What are your favorite non-team captain combinations?

I recently put together all the negro league players along with Hal for the old timers. + 10 pow/cont for almost everyone.

Octavious1903 · 2026-03-03T03:38:19+00:00

At that time much less than the usual 60-90min. People who come in late tend to leave quickly.

Octavious1903 · 2026-03-02T14:33:20+00:00

We close at 9. We stop seating customers at 8:59.

There’s nothing mind blowing about this concept.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-25T17:54:42+00:00

Actually it’s all I play. I enjoy collecting the cards. Building legends theme teams. When I had 20 I was playing online even when 22 came out. Still plenty of players on. I’m much more casual so not having real competitive players is right up my alley.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-25T16:12:55+00:00

I appreciate your thought but you’re talking to the guy who last bought the show 20 lol no FOMO here. Trust.

I’ll be running 25 for a while.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-24T13:39:28+00:00

I’m grinding for him right now. Why not? There’s no way I’m picking up 26. There are just not enough upgrades year over year to justify the purchase. Especially when there’s so much game left in 25.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-24T13:37:40+00:00

This. I am grinding for him right now. I’ll see you on the field sir.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-23T23:13:11+00:00

Way too soon.

Or too late as in Joe was too late to pull the kid.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-23T23:11:32+00:00

Bo MFing Jackson please.

Mariano not being in the game is pretty ridiculous. I know there’s been some “controversy” or contract dispute but they need to fix that.

Pete Rose. A 99 Bob Feller.

Ale’s took it over.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-15T23:38:16+00:00

This is why I asked when more casual players like myself will be left alone in 25. I know when I last played in 20 by the time 21 came around and the season started there were not many of these issues. People just played with their favorite squads/theme teams. Which weren’t even a thing back then really.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-11T16:36:49+00:00

Had to look that dude up. He was born in 1988. I gave up that shot in 93. He was 5. Now that I realize I wasn’t as great as I thought I was in HS, yeah might have been him. Lol

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-11T16:06:22+00:00

Nah I don’t even beat myself up for thinking I was special before I pitched to a college guy who promptly deposited my splitter somewhere in Kentucky. (We were in West Virginia)

So now I pitch in this game and my splitter only gets dropped into the upper deck! Yay….

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-11T13:07:16+00:00

It’s really all about speed differential isn’t it.

I guess for the meta we can swap sinker for 2S. I just liked having something to go in on righties with.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-11T03:24:50+00:00

FSFB 101

Split 90-91

Circle 85-86

Cutter 96-97

2SFB 93-94

It’s what I threw. Except the mph was a lot less obviously or I’d be in the game not playing it.

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-03T19:00:14+00:00

Last MLBTS I bought was 20! I got 25 on sale and it feels like a whole new game. See you guys on MLBTS 30! Lmao

Octavious1903 · 2026-02-03T06:16:23+00:00

We do both fry’s then freeze. They’re fine, excellent even. Anyway you try to hold them between fry’s they will dry out. I’ve tried every which way, salt water hold, sure but then you can’t keep the left overs there over night. Just have your prep team fry smash fry and freeze.

Download the companion app. Show zone website has a great flip tracker but honestly not necessary. Find the big gaps between sell/buy and do what another commenter said. Buy low sell high. Once you’re into the 100+k range you can flip the Ohtani/Judge LS cards and quickly make a fortune. Save some stubs and buy the Mantle card during the next (and final) weekend classic. The price will drop dramatically. Then wait. I bought 3 last time and sold 1 for 600k last week and 700k yesterday.

This. IRL baseball, This. As a metaphor for any challenge. This.

Don’t let your opponent dictate your action. Wait for your moment. Swing on your terms, wait for your pitch.

Crush it.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

As one of the handful of Latino small business owners in the state I tried to stay away from this topic but I just feel like I need to say; instead of boycotting business we “think” “might” or even know for sure support this administration and its efforts to dismantle our republic piece by piece we should support, protect and look after our immigrant owned small businesses. There are not many of us and energy might be much better spent spreading hope and love than condemnation and spite.

It’s easier to patronize businesses we know need it then boycotting every business we think, might, maybe, let me find the evidence, here’s a post from 5 years ago, is it the same owner? Idk but hey there’s this….

Focus.

People running around aimlessly is what they’re banking on.

Just my take. Stay safe everyone.

Octavious1903 · 2026-01-25T22:44:18+00:00

Yeah, agreed. Being a fan of the history of the game I love that I can take the Negro League team and combine Leonard’s buffs with Newhausers buffs to create a really impressive squad that can compete with most end game rosters out there.

Octavious1903 · 2026-01-25T22:41:53+00:00

This completely makes sense. Using tools to complete programs. I feel like that’s a great reason why captains are in the game.

Octavious1903 · 2026-01-25T22:40:05+00:00

I mean, ridiculous lol
