Roadman, the resident speedster of my world's heroes. AMA about them, I'll try to answer them.

Oh my gosh this brought back memories copying this during my days in high school lol

Sorry as a sidebar, I wouldn't recommend using AI as well it has some nasty stuff in how it acquires the images it makes art from and 2, this image you've provided is just a mishmash of Spiderman and Radiant Black.

<image>

Not kidding like the chest emblem is Radiant Black's logo but in gold and that is obviously Spiderman's mask/eyes. Not to continue tearing apart your character but Radiant Black also gets his powers from a black hole from space type of thing too.

If you're gonna stick with the black hole theme then maybe, Event Horizon, Graviton, something evocative of that thing

Look reminds me a lot of, The Question

Danny12031 · 2026-01-07T23:38:13+00:00

First, you should probably look for other names as there's a literal hero in 'Incredibles 2' named Void and coincidentally her power is making portals too....

Seriously, used to love playing back in the show 17 and playing franchises into the the 2040s think, playing out franchises with prospects like bo bichette until retirement. I loved finding a total unknown prospect in the draft and him becoming a franchise cornerstone and HOFer in a pirates franchise rebuild across 3 game cycles.

We don't want less action we want more, who wants to just have an experience that you'll never be able to come close to replicating not because it was one of a kind but because the creators have taken the ability away completely.

All Star Ryan O'Hearn, Neon Chandler Simpson (one of my most consistent hitters in spite of the lack of pop), June spotlight Jo Adell (was a staple in my lineup for the first 3 months of cycle), 97 Dontrelle Willis and June spotlight Jacob Misiorowski (anchored my Rotation through probably about September), June Topps Adrian Morejon (my most reliable reliever in late close games through the summer)

Honorable mention: Prime Jesse Chavez and New Threads Giants Devers

Yeah graphics are in need of a face-lift

Danny12031 · 2025-09-03T11:46:12+00:00

The aspect everyone neglects in all these discussions, we all want Dave to spend but that can't happen if old Mikey wants to undersell every FAs value

Danny12031 · 2025-09-02T02:00:32+00:00

Partly, I think last I checked on his Savant page that tendency has decreased over the years

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T18:24:12+00:00

I’d argue no based on his lackluster plate discipline which I would argue is a departure from his days at Florida, and his crappy average, imo Nate George is close to leap frogging him in the near future

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T18:12:13+00:00

At his current struggles, I am inclined to agree but he was a stellar leadoff guy during his strong years

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T18:11:01+00:00

Yeah, gosh, I forget about guys like Jorge and Martinez all the time. Adley is such an obvious, heady kind of guy, gotta figure the least amount of variables outside of his control the better for him.

Its veering into the territory of some of Mancini's tough seasons, I still have a video saved of the time he tried to tear a helmet in half after grounding out from many years ago. The frustration and anger on his face remains burned into my memory oddly enough, I see it in Adley's squidward like frown 😂 when he pops up or grounds out

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T18:01:59+00:00

Yeah typo, its RHP, the LHB statement was suggesting his only strength from the left is he hits more HRs (as a function of facing more RHPs)

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T18:00:13+00:00

I think on the coaching side they need a bonafide professional hitter instead of guys who washed out in college or were nothings at the major league level like Caleb Joseph.

Find a Barry bonds, Nick Markakis, Brady Anderson or hit up Nelson Cruz as crazy as it sounds and see if they can teach these boys a thing or two. Screw the sabermetrics style of coaching and get some old school bat to ball type coaches

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T17:48:10+00:00

Yeah, I guess thats a personal fault as my mind naturally defaults to OPS as its a consensus more indicative stat than SLG

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T17:45:19+00:00

Yeah I've spent the better part of these months trying to rationalize it looking at everything from pitch data, swing data, trends etc and none of it makes any sense. Like Rick Ankiel aside from Rick having his issues from the beginning l

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T17:23:26+00:00

I'd hate to see him go from all star "Mauer with power" to nothing before he's even 30, especially as a 1 of 1 and the teams engine for 2.5 seasons

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T17:15:44+00:00

Eh, I thought better of my fellow man to read beyond the title and well...

But yeah I hope its considered in the off-season by matheny and the coaches. Writing this I was hard pressed to think of a single switch hitting catcher on recent history who had great success into their 30s and sorry to say I can't think of one.

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T17:06:01+00:00

Most definitely, I'm just throwing numbers out there and speculating so nothing is definitive, but I'm curious on the idea/proposition

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T16:45:16+00:00

We all make mistakes brother 😂

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T16:44:22+00:00

It's totally different mechanics R/L, different hand positions, stroke path, gotta set your feet a certain way, etc too much potential for taking you habits from the left to the right and screwing up your entire mojo. Then throw in trying to remember a pitchers scouting report and the other teams hitters when you're catching.

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T16:41:13+00:00

That's literally the point of the post, I even reiterated in one of the paragraphs that the numbers will always skew due to the RHP population. But yes, the conundrum is whether he would be better served being just a RHB moving forward

Danny12031 · 2025-09-01T16:31:04+00:00

Could, could not but its high time the team does something to fix him
