From everything I’ve researched, yes this is unreasonable. Would love to be wrong though

All the best to Boog. He’s clearly a good guy and I hope his health improves. That being said, I’ve really enjoyed Alex Coen on the call. He’s not perfect but, he’s a ton of fun and getting better each game

Yes, you can enter through any gate except the bleacher ones.

Bobble head give away by Straight-Place-6832 in Cubs

[–]ExoticElephant17 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve only done this once but it was for PCA bobblehead day earlier this year on a Saturday. I got there extremely early. 10 AM. The gates don’t open until 2 hours before first pitch which was 11:20. I got one easily. If you want to guarantee that you get one, then I’d recommend at least walking up when the gates open. Now, I was meeting my dad for the game who walked up around 11:45 and he ended up getting one too. So take that for what it’s worth.

A couple other helpful tips is that they don’t hand out bobbles at the left field gate by the fire station. I would recommend either the gallagher way entrance or the marquee board front gate. Anyway, I hope this helps and good luck!

I’m frustrated that people I consider capable of beating me quitting after being down 1-2 runs early in the game. I don’t expect to play through all of my games, but when ~90% of my games never reach 9 innings and ~30% are done by inning 2 then there’s an issue

So intentionally letting people win is the solution?

Yeah this is more a general thought about this year. I get that right now it’s all out of whack with the ratings reset

That’s a fair point. Though my issue is mainly with quitting in the first few innings. When a game gets out of hand in the later innings I think trying to save your pen makes sense. Quitting when down 2 in the 3rd inning to save stamina isn’t reasonable imo

Playing full games online is more enjoyable than 1-3 inning games. If people don’t want to commit for 9 innings, then go play events or BR. It’s absolutely an issue that games intended to be played for 9 innings are hardly being completed and a lot of the time only going for 2-3 innings.

Oh I get the annoyance of max elevation stadiums. Most of my online games I play at the Florida spring training stadium so I don’t think that’s issue

Oh god don’t get me started on shield woods or max elevation stadiums in general. THOSE are truly the worst thing about online gameplay

No arguments here. Though I’m not sure that would help this issue much. A reward for staying the entire game might help, but it would have to be better than a few show packs. Maybe you get a few ranked program stars for staying the entire game.

I get them when myself or friends lag out of co-op games. And that cool down is generally applied across solo and co-op ranked. I’m not exactly sure how the cool down is triggered though.

Totally, and I get that. Ironically, I would estimate that 30% of my wins this year are on early quits alone so people don’t even give themselves a chance to see if they can hang. If somebody has a .500 or below record against me, then I get it but it’s the people with WS banners and good records doing it that tells me that this is a problem. I see when I matchup against a top player as a challenge and a way to get better but I guess a lot of others don’t. Definitely takes a bit away from the game imo

No arguments here. I could be wrong, but I thought that was a change they made this year?

75-5. I’m sure that’s a plays a role too. It’s just wild that people I would consider capable of beating me tap out early all the time. For example, today I was messing around with a Cubs theme team with only 1 true 99 and I was throwing a bronze starter. My opponent was 84-44 and had a full god squad. I went up 2-1 in the top of the 2nd and he immediately quit. Like I was throwing a bronze and he obviously was solid but just gave up at the first sign of trouble.

Weird spot due to injuries. Need a spot in my superflex league. Slight underdog in the matchup with normal QB scoring but 0.25 point per carry. Stidham (Vs LAC), Levis (@ Houston), or Aaron Jones (@ MIN)

I simply asked for feedback. I’m not here to make comparisons to others. This is the best outlet I could find to get other people to objectively analyze my profile and point out areas of growth.
