You heard it here first that the OP is completely wrong as usual, and also previously posted how "white lives matter" and can't grasp the reasoning behind BLM....

What’s the point of this??? This is not a political forum and that’s a completely unnecessary post that has nothing to do with the topic of this discussion.

Last night I had an interesting encounter with one of those “give me____ and I quit”. This dude messaged me before the game started and I immediately declined. So he responds with a snarky “fine be like that”. Of course he was the home team playing at Coors and immediately started hitting bombs off All Star pitching difficulty. I really didn’t care as I was going to be hitting bombs too. However my ability to hit all of a sudden started becoming warning track heroes. I was like whatever it’s just events. If it was RS I would’ve been pissed with perfect perfect input flying out to the warning track at Coors. So the 3rd inning rolls around and I’m down 5-1. I pause to bring in a pinch hitter for my pitcher. I then unpause and realize that my opponent is now paused. 3 minutes into his pause timer and only having 30 seconds left on the timer he starts messaging me asking “you mad bruh”. He messaged me twice in that same period. I’m like you’re the one who is paused not me. His pause timer runs out and of course I hand him the loss. After the game I messaged him and pointed out that next time he might want to pay more attention to what’s going on Instead of acting like an [censored] messaging me. He got what he deserved. His response, “I don’t got no time for you”. How ironic!!!

@maskedgrappler said in TA Moments 1-3:

Picking away at them now. On that note, how useless is Cliff Lee? Can't get through an inning without giving up a bomb.

I haven’t had any problems with the pitching moments it’s the 3xbh moments that are such a pain.

So 14 Marlins have tested positive as of this morning. Their games are being canceled now and the Reds are concerned about a similar outbreak happening soon in their clubhouse. The Phillies are also on high alert having just played the Marlins. I get a sinking feeling that season is going to be canceled this week.

Easiest and cheapest way is to buy a single pack and pull him from it.

And I could buy a single powerball ticket and be a millionaire tomorrow too.

@Bob_Loblaw1984 said in Who should get the start?:

I'm currently at 856 and have never made WS before. I started playing DD last year and just haven't ever played enough RS games to make a serious push, but I'm going to have several hours tonight.

My two best starters have been Glavine and Kluber. Both of whom will be able to pitch the next 2 games after they get a game to rest. My question is who would you start for the upcoming game? Here are my options:

-Newhouser (He's been okay, but if my opponent has any plate discipline he gets shelled.)
-Hamels (I've done surprisingly well with him.)
-Felix (Just unlocked, not a single start yet.)
-Lodolo (I started 2 games below 700 with him and didn't do well, but I'm tempted to give him a shot on HoF).

Truthfully try an opener. Start your second best reliever. Most of them will be pitching from the stretch and you can utilize the slide step to quick pitch aggressive opponents. Give the opener two innings and pinch hit for him when he comes up to hit then bring in your starter. Hopefully, by that time you’ll have a lead and can feed off the momentum. You’ll still have your closer to shut the door late. Just an out of the box idea.

So I’m basically boosting the stats I need for prestige belli in the event and some people are assholes, like my team names says “ let me homer with belli and I’ll quit “ and people would just not care , I mean I understand others trick people into giving up homers but When they up at bat I I give them homers with cards they need prestige . I’m just saying as community we should help each other out

Uhhhh so let me get this straight, are you admitting to boosting???

Dude is using the term broadly....stop insinuating anything he's doing is actually boosting

He says he’s boosting in his post!!! How is this not boosting. I mean in other games asking your opponent to do things to benefit your stats is called boosting. Please tell me where the insinuation is!!! He blatantly said it.

Yeah, Reggie is sneaky fast plays better defense then his rating would suggest (gets really good jumps on balls) and knocks anything above his waist into orbit

My advice is to keep
It to 1-2 and not more than 3 RS games in a sitting. The 9 inning grind is mentally fatiguing especially the higher you get. After a game don’t hop into another one right away. Go accomplish a few challenges. Allow your mind to relax. Change up the monotony. Last but not least get a pair of blue light blocking gaming glasses. Blue light causes eye strain especially on gaming monitors and is harmful to your retina if you play long enough. You’ll notice an almost immediate difference in how your head feels once you start using those glasses. Other than that have fun and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. After all it is just a game

Welcome to RS. This is why I steer clear of RS. I mean I play what I absolutely have to but I don’t waste my time in it. Too much cheesing and not enough legit play.

Todd Helton boss card. Still the most consistent card I’ve used this year outside of the 99 Sandberg prestige card.

What’s really funny is Henderson was never actually a quote on quote speed demon. He stole bases because he was probably the smartest baserunner of all time. He mentioned late in his career that he was never the fastest in the league but what separated him from other base stealers was his ability To read the pitcher. He said he would spend hours reviewing video later in his career looking for tells that indicated the pitcher was going to the plate. Now I’m certainly not saying he wasn’t fast I’m just saying that speed wasn’t necessarily what made him a great base stealer it was his instincts and knowledge of the pitchers.

@jjsmith605 said in Karma for a booster:

The other day I had a guy message me and I decided to send the same exact message back to him, when he would respond, i'd respond with the same thing.. that went like 5 messages deep. he was confused. He was winning going into the bottom of the 3rd. (he said he'd quit if I gave him HR for a couple players). With 2 outs he messages me "Should've taken the easy win". Next pitch two run HR to tie. Then I proceed to win.... I said "should've waited until you got that last out"... he acted like he did it on purpose... either way I enjoy these moments

Lol, they get what they deserve

@SVTJOEY760 said in How to get a good crisp gameplay?:

I’m going to make a comeback to this game and I was wondering how to get the most frames out of this game? I was watching a guy name Healy6 on YouTube and his gameplay was as smooth as freshly shaved pair of balls. When i play ranked it seems to lag even in minor league stadiums. If it matters, I play on a Samsung tv I bought last year.

Consider getting a monitor. TV’s, generally speaking have issues with input lag and shadowing on higher difficulty levels when pitch speeds are dramatically increased.

@dirtybob007 said in Good Night to play Event...:

Online play is a joke. You cannot locate anything.

I don’t play online RS much anymore just because of the toxic nature of that mode but when I do play I’m not seeing the issues you guys are having. I hit to a nearly .330 average and pitch to a 2-3 era and usually get the opponent to quit by the 5th inning after I’ve put up like 5-7 runs. But I’m not getting much past 700 either.

Max Fried is gonna have an opportunity to become the clutch game ace now. Hope he takes the bull by the horn and steps up to the new challenge

Well Soroka just blew out his Achilles. Looks like the Braves are going to need to make a trade or mail in the season.

Last year the final program allowed you to collect bosses from previous programs that had high demand bosses.

Heard it was that moron Urena going to a strip club in Atlanta. If he doesn’t get severely punished by the club than the message will never get sent to the players about taking responsibility for their actions.
