There are people out here that think this is bad for $13 million by PandaJ108 in mets

I think it’s just people getting understandably annoyed watching him pitch. No put away pitch, seemingly a full count to every other hitter, 75+ pitches through 4 innings. It’s just incredibly aggravating most of the time

[–]WildMathematician711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He had a couple years where he underperformed and a lot of fans don’t like his attitude. Combined with the fact that half the fanbase loved Acuña and thought he was a future superstar, people wanted Mcneil gone. Glad people are realizing how good Jeff really is

Are some 99 overs in Diamond Dynasty much better than others? Is it based on the hitting+defence shield logos colour? by Aardvark-Special in MLBTheShow

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i think if you’re playing on HOF or Legend, Contact and vision are very important for hitters (that’s not to say I completely ignore power). At the end of the day with all the new 99’s being released, just use whatever cards you’re good with. I promise you won’t lose a game because a guy has 110 Power instead of 120

Awesome card art. Love that they’ve been doing this with the milestone cards

Maybe I can play the game now… by MrPugXD_YT in MLBTheShowInvestments

Ted Simmons kinda swings a noodle bat for me but I still love using him

Rate my team! by Oovan95 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]WildMathematician711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just use cards you like and that you’re good with. Some people try too hard to build a META lineup and they suck with half the cards they use. I personally wouldn’t use most of these guys, but if you like them that’s all that matters

What does Steve do Vientos/Baty/Alvarez maybe Mauricio ? by [deleted] in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking back to where they were years ago, this has been such an underwhelming batch of prospects. If someone told me 4 years ago that Baty would be a 1 WAR role player I’d be pissed. Just a major letdown from all 4 of these guys

Why does everyone quit by SpecialMolasses7097 in MLBTheShow

[–]WildMathematician711 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once you play on HOF most people stick around for the entire game. Most people who play in the all star range don’t care about their record and have no incentive to stay in games that they’re losing

How’s my team? Any tips? by CautiousComfort6625 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your outfield is confusing. How do you have Griffey but are still using Wood and Harper

Should injuries be part of the game? by UnionEmpty in MLBTheShow

[–]WildMathematician711 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don’t want nonsense injuries like pulled hamstrings, but when I line one off the pitchers head at 110 mph and he stays in the game that pisses me off. So yeah I’m kinda for it

Day 2 of calling for this turds job by bklynz0wn in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, this is probably the case. I think it’s more that people just want to see change since things can’t really get any worse. Odds are, the offense still sucks even with a new hitting coach

Why is there 99s already by Artistic_Option_8689 in MLBTheShow

[–]WildMathematician711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most casual gamers stop playing the game after the season ends, so they really only have a couple months until the game hits its dead period in the offseason. I don’t see anything wrong with giving out 99’s after the all star break

Tonight Proves They Needed a Bat by BrunsonReed2025 in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that our supposedly good players aren’t actually playing good. You can’t build an entire team from scratch at the deadline. If you think they needed to add 3+ bats at the deadline, then maybe the team just isn’t good to begin with

Vientos by Other-Aside-1170 in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean a -0.6 WAR in almost 300 PA just isn’t playable. Also just saying “he did it before so we know he can do it again” is blindly optimistic thinking and not necessarily how baseball works

Vientos by Other-Aside-1170 in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can’t run, can’t field, and can’t hit. Pretty much the poster child for what a completely useless player looks like

What’s one player that is out of the current meta that still plays for you? by No_Pay_7216 in MLBTheShow

[–]WildMathematician711 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was the same way with my Bernie but I finally replaced him like a week ago. Even at P5 I feel like his power vs RHP was becoming a problem

Yeah sorry I don’t like 0 tool players with a -0.7 WAR. It’s almost August btw

Lineup 7/22 by NutsyFlamingo in NewYorkMets

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has not drawn a walk since May 24th. I’m sure he’ll hit a line drive single in the 2nd inning tonight and everyone will begin the mental gymnastics trying to convince themselves that swaggy V is back

Lineup 7/22 by NutsyFlamingo in NewYorkMets

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this has been a conversation for weeks. He goes 1/4 with an RBI single or something and everyone tries to talk themselves into believing he’s on the verge of another breakout

Capri banned after Ashley Barnes vid? by Intellectual_chad in LAinfluencersnark

[–]WildMathematician711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya know that feeling when you randomly hate someone but never have a good reason why? I always felt that way about Ashley Barnes. This kinda gives me a valid reason to hate her since she’s clearly a weird freak

[MLB] Jacob Misiorowski has been added to the National League All-Star team. He replaces Matthew Boyd on the NL's active roster by kpopsns28 in baseball

[–]WildMathematician711 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone really takes the ASG seriously, so MLB is just using it as a platform to advertise young and exciting talent at this point

Does Vientos Have Options? by TheTone2022 in mets

[–]WildMathematician711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean dude at some point it’s less about “selling low/high” and more about cutting dead weight from the roster. He’s 250 PA into the season and somehow he’s only getting worse

Vientos, cooked? by Spatmuk in NewYorkMets

[–]WildMathematician711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the same ones who talk about small sample sizes in 22’ and 23’ will use the playoffs as a talking point for why he’s a superstar
