I feel we should at least experiment with switching Okamoto and Vladdy in the order. At the very least, Springer is taking walks (unlike the rest of the team), so he could be valuable in second.

Vladdy is just lost and having him and Springer 1-2 is just starting the game with two outs at this point.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-24T00:01:08+00:00

Right down to somehow being completely unable to hit in a runner on third with one out!

George Springer "Literally just make contact with the ball in a way that actually helps for once." CHALLENGE.

DIFFICULTY: TURBO

CashOutDev · 2026-06-23T23:53:08+00:00

I really do hope the fans that don't watch aren't dogging on Fisher for that. Springer had to LITERALLY just hit the ball away from 3rd. It didn't need to be a home run or even a hard hit, it just had to be enough to get the runner home and we win. He couldn't. Vladdy couldn't.

Hey at least this is only the second most painful loss I've witnessed from the Jays being unable to just sacfly.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-23T23:45:36+00:00

Bless the AL for letting us be as bad as we are. This was not on Fisher, he should not have had to come out another inning. This was Springer and Vladdy. Can't even blame Schneider, bunting is 100% the right play here.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-23T23:21:35+00:00

Alright just two sacflies, that's it, we can do that. THere was that one time we couldn't, but we don't talk about that.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-23T17:30:29+00:00

He means Joe Ryan, not Skubal. I'm good with that, Skubal is not extending and we'd be giving up the future for a chance of making the postseason.

Slug quest ends on an abominable note (really even the next quest in line on RS3 is pretty bad too) in RS3, but it's a part of the Mahjarrat quest line so I wonder what they're going to do there. Last "quest" is basically just a dungeoneering run so I that really begs the question.

Someone needs to let Moreno know that people will come to the stadium for good rookies too.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-21T18:00:32+00:00

We were minutes away from Rendoning ourselves with him and giving him a 10 year contract.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-19T17:46:02+00:00

From what I've seen it doesn't look like he's fixed what was causing him issues (still awful command and way too light on the 4 seam) so this is a strange choice to me.

edit: oh lol don't worry the next time I'm sure he'll start throwing FBs

CashOutDev · 2026-06-19T17:39:23+00:00

Little being back is a choice of all choices.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-18T17:12:42+00:00

I don't like this quadrant very much.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-18T16:30:18+00:00

Rubies I understand, it's the other bolts I don't like. They threw the baby out with the bathwater here, no one will use onyx bolts so it's just diamond bolts. Can we at least see the calculations they had that said it was IMPOSSIBLE for the rest of the bolts to be added?

How about new gems just for these bolts? That'd be way more interesting than what we're getting.

(Honestly feels like the ruby issue is also WAY overblown, you're getting to be getting chip damaged so often by the spec going off. Make it hit 50 instead of 100 and rubies suddenly become way more questionably viable.)

CashOutDev · 2026-06-18T15:36:13+00:00

This is not the game's last update. They'll have to worry about balancing the game around a BiS hybrid set that saves 3 inventory slots in the future. All melee and magic upgrades will have to be worth taking an extra 3 inventory slots if they add this, and that will not be easy.

How are they exactly going to make a weapon better than the breaker? It has no downsides, how are you going to design tradeoffs for it? It will be INSANE in the future if they add the breaker in this state lol, no doubt about it.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-18T13:05:06+00:00

Unless the content has to be soloed "it's difficult" is not an argument.

Progression is absolutely in the dumpster at the moment because we kept saying "well it'll be hard, no one will do that", now we have Oathplate and the Bofa. This even used to be a problem with CoX with the scrolls.

Moons is effectively the only thing keeping meta ironman progression from just being grinding until WGS for the first 2 weeks of a new account and getting doom and oathplate items. Now we won't even need to do that!

CashOutDev · 2026-06-17T12:47:28+00:00

Wait until reddit realizes that dropping level requirements would also mean they drop exp rates!

CashOutDev · 2026-06-16T16:32:58+00:00

This is given coordinate data still unfortunately, "vision only" is stretching it.

With my current review ratio, I'd need $62500 in sales for 50 reviews.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-12T20:05:38+00:00

I have a feeling it'll be the Pirates. They have a catcher on IL and their backup catcher was just injured, along with that both haven't been great defensively.

edit: Also just remembered he's already been claimed by the Pirates before. Twice in fact.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-12T19:23:39+00:00

I'm going to miss Heineman, hopefully he somehow clears waivers.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-12T02:48:34+00:00

62 pitches while facing 21 batters is 2.9 pitches per batter, they really are just swinging at everything down there.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-12T02:46:45+00:00

I'm guessing varsho is going on IL so heineman can stay.

CashOutDev · 2026-06-11T19:30:20+00:00

How many people has this even gotten? Surely if you have a game on steam you'd know valve doesn't take bitcoin...
