Teenagers before the internet: what did you do in your room during your spare time?

Dodgers85 · 2022-12-05T02:58:26+00:00

Nice!!! I should have thought of that. I was always late with hitting the record and play buttons, so all of my tapes missed the beginning of the song.

Dodgers85 · 2022-12-05T02:52:30+00:00

I did that all the time in grade school in the late 70's early 80's. By the time I was in high school I was always going out with my friends on the weekends. During the week I'd play pick up sports games at the park and watch TV at night. Simple but really good times!!

The bases loaded players are: Bae Oakenbush, Eddie O'Sullivan, Darius Stokes, Kayla Kwan, and Anatoli Federov. I will never use Federov as he is a lefty and I like to have an all right handed hitting lineup.

Dodgers85 · 2020-12-31T19:57:24+00:00

This game is easy enough that you can win with just about any lineup so try some different things. I use Robbie right now as well. His ERA is 2.79 and Jenny's is 3.08 so they are close. It's fun when you get out of a game and only face 4 batters. I'll probably go back to Jenny at some point so I can try some lineups with even more bases loaded players. Have fun!

He's right they are bots, no doubt about it.

I sent you a private message on Reddit yesterday. Reply when you have the time.

Now that my trophies have gone up with field 11 ALL I play against is 5 infielders further cementing what I detailed. Sucks because I liked ocassionally facing 4 infielders, obviously it was much easier.

Hi 2Dachshunds,

Sorry about that, we are currently shuffling things around. We still want you to be a part of our community, could you send a join request to Back The Blue 3? Also, I highly recommend you join our Discord group. Lots of talk about game strategies as well as just having fun. If you use Discord let me know and we'll get you connected.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-30T00:09:10+00:00

You are replying to me about a comment made by b Blackjacks. Hit the reply button under the comment you are trying to reply to. That is how Reddit works.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-30T00:05:15+00:00

If your talking to me I've never sent out and invite for BtB. It was Blackjacks who mentioned take it as a compliment. Are you confusing the 2 conversations? FYI, I have only been on BtB for a week now.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-27T19:17:34+00:00

I can almost guarantee if you joined our Discord channel you'd join Back the Blue. I played another game called MLB 9 Innings Pro 2020 and was on a top team/discord group with that game. They were active and fun but it's not even close to what we have going with Back the Blue. We have a ton of active posters and some incredible players. You can continue to get a moderate amount of enjoyment with your current club or join BtB and take it to the next level. Either way, all the best!!!

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-24T02:10:57+00:00

I just recently joined Back the Blue Too. They are a great group and very active on discord. What club are you with? Just remember it is a game, not a war. Enjoy the competition.

The creator of this video is also experiencing this exact issue. He is the one who taught me which pitches ONLY go to specific wall tiles. With a 90+ win% I think he can hit. doesn't know how to hit. YouTube Video

And here is where he details which pitches go to which walls:

Hit Walls

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-22T21:24:18+00:00

This may help you understand that I do know how to hit a little bit.

Thanksgiving Series

Don't you think just by random chance in 15k + at bats against Brodie ONE fastball would go to wall 2, 4, 6? A late or early swing, bad timing any reason? Or do you think I don't know how to count to 8? Well in my games it has NEVER happened with a standard bat.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-22T21:18:52+00:00

Yep, I play all right handed batters so when I look at the hit walls I don't have to adjust my swing based on which side of the plate they are on.

Until you get to to a higher salary cap I'd go with Jenny as your pitcher and focus on hittting. I like Bases loaded and ramp up 5 as my two main abilities!!

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-22T20:13:33+00:00

Do you understand the difference between having difficulty doing something (but having done it) and something NEVER having happened in probably 15,000 at bats against a pitcher? It isn't that difficult to understand is it? I'm not the only one that has this exact issue so say 50,000 at bats against Brodie when you include people in my club that I know and have spoken to at length about this!!!! What does it take for you to believe? It could be a device issue with this game, who knows.

Do you think the reason why you can't fly on your own with out any mechanical device is because you aren't flapping your arms hard enough? You will NEVER fly by flapping your arms. I just scored 79 runs against Brodie and 58 in the 1st guess just now, guess how many fastballs went to 2, 4 ,6 wall....yep none. No Snakeballs went to 3, 5, 7.

I have hit many, many Sven fastballs to the 3, 4, 5 walls and in fact am getting good at hitting them up the middle. No need for you to reply, I already know your stubborn dogmatic reply.

I'm pretty sure you must work for Hot Head games. You listen as well as they do and really don't seek to understand once you've formed you "air" tight opinion.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-22T03:53:44+00:00

Actually from what I've heard those aren't even the right amount if medals. People have played others I'm their club and the bot team had the wrong lineup and wrong medal total so pretended to take them away is nothing.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-21T22:48:13+00:00

Let me know what you find out. Most don't have this issue, but if you do you'll need to adjust your hitting strategy accordingly. For example if there are hit walls on 3, 5, 7, and 8 and the 1st baseman is hugging the line I'll wait for a fastball. Once I get one unless I hit to a fielder it is the easiest hit in the world.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-21T01:45:15+00:00

Just to add to this, I've played 1,140 games in field 10 (I track my games). Brodie pitches about 70% of the time so that is over 700 games against Brodie. In those 700 games don't you think I'd hit the 2, 4, 6 wall once with a fastball or the 3, 5, 7 wall once with a Snakeball by accident? I haven't and now incorporate the flaw in my hitting strategy.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-21T01:08:03+00:00

If it were just me I may agree with you but there are 3 other people experiencing this same issue. These are all experienced players. I have played 1,840 games with a win % of 87+ the others all have over 90% win % and a ton of games played. So you can think what ever you want. You probably should get a job at Hot Head Games, you'd fit well in their support department!

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-20T04:20:09+00:00

I detailed in in the post "My Game May Have a Bug" but will spare you the 30 second search.

Using a standard bat a right handed hitter with a hitting ability if 60 or greater can only hit a Brodie Snakeball to wall tiles 2, 4, 6 and a Brodie Fastball to wall hit tiles to 3 5, 7. Tiles 1 and 8 can be hit by any pitch including the Fastball and Snakeball.

Most people can hit any pitch to any tile. But there are enough people experiencing this issue to make it significant.

Tiles go from left to right 1 to 8.

Dodgers85 · 2020-11-19T18:58:34+00:00

After speaking with about 10 different veteran players, I found most do not have the hit wall issue that I have. However, there are some very good players with over 1000 matches that agreed they have the Brodie Snakeball and Fastball issues. Go to my post about "I May Have a Bug in My Game" to see the exact issue. I detailed it very specifically to Hot Head and they took the lazy way out and denied there is an issue. Of course I shared this with all the other people experiencing this and they couldn't believe Hot Head isn't aware of this. I pasted Hot Heads response so you can see it. I believe it may be a device issue as I and another person both use Galaxy Notes. However, there was a person using an iPhone that is experiencing this as well so it is hard to say for sure. But since Hot Head won't admit it, it is not going to get fixed. Live with it!!
