@wdieterich1310 said in Ridiculous Number of Pickoffs:

I had a lead off single with the Edwards, the rays prospect with ridiculously high speed and I kept taking a one step lead and each time I would my opponent would pick off, twenty four times before he threw a pitch and then seven more in a 1-0 count to be exact. Eventually I advanced him on a soft grounder and he didn’t pickoff at second but is there a way to report stupidity like that?

Let me get this straight:
You initiate the first move by taking an extra step.
Your opponent reacts by throwing over for a pickoff attempt.
You continue to do so.
He continues to react.
You get annoyed, while you are the one initiating the whole sequence.
You actually wanna report him.

This is great stuff, thank you for this. Here's a tip for ya; don't take the extra step.

Why are you selling the best hitter in the game?

I've been selling cards to users who ask for it because it's late February and I want to give others the chance of using exotic cards like this before the year is over.

As a matter of fact, if OP still has the highest buy order on the market I will give you mine to prove my point. Let me know if your bid is still the highest and how high the bid is.

To be mindful of our happy and enthusiastic state of minds looking forward to the release of MLB The Show 20. Moments like these seem kind of rare on the forums, so let's all cherish the present. Who knows what the forum might look like 2 weeks from now.

In every way. The entry fees are super low and you make your stubs back after beating the 1st red challenge. You gain XP regardless and you eventually make stubs if you finish the showdown. It's a super easy path to the diamond FOTF players.

I honestly don't understand why people complain about this. Yes, it'll cost you some stubs to enter. Sorry you can't have everything for free all the time. Yes, you need to be able to hit some pitches on Veteran. I mean, it's Veteran. And yes, sometimes you will fail. You lose nothing but a few minutes of your time. Get it out of your system and try again.

It must be exhausting to have this constant crave for attention

Mine is still the highest at 810K!

Just sold him to you, enjoy!

Is it an apology to buck?

Who is buck and what did I do to him?

Stop this, anyone that’s been in Buck’s streams before knows that you used to go in and troll all the time JITG, last weekend you took it to a whole new low, even for you.

I have trolled buck before. But I promise it wasn’t me last weekend. What happened?

So now you’ve gone from who’s Buck to “I’ve trolled Buck before”

Check your messages, I gave some details there.

Are you a teenage girl?

I'm with OP as well. I wouldn't make a post about it, but his opponent was definitely cheesing and knew very well what he was doing.

Here's the only tip you need; search the web and youtube on how to 'flip' cards and work the market. If you have the time and the patience, you can have all the players in the game throughout the year without ever spending a dime.

Either that, or get really good at BR and make your fortune there. But assuming by your own statement that you're relatively new, I'd say go with the market.

Whoever advises to buy a 50 bundle in a "Work the Market" thread immediately loses all credibility

@Xx_Smalls_xX21 said in This may sound stupid:

Unfortunately, no. If they don't have that position as a secondary, which in this case Rollins doesn't have a secondary, their fielding gets set abysmally low and they'll botch almost everything. If you're set on Larkin, then take him and sell Rollins. Otherwise, I'd recommend taking Sandburg or Posey.

I don't think that's accurate. Even though second base is not his secondary position, the game gives a lesser penalty because both SS and 2B are considered middle infield. So yes, there will not be a 5% penalty as you would normally see with secondary positions, but it won't be abysmal either.

You can actually check this yourself easily by going over to your line up screen, remove Rollie from your team and then while selecting a second baseman scroll over to out of position and highlight Rollie. His adjusted attributes including the penalty should be highlighted in orange/red.

@mccombs727 said in 95 Henderson, 98 Newhouser or 96 Rollie?:

Newhouser's two seamer inside to righties is deadly.

Nah, 2 seamers get crushed. Rollie is the way to go.

This seems like a question you can answer yourself. You too lazy to do the math? Perhaps put out a job for a secretary on Indeed.

Hard to control as always, but good stuff and attributes

All the toxic comments aside, there is a reason this rule is implemented in the game. It's to prevent salty kids who are losing to unnecessarily stretch games by plunking batters, pitch around batters or IBB every batter. Unfortunately this rule is a must.

@Crimson_Monk said in Cutters:

Cutters are dumb, hard to hit vs cpu too. The move like a slider almost

That depends on the pitcher. Each pitch from each pitcher has it's own velocity and break attributes. Some cutters move more horizontally than others, and other cutters come in faster without breaking too much.

They skip games and you don't play the full 9 innings. That being said, it's still time consuming

They're similar but I'd take Cole out of the two

Absolutely not

@allmustfall16 said in WTF, this perfect-perfect system SUCKS.:

I hit a perfect/perfect last game that was a lazy fly ball. Lol.

Well if your batter was Dee Gordon, that makes perfect sense. No pun intended.
