If you need someone to talk to man, we’re All here for you, we’ve all felt the pain.

Last night I offered a guy a friendly before the game as he had an insane team and record, and people playing that late are always crazy good. He declined it, and he eventually quit once I got up 8-3 in the 8th inning. Felt pretty good.

How has everyone done with SS Maddux? Surprisingly I haven’t faced him yet. I’m not a huge fan of having a sinker, 4 seam, she cutter as 3 of his 5 pitches, but 97 control and good per 9’s are hard to pass up. Any comments or opinions would be helpful, thanks!

Anyone have any decent pack luck with the flash sale? I pulled 99 Scherzer out of the headliners one, which is probably one of the best you could do out of any of those packs, but other than that I pulled the low round/tier out of every other pack. Still will make stubs back if I choose to sell him though. What did y’all pull?

How cool would like a 97-99 topps now Brett Phillips card would be? I’d love that

I’m extremely thankful that I got to 500 stars in the 11th inning program yesterday and sold the fifth inning boss for 120 K. For the first time the MLB The Show gods were watching out for me.

I’ve used him for two games (about 11 innings) and he’s only allowed like 5 hits and he maybe has 15K’s. Small sample, but the sidearm mixed with 102 on the fastball has been good for me so far. And this year I suck at pitching lol

I’m currently at 844, and the previous highest ive been in previous seasons (and years) was like 750. Ballpark, How many More wins do y’all think it’d take, 3-4 depending on the rank of the player? Also, any tips for these last few games? I appreciate any feedback or help!

From completing TA’s after stage 3 came out. In about a week and a half span, I pulled Degrom 3 times, Bellinger, Arenado, and Verlander out of TA’s or Ballin’s. Never had any pack like that ever before. Since than I haven’t pulled anyone decent from doing TA’s. But it was fun while it lasted

For some reason the 85 player program Kerry Wood carves for me, sub 2 ERA over like 35 innings or so

Anyone have an issue with their best hitters going into a slump after using them for so long? For example the 99 Nick Castellanos was my best hitter for quite a while, he was hitting like .375 at one time, but as of late, (maybe his last 75-100 at bats) he’s been bad, his average has gone down to .315

I’ve had similar slumps with players like 96 Yaz, 99 Jackie, 99 Nolan but not as drastic.

Should I just bench them for a few games and see if I’m more fresh when them then?

If you’ve had this issue, I’d love to hear how you fixed it.

For anyone who watched KevinGOHD and Dimmu play, any ideas on how dimmu used that glitch (if it’s not patched already)?

Chipper Jones. Can’t hit with him from either side of the plate. Never have been able to. But if my opponent has him and I’m throwing a lefty, it’s an automatic home run, so that contributes to my dislike of his cards

@eatyum said in Stealing:

I'll throw the question back at you in reverse. Why should perfect throws have to result in outs?

I’m not saying it should be an automatic out by any means. If they get a good jump, I’ll gladly tip my cap, But if the ball beats the runner on a perfect throw they should be out a majority of the time.

I played a game earlier today where I had a guy stealing left and right on me. 3 different times, I made a perfect throw to second or third and even though the ball beat him, a hook slide made him safe each time. Anyone else have this issue? What’s the point of having a ‘perfect’ throw when a hook slide just automatically makes them safe.

For those who have played MLB the show for multiple seasons, what one or two of your favorite cards from past games? For it, going way back, in 2016, live series Carlos Gonzalez was by far my favorite card. 97 Josh Hamilton was also a favorite from that year. Immortal trout in 2018 was pretty great too.

Has anyone used him much? I did well with his prospect card, plus I normally do well with cards with outlier. Is he worth the price?

@Seeber_97 said in Too many stubs:

I made a post like this maybe a month ago, but I have more stubs than I know what to do with. I’ve got about 750 K, I have Trout, Mantle, and Lindor already. For the first time all year all 5 guys in my rotation are doing decent, and same with my bullpen. I’ve got a few platoons in the field, but I have no idea what i should do with my stubs.

I’ve thought about trying out the new Arrieta or maybe the new Kopech. But if y’all have any particular favorite or underrated cards, I’d love to hear! Thanks for the input.

Edit: I also have almost every TA to 100, I only have maybe 7 or 8 that are like 80% or more
