Zunino mission... need two hits, one home run.

I had four at bats and was walked 3 times. Twice it was on four pitches.

Yah yah, swing... how am I supposed to hit a home run on pitches in the dirt?

I love the idea of Showdown, but I just get too stressed and angry while playing. I somehow won my first go at the AL East Showdown and have lost about 4 or 5 in a row now. I wish they had two levels of difficulty, with an easier version that gave about half the rewards.

I don’t play Showdown anymore. Too frustrating.

Not sure if this interests anyone but I'm a nerd so made up a spreadsheet with all the prestige requirements and their prestiged attributes. I like to track my progress, but it's also nice because you can sort the columns and see who requires the least of each stat to complete.

If you see any mistakes, please let me know. Also, this is the first time I've shared something on OneDrive, so let me know if there's any issues.

Serious question. I’m terrible online. I play offline a lot and do okay. But online... I’ll go event games with no hits. Half my wins are guys quitting or losing connection. I can’t catch up to a good fastball to save my life, and couldn’t recognize a slider vs a cutter until my PS4 tells me what pitch I just missed. Most of my hits feel like I simply “guessed right”. Sometimes just feels so frustrating to even bother with online play...

And, rant over... play ball!

@Dolenz said in Exchanges:

Have you not seen the uproar and 50 threads related to this so far?

No Sell cards are now unable to be exchanged. And yes, you will wind up with duplicate No Sell cards during Team Affinity

You’re being a little dramatic. I’m here to ask about the same thing. Did a search and this is the only relevant post I can find. Please, direct us to the other 50 posts.

My question is about an issue with having one piece of equipment locked and one not, yet the newly purchased piece of equipment doesn’t show up as exchangeable for my Daily Mission. It’s like having just a single locked piece makes the entire category locked, even with sellable pieces.

I have never spent money on the game before and have never pulled Trout before. This year I've bought the 150k stubs five times and have pulled Trout 4 times. I honestly wonder if SDS somehow knows who spends money and rewards them (probably not, but...)

Meanwhile, in my first attempt at one of these moments, I’m going into the 4th still tied 0-0 with the lowly Orioles.

Edit: walked it off in the 4th...

Yah, I think I just need to change my mentality. I have this dream of prestiging cards (oh, he’d be amazing when prestiged!), yet I only have Henke prestiged... no hitters are really all that close. Thanks for the post though... I just have to keep it all in perspective and enjoy myself. Otherwise what’s the point in playing, right?

Scenario to think about... you’re obviously better than me, and are winning like 6-0 after two innings. Would you rather I play out the game and lose big, or just quit and give you the W?

I ask because I’ve quit before (never mid-play... always between innings) because I think good players would rather have a quick W than drag out a boring lob-sided win. I’ve heard the term “rage quit”, but if I do it it’s because I think my opponent would prefer it. Would good players rather me keep playing and win 15-0, or get an easy win after a couple of innings instead?

In a 9 inning RS game? Holy smokes I strike out way more than that. Like, 5 times in a 3 inning event game.

I don't have a million stubs and am still waiting for my Chipper too.

Not sure what level you are in RS, but I hover around 500 (I’m not the best) and down there Johnson is amazing. He’s my favourite starter, and has my best ERA and K/9 of any starter on my team. Some guys do okay against him, but if you go up against a guy who can’t read his release or handle his 102 mph fastball he absolutely dominates. Don’t know why more people don’t use him. (I finished his KO requirement for prestige long ago and am only a few innings away from getting him prestiged... I don’t play a ton of RS).

Perfect-perfect with d’Arnaud (125 contact 125 power, remember) on a fastball straight down the middle, and it’s a fly ball to the warning track. This, after getting 12 balls on 14 pitches. What a freaking joke.

I can't recall specific examples, but I have definitely put things for sale way beyond their value and people have misclicked... you never know.

I hit really well with Pham, but after getting three in the first game I kept getting stuck at one or two hits in the second... I got good at dashboarding.

This requires a bit of luck and a lot of patience. Well over an hour was spent on this one... good luck!

@Boneman05 said in Best swing for a CAP at C:

I like have always liked Griffey's swing. Ellsbury has a nice quick swing.

I use Griffey’s for my CAP as well.

@lazy_toast said in Who is ur favorite player in the game so far?:

Babe. I just kill baseballs with him more than anyone

I don’t have him but he’s who I most dislike to see coming up to the plate... I think he kills my pitchers more than anyone else.

@mrcityofwin said in I just want that 98 Mondesi, already have a 99 Ramirez:

How tough does it look getting mondesi? Havent been able to sign on

It seems pretty easy. There are Missions, which are just stat missions that can easily be grinded offline during Conquest. And there are 8 moments, which are pretty straightforward except possibly for a 3 XBH in one game moment (I haven't started them yet). Mondesi is 90 pts, Ramirez is 100.

before I say anything, great username. I can assure you I didn't kill your father.

Do you have six fingers on your right hand?
