Dyk vaccines companys face no liability? They operate with immunity.

I just wanted to point out that I loved the irony of this line. It’s like a joke you would read on the back of a cereal box.
“Q: Do you know why vaccination companies face no corporate liability?
A: It’s because they operate with immunity!” (B’dum-tiss!)

Locastro on the D-backs.

I still can’t get over the fact that they lost 21 of the 22 games you attended.

If I covered your expenses, would you go to every Yankees game from here on out?

That’s my new response to all the serial crybabies around here. Not the ones with well thought-out complaints or constructive criticism — there are legitimately things that need work with this game — but those elite few who complain like they get paid for it and who blame everything and everyone but themselves. Or who have those prolonged announcements about how they’re done, they’re deleting the game and never playing again... but who just want to get eleven more things off their chest before they go...

I think even if they keep these guys, they need to start from scratch and re-record everything. Some phrases have been in use for too many years. It’s really getting tiring.

Breaking news. Man brags about dominance in a single game, and then cries foul when he loses the series.

I'm sure in his mind he is trash talking like Mohammad Ali, but in reality he just looks like Gob Bluth doing the chicken dance.

How about we get a series then ? Let’s see how good you are. We can play for any wager u want

Dude, you lost a bet. Now honor it. Go away.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

If that doesn’t work, buy packs.

For people like me, this is the same as when Ted Williams passed... except younger. Absolute legend, influenced nearly every guitarist I know, and I know a ton of guitarists.

My woman hates this game so much. Like it’s a legit issue

Dude i get it. My wife is a [censored] trooper about this game. But at the same time she knows I don't go blow money at the bar or anything like that. It's a give and take that's why I think it would be comedy central to see our wives bash us over it and then high five.

Yeah, my wife rolls her eyes about how much I play this game, but it’s just like you said... she’s a trooper. I don’t comment on her online clothes shopping, she doesn’t comment on my playing nearly every night... life can be hard, so whatever gets you through your day, right? She will walk by the TV and make joking comments... “swing and a miss!” ... “oh, that was right in his wheelhouse!” It cracks me up.
Yeah, it would be pretty funny if there was a closed forum for all the MLB The Show widows.

Sometimes you just need to strike out the first few guys to build confidence quickly. I haven’t had any issues this year with first inning CPU runs. Anytime I get hit by the CPU it’s almost always user error: not getting a perfect release, going with breaking stuff when my command isn’t sharp enough, trying to get cute by backdooring a slider, etc.

@MathMan5072 said in Hitting question:

I usually start right where I think the pitch will be and then when the pitch goes there I jam it to the complete other side of the strike zone and make sure to swing late. I went about 7-20 in event games today. So, I hope that helps.

My worst feeling is overreacting to pitches right down the middle. Sometimes I can track a low outside breaking pitch perfectly, but give me a meatball and my PCI winds up in another time zone.

Honestly at this point we’re just asking each other which rims look best on the Lamborghini. No one player is really going to move the needle when everyone has 98/99 squads.

I could get on board with 1 thru 3, and don’t care about 6. But 4 and 5 are just insane.

My short, squat catcher is Chubby W (pronounced ‘Dubya’), last year I had longball specialist Homer Merchant.

I’m just annoyed that Matt Szczur’s last name isn’t available as audio, as I wanted to make a CAP called Julius Seizure.

I would like/try Prestige if you could build them offline. I’m a terrible online player, plus I routinely need to stop/pause as the household demands and that doesn’t work in live games. Make it so that the stats only count on games in HOF and Legend, fine, whatever... just don’t make the only option an online grind.

Wow! I just added again and you are correct. WITHOUT the collection; you can't get to 90 for Mondesi.

I assumed it was set up like last month's path; where you could get to 90 just by doing the Moments and Stat Missions.

Is this an oversight? @SDS_Jax @Pat_SDS @Victor_SDS

I really want Mondesi so I did all the Moments yesterday including the Ramirez 3 XBH one, was about to start the missions, and then did the math and realized it was useless. I don’t have nearly enough guys for the collection. I should have added it up before I started, of course, but it surprised me as well.

I think such a promo would only benefit the fan base in the US. Just like the Challenge of the Week stuff, I can't compete for those nice signed memorabilia just because I live in Europe. I guess shipping is too expensive. That kinda sucks.

Are those of us in Europe eligible for any COTW prizes? I didn’t even think we could win the digital prizes (i.e. stubs).

Yes we can win those digital prizes, I have received those stubs multiple times. But for the actual memorabilia you need to actually live in the US.

[censored], that’s good to know. I’m usually a decent COTW player (not great) but in some I crept into the top 100. I just never pushed for more after a few attempts because I assumed I was ineligible to win anything. Thanks for the info!
