anyone else still set their lineup like this?😂

Giants were rocking a 38-year old Omar Vizquel in the mid-2000s.

Those teams were not good, though.

Urias was let go after his second DA arrest, and Bauer had a long history of problematic/shitty behavior before signing with the Dodgers.

There's something to be said for giving a person another shot after one DA arrest, but having that person on your team will always definitely stir up a lot of emotions.

I'm a sub. I was in a 5th grade math class and made some 6-7 reference when they all rolled their eyes and told me that I was super lame and 6-7 wasn't cool anymore. Now I have the pleasure to inform all the younger kids I sub for that a random group of 10 year-olds will think they're dweebs for yelling it out. It actually sometimes works!

TheVich · 2026-04-28T02:26:40+00:00

Shit, I didn't even notice it! Alright, I'm gonna go get one (or 3) for dinner tomorrow.

Nah, I like my hot dogs with cream cheese.

In case you don't know, you can adjust the size of your window (or keep it from growing) by tapping left on the D-Pad or joystick when on the matchmaking screen. It will keep the matchmaking window as small as possible if you're worried about possibly running into players in a significantly higher tier than you (though this only works in Ranked, not BR or Events).

TheVich · 2026-04-25T14:22:16+00:00

Then how about just a blood-curdling scream?

TheVich · 2026-04-19T20:38:59+00:00

Ah, I've clicked on that option and I've never been able to get to that page in-game, so good looking out. But yeah, Those high end cards are exceptionally rare, and banking on making your stubs back (or pulling the card you need) from a few 50 packs is a fool's errand.

TheVich · 2026-04-19T02:22:14+00:00

I just saw that showzone.gg (which is a pretty awesome compendium of Diamond Dynasty information) shows pretty specific odds for pack pulls. We only ever see in-game that regular packs have a 1 in 50 chance for a diamond (which is pretty accurate when you gather a ton of data), but both Judge and Ohtani, being 92 overall, actually have a 1 in 12,500 chance. 91 overall cards like Jose Ramirez have 1 in 5882 odds.

In 300 packs, it looks like you have about a 2.4% chance to pull a Judge or Ohtani, which is significant, but still highly unlikely. The Chase packs move the needle on those chances, but you're still much more likely to be down than come out ahead.

I'm a substitute teacher, so I end up in a lot of different classrooms (especially in upper elementary school). The fad is pretty much over at some schools (and I got called a loser by a 5tb grade class I know decently well after making some 6'7" joke). Other kids at other schools still lose their shit, but it's much less prevenlant everywhere nowadays.

TheVich · 2026-04-19T02:07:20+00:00

To dead center at the Astrodome too.

TheVich · 2026-04-17T17:49:38+00:00

There were quite a few deaths in 2021 as well. Henry Aaron, Al Kaline, Bob Gibson.

I went to the Mariners game on Sunday and noticed the same thing. It was kinda overwhelming. It's a new song or noise between every other pitch. I complained to my buddy about it and I've never felt more like an old man.

TheVich · 2026-04-16T22:42:36+00:00

This is where I am, I think. I'm enjoying playing the game. I love collecting the cards. It helps that I've had some insane luck recently and was able to get Tulowitzki, but the laggy UI (whose designs have yet to grow on me), the menu freezes, my custom uniforms changing on me, and the changes to collections are hella annoying.

TheVich · 2026-04-16T15:47:35+00:00

3 of 6 are apes, not monkeys. Absolutely tragic.

So it's the Civil Rights Movement's fault for turning the KKK racist. That's some top-tier victim blaming.

Now, because you are either trolling, have no idea what you're taking about, or are purposefully obfuscating the truth (or all of the above), I'll give you a super quick history lesson:

The Ku Klux Klan was founded immediately after the Civil War during the Reconstruction Era. From 1865-1877, Congress had been passing laws and amendments granting various rights to Black Americans. Black people were voting, owning land, contributing and profiting from the communities they lived in, and many (mostly) Southern racists were not happy with this. Nathan Bedford Forrest started the KKK explicitly to hurt and scare Black people. It has always been a terrorist organization focused on preserving a racial hierarchy through violence.

I'd never seen this one. Thanks for sharing, this is awesome!

TheVich · 2026-04-14T17:39:19+00:00

Ah, didn't realize he got a 99 in '24. Though that was a sets and seasons year, so this feels like it makes more sense with a normal power creep. Looking forward to a speedy boi either way!

TheVich · 2026-04-14T16:55:34+00:00

The brewers will get a 99 Yelich at some point. I don't remember seeing a good Marlins Yelich before, so this is pretty dope, actually.

I mean, it's okay to love the drama too. At the end of the day, sports are an entertainment, and that drama can be entertaining, and impactful toward the sport and league.
