I'm the best at anticipating pitches and smoking them foul
I'm also the best at telling myself not to swing at change ups below the zone, then ignoring myself and swinging at those things

Does the pitcher shot gun a mountain dew and smash the can against his head before he strikes you out?

Just got my high diamond pack at prestige xp level 45. Wanted to pick the highest priced guy to sell. Thought Betts was at 147k...Hes 14.7k. I don't know why I'm the way I am

I faced a guy who kept sending me voice mails. Like wtf, I don't want to hear your creepy voice, out of breath, asking me to help you prestige Belli. Send a text message like a normal human. Also do it in the event, not ranked

I think the point is to have fun with them. The Bo card is maybe the only legit card of the bunch. A lot of the hitters can mash but are really slow or not great defensively. Most of the pitchers have good pitch selection and per 9s, but have less than ideal velocity. I like that it gives us playable cards from teams or players we like that otherwise wouldn't have a high diamond card.

I pop out more than I ground out bc I usually try for Home Runs and I have noticed that lately, I am getting more IF pop ups on good timing with the ball at the edge of the top of my pci

I want to see what TA4 is

Purple Saphire Roy Oswalt. That's right, I've double prestiged the dude

Fellow The Show players, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship - but that is not this day, an hour of showdown, before the world of Men comes crashing down - but not this day. This day WE FIGHT!

Never thought I would die fighting side by side with bunt cheesers

I'm almost 100 percent sure Altuve never wore a buzzer. It's insane how something someone said without a shred of evidence has become almost common knowledge. I am rooting for Altuve to give Chapman grinch face again if the Yanks can even get there

I've faced Pearson twice, once on HOF, once on AS. Got embarrassed both times, but I'm not great at hitting

Surprised I haven't seen any Kenny Powers CAPs out in the wild. I bet that was big a couple years ago

When does the next set drop? I could see Snell, Arozorena, Morton, or Margot for the Ray's. Altuve, McCullers, Framber, or Urquidy for Astros

I platoon Will Clark and Bagwell. Used to do Helton and Bagwell. I start the lefty and bring in Bagwell if a lefty starter is going. I also usually start a lefty in LF. If I'm facing a tough lefty, sometimes I bring in Posey for the LFer and then swap him to C and move Biggio to LF

Have you tried Wainwright?

Nope. I just tried Whitley, and he was insane. In my starting rotation for sure.

That's awesome! I've tried him dozens of times. I can't figure out how to use his card effectively. He gets rocked consistently for me. May give him a go again tonight

Bert Blyleven is good. Throw his hard curve everywhere. Sprinkle in the 4 seam, the slow curve, and a few change ups and you're gold. Hes the pitcher I get the fewest strikeouts with, but he also gets the most complete games for me.

That said I think the best games in RS, are when you are away team and there isn't much lag in the lineup screen

@mitchhammond24 said in Come on man:

I don’t mind it in br, but I can’t stand it in ranked. I only understand sum1 doing that in ranked if it’s their ws game or something. Otherwise it’s pretty lame imo

I haven't played much br. Isn't it like events, where there doesn't seem to be much lag whether you are home or away? If so, it only makes sense to do this in RS. I don't mind being the away team, but I definitely back out if there is too much lag in the lineup screen. I think the same amount of lag between scrolling down and it actually scrolling down is the same amount of lag that there will be between pressing swing and your guy actually swinging

@AlanThaGreat1 said in Rating mod:

If I wanted to play with low diamonds would the game match me up with a opponent with low diamonds as well? I’m kinda getting bored of god squads

I think your chances of facing a team of 99s doesn't change regardless of what you run out there. You could join an online league that has a team rating requirement

May give him a shot too
