Seriously, there's no reason why I, who tops out at 600 in RS, should be put against people in WS. It's not fun and it's not competitive when I'm getting blown out every other game.

so someone that is not that good at the game should get the exact same rewards as the best players in the game? Why should the best players in the game constantly match up against the other best players in the game? Unless the better players with the harder competition get better rewards it should all be fair game. Plus, the more wins you accrue in a row your rating goes up.

I'm not asking for better rewards, but I shouldn't be blown out every game. If you make world series in RS, should you be playing someone ranked 700? I don't expect every game to be easy, but it should at least be competitive.

I know it'll come down to the 3 Lightning guys but I don’t remember who they were

Could be Orlando Cepeda or Willie McCovey

@Xx_Smalls_xX21 said in Anybody try out Alex Wood?:

I threw him in my rotations and I’d like to think his funky delivery would throw some people off but he doesn’t throw hard, has low stamina, and doesn’t throw a slider so I don’t have very high hopes. Anybody have success with him?

Havent tried him or giolotto, but want to. Once season resets I will at a lower division

I played against Giolito and absolutely shelled him. You might have a different experience but I found that he’s very easy to pick up

I took them all so I’m ready for the big collection this summer. Plus if I have more than I need then the price should skyrocket and I’ll make some quick stubs

Tried Posey but couldn’t get anything going against righties so I figured I’d just make my catcher my CAP since I haven’t had success with a catcher since Joe Mauer was in the game. Anyways, with pretty good equipment, is it better to go power or balanced?

Ive seen Josh Bell predicted as well, it would fit in with all the switch hitters being added

@MaxHarvest said in Does Oswalt just hang everything?:

I had to stop using him for this reason, once I got him prestiged he totally crapped the bed. He has like a 7era for me. Most of my other guys are under 3

My first games with him actually went really well and then the past few games I had to pull him after 4 because everything was going down the middle

Like seriously, I just played a game where he was hanging every other pitch down the middle

I have both and I really like them. Victorino has been a base hit machine for me and his defense has saved me more times than not. I’ve also gone deep with him a few times online so he has a little bit of pop too

@IIJACKINTHBOXII said in I think it’d be cool if we could customize the stance socks:

Either customize or just give us more options. There's hundreds of designs irl, but only a handful in the game.

I know right! I’ve been to a Stance store before and there’s tons of designs and since the socks are in the game I don’t see why SDS can’t include more designs

I know the Jackie and St Patrick’s socks already have a set design that I personally think look pretty good but the default stance socks just don’t look right and often don’t fit in with many uniforms. There’s so many different Stance socks designs and I think it would be really cool if there were options to customize them a bit more to add variety in different uniforms.

After their headliner pack expires, yes.

He also has 25 hitting stats across the board

That’s what I’ve been doing too... might as well get something out of playing

@HOTSAUCEman1300 said in Having trouble choosing:

Olson and DIdi could be switched on a given day it's just who you like best. I would say Buxton and keep Mondesi on there because you can flip Victorino and Chipper for stubs to use down the road because those cards will be worth nothing within the next two months. Try and put time into showdowns for the future stars cards because those programs will only get more worth it. Your team may be bad right now, but the stubs will be useful later.

I wanna get the future stars but I can't really do Showdown. I'm also an Orioles fan so I definitely wan't Roberts and I've always done well with a Chipper card. I'm not nearly as concerned with ratings as I am with how I do with them.

I have a few positions that I can’t decide who to pick over the other and I could use some help. Some background information: I have been enjoying using switch hitters and I plan to collect all 3 3rd inning bosses.

1B: Giambi or Olson?
2B: Alomar or Roberts? I really like Alomar’s swing but I also like Roberts’s speed.
CF: Buxton or Victorino?

My other positions look like this:
C Posey
SS: Hanley
3B: Mondesi, soon to be Chipper
LF: Eddie Mathews
RF: Gallo

My bench:
Gleyber
Judge
Didi
Tim Anderson
Olson/Giambi

Posey isn't bad but he isn't great either. I've found he makes a lot of soft contact against righties that end up falling for a base hit. His defense is also really good but he's kinda slow. I am glad that I went with him though.
