis, Jr. (San Diego Padres). I believe I'll get Fernando done next since his price is at or around 30,000 stubs according to my PS5 at the time of this post.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN If it happens, it will be after the Trade Deadline.

I agree with most of the people on this post that there are too many foul balls in this game. It's one thing if a player with good to great clutch and/or discipline fouls off many balls, it's an asset, and part of his game. When countless scrub players with bad clutch and discipline at the plate are able to foul off baseballs successfully, it cheapens the game and becomes a false baseball simulation.

Ironically, I was better with the "Gold All-Star" St. Louis Cardinal Beltran than the "Signature Series" New York Met Beltran.

@TheBigPapa55_PSN It depends if that company has "Exclusive International Rights" to Ichiro or not. If they do, we're screwed, and he'll have to follow that agreement. But, if not, he can negotiate for his U.S. rights and appear in this game. Don't give up hope yet!

@relaxed_current4_PSN With all due respect, the AUSL has only four teams in its league. I would rather SDS give me the Women's Professional Baseball League between 1942 to 1953 before choosing softball. No offense!

It depends on the pitcher, their stamina, their pitching performance, the score, and what inning it is, whether I pull him or not? I usually pull most pitchers who are struggling or tiring before the bar turns red.

I play on classic, with the PCI, Strike Zone 2, and on simulation. I don't needed anybody that is not SDS becoming a dictator and telling everybody else that they have play his way. That's what great about this game and America: WE HAVE A CHOICE!

@Finn_Scotus_MLBTS Yes, Griffey, Jr. is in the game as a Seattle Mariner and Cincinnati Red.

@SDS_JoeK_PSN Joe, I am glad that you got J-Ram (Jose Ramirez) to finish off your Live Series Collection over the weekend. As for me, I still have four Dodgers (Ohtani, Freeman, Smith, and Betts), one Angel (Mike Trout), one Tiger (Tarik Skubal), one Royal (Bobby Witt, Jr.), one Padre (Fernando Tatis, Jr.), one Phillie (Zach Wheeler), one Yankee (Aaron Judge), one Met (Francisco Lindor), and the aforementioned Ramirez to go before I'm done. The next goal is to get Trout from my favorite team, the Los Angeles Angels, so I can get Angels Legend Don Baylor, and finish off the A.L. West Collection. To answer your question about Beltran, "Yes, I plan to finish Live Series and get Beltran, but it looks like I might be completed with it by mid-August, which will be tied with the latest I ever got this series done, which was the early 2010's."

@GreenEydBndt_XBL I would look at the profile page of most online players in this game and it shows how many more months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds that they play Diamond Dynasty over every other mode in this game. Of course, they're (SDS) going to put their research, development, and money in a mode that most people watch and/or play, and makes them more money. In addition, some people put real money to get the best baseball legends' cards (Sometimes tens of thousands of dollars) and both SDS and Sony make a profit off that as well. By the way, I like Road to the Show and wish it would be more interactive like Madden, the NBA, and the NHL are, and like it was in the past, but of course it would require more people to play it, and the games' bugs in all modes to be fixed. Finally, thanks for your comments. That was a great post!
