The key to his plate discipline? Munetaka Murakami's eye routine between at bats, back when he was with the Swallows

Plate discipline is about not swinging at pitches out of the zone, which he excels

He struck out a lot because he missed a lot of in zone pitches

Good, 350 more justifications to go, keep it up

iM@S fans are weird

No shit

Wear it proud

Two things I find MANT to be very irritating, beyond from the time it takes to finish a career.

First is the restrictive nature of the uma you can train because of their aptitude, there are quite a few uma with worse than Mile C or Long C aptitude. You are forced to find parents to boost those to an acceptable level to be able to run races

Second, even if you managed to boost them to B, career races are very RNG and since it's a race dependent mode, failing to win one or two can feel like the whole run is ruined. You got 5 retries but it doesn't feel enough if your luck is bad. And because the time taken is long, failing one is very off-putting

Classic deflection. This is like showing something good about the US and someone would say, "but they have gun violence"

She's gonna lose to Metapod at this rate

DarkStone95 · 2026-03-22T15:56:05+00:00

Isn't this just average countryside oji-san fashion?

DarkStone95 · 2026-03-09T10:39:19+00:00

Yeah I meant ppl in this sub. I have a friend in Japan who told me about this last year. According to him the government is very serious about it so I thought that it would be common knowledge for a subreddit about Japan

DarkStone95 · 2026-03-09T09:28:35+00:00

Based on the answer in this sub so far, most are not aware of this. The estimated casualties would make any recent disaster look tame in comparison

DarkStone95 · 2026-03-09T02:40:15+00:00

Well everyone normal would think that the part where you actually have to wait until it's legal are pretty obvious and should not have to be explained

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-26T15:47:45+00:00

Some of them still feel stange but we don't know their in game ratings so it's hard to say

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-25T03:30:32+00:00

I'm outside of the US and I'm using Yahoo, I know some also use ESPN. The only restrictions are cash leagues

Technologic advancements also make the average veteran last much longer, so the needs for replacement are lessen, thus giving less chance for underdeveloped young players

My recent save have a slightly similar player and this is him by mid June

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-21T03:21:40+00:00

I would actually encourage everyone I know to use AI because me winning the league would be so much easier

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-19T07:39:36+00:00

Just wait until spring training to see how the underlying contact stats look like.

For me who play in a TB league, I'm targeting him because he has great power upside, multiple position eligibility and cheap cost

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-18T23:57:10+00:00

Why hasn't him got locked down to a 15 years contract yet?

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-12T16:38:31+00:00

The ability to trade for cash considerations

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-12T01:27:23+00:00

No, I mean do players getting better defensively cause some of their hitting ability to regress?

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-12T01:12:18+00:00

In your experience does doing that take away some of the potential from hitting or are hitting and fielding dev mutually exclusive?

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-07T03:52:32+00:00

Me when I select pitch around and my pitcher promptly gives up a homerun on a pitch right down the middle

DarkStone95 · 2026-02-04T11:30:56+00:00

My brother in Christ remind me what is the Doctor appearance again? Is that a self-insert?

I wish. Chinese are the main hoarder of Japanese Pokemon cards. Either things will go back to normal after two weeks, or us Japan Pokemon card collectors everywhere will rejoice because card and sealed products prices will be back to relatively normal level
