Mantle is awesome.

You don’t NEED any card, but you will not regret getting him.

Only time I use it is sometimes for moments when you have to hit XBH/HR with weaker hitters.

That was the most exciting and stressful run of games ever. I drafted this team last night and just played 1 game. Tonight after a few event games, I went back at it hoping to get up to 3 or 4 wins to end the night. I was in such a groove I didn’t want to stop and risk being off my game tomorrow. Got the best of a few goons in the earlier games and then was really shocked and fortunate to play some weaker competition at the end of the run. Last few matchups took a long time to get and they were actually with Bronze and Silver level players. Final game I won 7-0 so it was no sweat at all, but I was locked in on every [censored] pitch and throwing my fist in the air with every out that got me closer to the prize. Here’s the winning squad:

1- HRD Anderson(LF)
2- LS Bogaerts(SS)
3- SS Helton(1B)- guy raked for me .632, 6 HR, 3 2B, 17 RBI, 2.387 OPS!
4. LS Sanchez(C)- downgraded to Silver. I’d say he’s the reason I went flawless. Clutch all day. .733 avg., 8 HR, 1 2B, 17 RBI, a walkoff HR, took a game tying walk on a 3-2 FB just a bit inside with 2 outs in game 11.
5. LS Olson(RF)
6. LS Riley(3B)
7. LS Escobar(2B)
8. LS Kiermaier(CF)

Everyone chipped in on offense. I was def locked in. Outscored my opponents 71-19!

Pitching all LS Cards:
SP- Clevinger, Hernandez(MIA), Lucchesi
RP-Venters, Scott, Strop, Winkler, Jones, Pagan, Workman

It can be done fellas. I’d like to think I’m a decent player, but not great. I’ve made Championship series on my main acct 2x, but never got to WS(854 my best). I’ve never been further than 7 flawless wins before and maxed out at 10 wins as my best previous BR run. Maybe the goons are playing RS or Madden. Give it a shot guys!

Forgot to mention. I got Arenado as my 12 win and took Wagner as my Flawless. Going to try him out, but I def think I’ll be listing him for a 1 MILLION DOLLARS(DR. Evil voice) soon.

That’s the first time I’ve matched up with someone from the forums. Some clutch hitting late. Good clean battle though.

PS- FOOK Wagner lol

@KILLERPRESENCE4 said in If you bought a lot of packs...look for these cards in your collection.:

It’s a stub transfer that’s all. Take advantage of it while it last as it won’t be like that tomorrow.

Actually it happens when a new card is introduced in the roster update and there is a low supply. Someone trying to finish a collection will need some common player they’ve never heard of and you can sell it for upwards of 2500 stubs if you’re lucky to pull one. I’ve done it a few times.

@eatyum said in 1149-10 record:

It's a glitch, if someone has more then 1000 wins, it doesn't have room to show all the losses, I'd guess he's like 1149 and 1000.

Geez I thought I played too much.

I mean if stubs aren’t an issue pick up Donaldson and give him a shot. Looks like a beast, but haven’t used or faced him yet since not a lot of them going around.

I think what you’re thinking is correct. You can add 3-4 players to your roster immediately by doing the AL first. Biggio is very versatile, Trout is Trout, Wagner is very good and Doolittle is decent depending on your bullpen.

@stewart1465 said in No pitches thrown/Friendly quit request:

I always accept prior to first pitch, not sure about what most people do, I’ve only sent a friendly a couple times and that was due to game lag and with no score yet.

I always accept as well, I mean, there are things out of your control requiring immediate attention sometimes, for example, your wife need you to help with the kid, everyday stuff

If that were the case though, then when you deny the FQ the person would have to quit. 99.999999% of the time they stay and play. I think it’s lame. Less than 30 secs ago you wanted to play and now all the sudden you don’t. They are def cherry picking.

I’d say it’s definitely possible.

Been playing some BR tonight and just decided to try and play a RS game. First person I connect with I see a lineup screen of 8/9 players prestiged(Trout, Mantle, all the goons). His record comes up and he’s 1149-10. Lol how is that even possible and why would he be ranked between mid 600’s- mid 800’s?

You think it was an error of some sort? I’ve almost never asked for a friendly, but when the guy has a win percentage of .991 I do. He accepted.

@lazy_toast said in Is this "cheesy?":

I’m just going to name mine “The Calzone”

Make sure you pick one up for Steinbrenner.

@LankyRyan said in Do you platoon any players in RS?:

I don't platoon because it eats up the bench before first pitch and there's nothing to stop your opponent from throwing opposite handed out of the pen after you've brought in players with favorable splits. I try to stay away from cards with high split differentials.

That being said, I know some platoon with success.

I feel like with the starting pitcher stamina stuff people would be less likely to do that, especially if it’s just 1-2 hitters.

I’m curious if you guys use regular platoons vs LHP/RHP. Since they don’t have the option for us to set two different lineups(which I think is ridiculous).

Now that some of these cards came out with maxed out stats vs one side(JRam, Mondesi, Darnaud), I’m curious if you guys are platooning certain positions. I don’t really want to lose any bench players at the start of a game, but I was thinking of trying it at 3B to start and playing JRam vs LHP and maybe try the new 99 Correa vs RHP since his splits are better. Thoughts?

Also where are you at in the event? Always worth it to grind those quick 3 inning games to save yourself a 500k investment.

So then maybe you tryout Honus up the middle?

Do you have a certain need to fill?

I personally took Foxx and made him my catcher and he’s not going anywhere.

I bought Wagner and sold him after a slow start and without a real need Have Tatis(SS) and my CAP(2B) up the middle right now. I have Cobb and Mondesi off the bench for speed. I even personally like Jackie’s swing better and they seem like similar cards to me.

Oh ok, just making sure POTM Tatis is there.
