Video game content should take a back seat to world events at times... I completely disagree. While they are on a small scale, video games are here as an escape from reality. Shutting down methods of relaxation for people, when irl everything is this stressful, just contributes to the sense of stress.

I would argue that people have been escaping this particular reality for far too long.
@Collin_SDS
SDS, please solve the issue with losing HR stats because of rage dash boarding.
It’s always been annoying and now it’s even more so with the new emphasis on online stats for completing programs.
I frown upon Gallo bunting.
I haven’t seen them, but I’m assuming there will be hitters and you will have to get them out.

Matt olson
So how do you feel about Matt Olson? Like him?
Darvish will get a Finest. No Cubs hitters deserve it.
Need a faster runner to tag from the track. 99 speed would probably do it.
I have some thoughts after reading through some of the things posted here.
-Protests have been highly effective, historically speaking. -Athletes make exactly what the free market says they should make. -Being successful does not diminish one's argument. -Criticizing individuals who advocate for change on an issue for not advocating on every issue simultaneously is ridiculous. -Getting the police to not use excessive force should not require civilians following them around on the job. -Anyone saying that protests are going to stop them from being fans is lying. Every sport, including NASCAR, if that even qualifies as a sport, is doing this. Enjoy the bowling on ESPN 8, I guess. -Why is it so hard for people to admit that their world view is not perfect and may, in the light of overwhelming evidence, need some amending? -The amount division in this country is very disheartening. The president has made it worse, but he is a symptom of the lack of properly funding public education that teaches civic values and critical thinking, as well as people living in separate realities because of media echo chambers.
Here is my challenge to everyone. Consider the concerns of the other side and try to understand them. Expose yourself to different media. Fact check. Do not judge until you know more about the issue. Accept that you may be wrong about some things and that it is okay to adjust your opinions.
Let the extreme whining commence.
I’m fine with disappointment. It means I can sell the cards I have ready to collect.

@mjfc_363 said in Rays and Yanks need to send Cardinals a fruit basket...: @KILLERPRESENCE4 said in Rays and Yanks need to send Cardinals a fruit basket...: @mjfc_363 said in Rays and Yanks need to send Cardinals a fruit basket...: Mark Lemke, Steve Avery, David Freese, Steve Pearce. Plent of guys win post season awards and don’t turn into franchise players. Those are just off the top of my head without the google machine. I’m not buying what you’re selling bro. Been watching baseball for 40 years. FYI Mark Lemke was a franchise second baseman for the Braves throughout the 90’s. Great glove and serviceable bat. And he did the small things like bunting and was a great base runner. Steve Avery was a great pitcher for 5 years with those same Braves before he sold his soul for free agency and left the organization and moved to Boston where they promptly used him the wrong way and destroyed his pitching shoulder by changing his delivery. But yeah!!! Mark Lemke was a career .246 hitter with 32 home runs.......in his CAREER!!! Steve Avery was 96-83 and only once had an ERA under 3. Only had double digit wins 4 times in his career. He broke 200 innings a total of 3 times and that’s in an era when pitchers threw more innings. I'll give you Lemke, you are right on him, but you are looking at all the wrong stats on Steve Avery. I'm not saying he was some goon, he wasn't, but quoting wins is laughable. You quote ERA under 3, but the real stat that you are missing is he had a better then average ERA from 1991 to 1994. He was decent, certainly not a career to sneeze at.

ERAs were inflated in the 90s/steroid era as well.
No. With 99 velocity on his FB and no outlier he will still hit 100 and occasionally 101.

Ian Happ and Victorino are worth considering too.

Upgrade 1B, 3B, LF with power hitters. Ruth is free. J-Ram is free. Griffey is coming out this week. Rotation: Get rid of everyone but Gibson. You'll pick up Seaver for free as you get Ruth. Kershaw and Maddux are worth the stubs. Bullpen: I like the lefties. I'd get rid of Kimbrel and then Rodney. Mo, Kenley, Goose are the best 3 righty relievers in the game. This REALLY helps, Bob (LOVE the handle lol.). My pitching worries me, and relievers were EVERYTHING for me in 19. Is Ruth a Moments reward? Ruth is from the All-Timers program. It's a bit of a grind, but also easy. Are those moments or a mixture? I'm still a bit of a noob to 20.

Pretty sure they are all moments. 3 inning games on All-Star and HoF. You can use your own DD team.
I love Jackie at 2nd. Still swapping around lightning J-Ram and 99 Chipper. Might be selling Chipper, but need a bigger sample size before deciding.
Props and respect to the winner. More difficult to win in a season like this, I think.
@BaseballWithBat5 said in Joe Morgan incoming!!!:
I used to love listening to Joe Morgan on Sunday Night Baseball. He had a pretty good career as a ball player, too.
Best second baseman in modern baseball history...
