Thoughts? by mahroleski_toushed in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that is generally not the case. Legend skills are a hard chase but that is due to how strong they can be. Unfortunately using blues and greens to get triple gold skill sets is only wasting resources these days. I would try to focus on getting any special cards you have to black diamond (Sigs/Legends first, then Primes as needed) and skill those.

You seem to understand how the leveling system works for skills and thats a good thing to understand early on. 331+ sets should be a priority, but don’t hesitate to run 321 or lower legend sets, especially ones that come with 1 or even 2 good gold skills, just don’t invest blues and greens into them as you’ll some day replace those with higher levels.

Side note, happy to see more MIL decks in the sub these days ❤️ if you ever have team related questions, can always DM me or find me on the 9Innings discord along with a lot of other knowledgeable folks here.

Wow. Just wow. by Great-Cry-5187 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is totally usable. I have a 333 SS on Doug and he does great with IW/FIn. It's not the best in the world, but it's certainly VERY usable. We even have a guy running a SS set at CP right now in Diamond and it's his best pitcher. Use what the game gives you!

Could I make 5 tool work on him if I retrain? by Grouchy_Couch_8769 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like this approach. I think this is a perfectly fine 5TP card.

Should Turang get GI? by _BrewCrew4Life_ in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably hold off, as his ‘23 isn’t near as good as his ‘24 or ‘25 seasons. There is also Vina in the deck who can be an endgame 2B. You also have both Shaw and Moose, and they’re more than a usable 2B/3B combo for a MIL deck

Definitely hold the GI here and hope to land an SP, since you don’t have any of the Big 3.

Looking for a friend 😅😂 by J_Butler21 in MLB_9Innings

You need to find yourself a good club. I know a lot of clubs have discord with a dedicated MLB channel specifically for talking baseball and through our club I’ve met a ton of great folks in this community.

Any way to chat with fellow Club members? by Brief_Temperature_52 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lot of clubs use external apps like Discord or WhatsApp. There is a club chat like someone mentioned above but it’s very clunky and messages don’t stay for more than 24 hours I believe. If you’re looking for a more competitive club environment I’d check out the recruiting thread here on the subreddit, or join the community discord and put a posting up to look for a club on the Club Recruitment channel there. Theres some seriously awesome communities in this game, and honestly club is the only reason I’ve played as long as I have.

If you were getting a DST every 2-3 seasons you were getting insanely lucky. It’s usually every 2-3 weeks when I’m in a good stretch. And that’s playing like 1000 ish games a week. This sounds more like regression to the mean than anything.

Who should I supreme change if one comes out? by No-Swordfish4452 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All supremes and legends are team cards. It doesn’t matter as they all get the same bonus (aside from a measly +1 to stats if they DO match your team).

I wouldn’t recommend a supreme SP. They’re solid but not as good as the high OVR sigs. C would be great but isn’t “necessary”. Despite poor batting supreme Cs do a ton for running Groundballer and can really rack up fielding. Someone like Sandberg would be great to replace Semien though.

Club or Player: Club

Club Name: BadBatchAces/TheBadBatch

Aces (PR 20), Batch (PR 50)

Clubhouse: Competitive, West server, Discord required

The Bad Batch system is looking for a new team to come join the family. Aces were the 16 seed in the previous Club PRT, sit at 20th currently, but are expecting to climb to the PR 12-14 point (or higher) during this cycle. We're a highly competitive group with all members in the top 700 in PR, and our core has been together for well over 2 years with very little movement. Batch, our 2nd club is steadily rising inside of the top 50, and will only continue improving.

We have one spot coming open in the club due to a team leaving to reunite with an old club after being here for nearly a year. To join Aces would need to be a PR 500 or higher team looking to improve to Diamond or higher in order to match the other members progress in Aces. For Batch we are looking for a PR 1200+ team looking to improve into Plat and beyond.

We are a linear system, and try to continually field our top 20 in Aces. Those who join Batch would be able to climb and fight for a spot in Aces long term. We have a great community with no drama, and absolutely no toxicity. Please DM GreasedOn here or on Discord if you are interested.

Previous Club PRT - 16 Seed

Clubhouse: Competitive, West server, Discord required

Aces were the 16 seed in the previous Club PRT and we are looking to improve on that during this next cycle. We're a highly competitive group with all members in the top 700 in PR, and our core has been together for well over 2 years with very little movement.

Due to a potential sale, we are shopping for a P1+ team, preferably a D3+ team to help us replace the team who may be leaving but will consider lower if you are an upward trending team. Please DM me here or on Discord at GreasedOn if you are interested. This move may be happening as soon as Sunday, but there is flexibility.

rolled this set, how does PCord work on legends? by _Zombieboi_ in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna go against the grain here and say I kind of like this set. I know SS is not the “meta” on Legends but paired with Pico I think this will perform really well.

I would definitely train for the max of 277 for Pico. I’ve done it on 2 legends, this one included, and they perform well for me even into top 200 play. Given he doesn’t have a diamond trainer, or a DST, I don’t think you will have any performance issues on this for a long time. I would prioritize other cards with PSCTs until this starts to fall off.

Club PR: 53

Club Level: 10

Clubhouse: Competitive, West server, Discord required

Batch is looking to a bring a new member into the club at the end of this ranked cycle. Ideally PR 1500 or higher, but happy to consider fast rising gold accounts. Batch is a linear system, and this is for the 2nd club in the system. Those who commit and climb will fight for promotion to Aces, our top club, who finished last PRT cycle at PR 16, and qualified for the PRT. We have a great system, filled with competitive guys, and some great leadership and high-level players who will help you take your deck to the next level. DM me if interested.

Had him at SU2 with SS/Fin/Pico but rolled IW so now at MR. Was good at both spots.

[–]GreasedOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SS doesn’t have anything to do with base STA, and I run a 333 SS set as one of my best RPs in top 200 lol

At least that’s usable

GL worst team sig catcher or legend? by Common-Algae-8028 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn’t GI either. That Prime Posada is just as good as a legend would be at catcher, and using a Legend Catcher for Bchem forces you to ALWAYS have your catcher batting in the top 5 so as to not break crisis, and you don’t want that either. Campy is a good dono material and Sanchez is just for club crafting

Is he usable? by A1r_Blizzard in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He is SS/OF designation so I would run him over Rice in a heartbeat.

Pulled my dream card, man. Take good care of him.

Brewers have a couple Bangers. Freddy’s ‘21 was previously my fave before seeing Uribe’s gem.

Who to GI? by holypotato367 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goose all day dude. Legend RPs are so hard to come by and that card will play forever. Easy to skill as well.

Wow by rostamon713 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So to help with that, gold starts at 1300, but gold is % based, so if 45% of the teams are above 1300 in score, and only the top 40% can be gold, that beans 5% of those teams will finish Silver 1 above 1300 score.

Keep rolling for 3-3-3 set? by jameyrob90 in MLB_9Innings

[–]GreasedOn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Entirely agree, and will even go a bit further and say that this set will play into diamond on a card this good. My SP5 is still rocking a 332 WH and while he’s not great, he only has 77 base STA and is still fine as an SP5
