RE: Astros GM, manager suspended
It's absurd that the title wasn't stripped. It's absurd the players got off 100% free. If this is the new standard, then the permanent bans of Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe need to be lifted.

RE: Breakout Felipe Vazquez/Veteran Ty Cobb
Anyone else think it's fitting that a man in prison has a Breakout series card?

I'm toxic...i do believe you are the one attacking me for asking a legitimate question..but sure your right...i've noticed that about you..your always right
No it's your....
belonging to or associated with the person or people that the speaker is addressing.
It's you're. It's a contraction for "you are", which is what you were saying (but sure you are right, you are always right). "Your" is possessive to an object or idea

RE: I have a confession to make...
That's usually how I refer to my cats, too.
RE: What relievers would you like to see next year?
Bjyung-Hyun Kim would be awesome
RE: SS Cards
I'll probably get tarred and feathered for this, but a SS Mookie seems a little... weird? to me. Yes yes yes WAR, OPS, numbers, statistics, etc. But I honestly feel like it's a bit premature and that he hasn't been around long enough to warrant one.
RE: Personal Favorites That Were Not Great Lifetime Career Players?
I'm an NL West guy and it is a god forsaken tragedy that Larry Walker isn't in the game.
Edit: that wasn't what this thread was supposed to be about at all.
RE: DO NOT bring back stadium sounds
I played someone last night who had that DJ Air Horn set for every stadium sound. So anytime anything remotely important happened, I got blasted with it.
RE: CY Young, Ralph Kiner, and Paul Konerko Stats
So two Frank Thomases and Cy Young without a secondary fastball, basically.

Yeah this is something I really don't like. I also wish we could see how many people have viewed a thread like we could on the old foruns
View count is showing up on my work desktop. Don't think it shows on mobile, though.

RE: Another Award Winning Year
I'm sure competitors gladly would feel brave enough to make a baseball game.....
...... if they had the rights. It's a monopoly, not a competitive landscape (which benefits consumers). Economically speaking, there's no real drive to truly innovate. What I do think is remarkable is that in spite of not having to do anything at all, SDS has added new features and improved content year after year.
RE: Cutters
I love the cutter. In on the hands is good for a K or jam, cutter away is good for getting a rolled over grounder, backdoor/front door cutter is a good sneak attack pitch. It's all about sequencing and how you use it.

Lifelong giants fan here, and I genuinely feel bad for the Dodgers. They got Cora'd two World Series in a row. Its ridiculous that no players were disciplined over this. That's the power of the union, I guess.
MLB gave immunity to the players to get them to tell the truth in the investigation. So it's really on Manfred.
Then the investigation reveals it was a "mainly player driven" scheme, but none of the players can be punished. SMH!
I think it's awesome that opposing players aren't keeping quiet about it. What Clevinger said in his little interview snippet was great. Hood justice

It'd be awesome if there were some drawbacks to each option, as well. Makes it a little more RPGish, which they've said they're aiming for.
Bruce Bochy: +15% bullpen stamina, -10% power
Aaron Boone: +10% power, - 15% vision
etc. etc. etc.
What boost would Hinch and Cora provide?
Unemployment perk. Collect 100 extra stubs at the end of every game played
RE: Fiverr...
Super against, but hustle and make that money
RE: Friendlies wanted....Looking to improve my game
I'm a west coaster on about the same times as you and all my friendlies currently are with east coasters, so I'm game.
RE: PCI vs Buttons
Zone gives you better control over your batted ball outcome than the other methods.
Example: if I'm batting with a runner on third, I can manipulate the PCI so that the batted ball will go to the right side of the diamond, no matter where the ball is located. With directional, a lot of that is dictated by where the pitch is located and the RNG of the hitting card's contact, vision, clutch, and power attributes. The same with pure analog (or flick or whatever it's called now). You can only control the timing of your flick in pure analog, if I remember correctly. Yes, there's still RNG with zone hitting.
I was a pure analog hitter for years until I decided to make the switch to zone at the tail end of '17. I can't imagine going back. That being said, there are some very successful pure analog and directional hitters.
RE: I know who the Red Sox are hiring as new head coach...
Head coach, eh? Nice try, officer.
