u could with that attitude.

I mean, it sounds like you have a worse attitude right now...

Have you ever been frustrated at a company when you bought something and then you noticed they did something wrong with your order/item you bought/service and then they say "Im sorry there is nothing we can do for you"...? Would you have liked it if at that moment that happened to you I said to you, " Sounds like you have a bad attitude right now"... ???

Yes, but this isn't the case in this situation. No one ever said it goes in any order if the top price is a tie. Or at least I have never heard SDS say that. Perhaps it is random when the top bid is a tie?

The rules are pretty clear in the Terms Of Service, subsection 14(a): “In the event that two players enter an identical bid on the Marketplace, the winning bid shall be given to the player who has tagged the least amount of SDS staffers in the community forums.”

“Everybody knows if you want to make a guy uncomfortable, you pound him inside.”

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?

I do contractual work for a number of metal bands and labels (not so much hard rock, but more thrash, prog, death and black metal).

Joe Random. Just... Joe Random.

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.

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...

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

If that doesn’t work, buy packs.

It doesn’t always make sense, though. On dropped third strikes, my 45-speed catcher in full gear will routinely corral the ball and then run down and tag out a 75-speed hitter moseying his way up the line. Sometimes I will even intentionally run around the batter to beat them to the first base bag.

‘96 Ellsbury has been my best hitter this year, and Blackmon keeps hitting his way back into the lineup.

I play Mookie at 2B and he tears the cover off the ball, and I rotate Cobb among my outfielders based on who I’m facing. If it’s a pitcher with insane H/9 and your PCI is a microdot, Cobb helps a lot (and when not, he’s a great bench bat / pinch runner / defensive replacement).

In the general settings that you can only access between games (it’s probably something like Mode Specific Settings) you can enable or disable quick counts when on base during Player Lock moments like this. I had the same problem at one point until I found and disabled that.

Or, if you're lucky enough to get in base WITHOUT a runner in front of you; you're trying to steal in a 3-2 count.

Do you have quick counts enabled when you’re on base in player locked moments? You should see every pitch when you’re on base, especially if you’re trying to steal. You can change that in the settings.

I also was down 15-11 going into this, and just tried to be patient. I took at least two pitches for the first dozen batters, and only looked dead center. Jensen will inevitably hang a couple offspeed pitches if you see 60+ pitches, so you have to be ready for them... if it’s not dead center, let it go until you have two strikes for the first 12 outs. And having a speed guy on the bench is always good in case you put the tying run on base. Whenever you have a runner on first, sit low in the zone, because the only thing you can not afford, ever, is a double play. Double plays are the Kryptonite of Showdowns.

Trea Turner, Ellsbury, Mondesi, Blackmon.

Ellsbury and Blackmon have weak(ish) OF arms but if you play guys with strong arms at SS or 2B, the cutoff often throws out any advancing runners. And their bats are sooo good.

My two best hitters under 100K are first and second in my lineup: 99 Trea Turner (hitting .410 in 200’PAs with an 1.100 OPS) and 96 Jacoby Ellsbury, hitting .400 with 24 HR and a 1.300 OPS in 250 PAs. Those two outhit Mantle. Ruth, and basically everyone I’ve used this year other than Mookie Betts.

@jz2016cubs said in IRL question for you...:

Yup! Played up until high school. (Where I am now)
The kids bullied me so much because I wasn't "cool" that I would come back crying because it was so bad. I ended up quitting, and haven't had to talk to them since due to remote learning!

I’ll just say this with the hindsight of being much older... I was never a popular or cool kid, I never really fit in, and back then that was all I wanted, to be “normal”. But by a vast majority, in the subsequent years the weird kids went on have the most interesting lives, and most of them wound up far away from home pursuing their dreams. The ‘cool’ kids back then mostly wound up with local factory or office jobs and only talk about how great things used to be.

If you can already figure out what you love to do in life, then throw yourself into it and you’ll do well. Twenty years from now, you’re going to be considered one of the cool kids from your class... trust me.

If Belle hadn’t been such a colossal Richard, he would have done a lot better. You don’t throw a couple baseballs in anger at a Sports Illustrated photographer (which happened in ‘96) and expect not to have the rest of the press corps hold a grudge when they cast their votes. When he hit a fan who had been heckling him about his drinking square in the chest with a ball in ‘91, that was more deserved, but still... you can’t do that either.
