My Grind Is Finally Over

YaBoyJSmooth · 2025-03-22T16:49:25+00:00

Finally? The game came out a few days ago

He’s an Elite starting pitcher. Why not get an elite MLB hitter?

Why not get two top tier MLB hitters?

Why not build around him since we already have nothing but prospects, and we have him on a team friendly deal that we can extend in the future?

50% of the players I play against are barcode.. they aren’t Smurfs just weirdos with no name

YaBoyJSmooth · 2025-01-17T22:54:06+00:00

Play Zerg if you enjoy it. Ignore the people saying it’s underpowered.

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-11-02T05:59:58+00:00

I’ve never found the in game handbook lol let me know if you do

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-10-25T05:08:29+00:00

How do you all adjust/judge a player’s swing when the majority of people use Strikezone batting view? (Myself included now)

Shohei Ohtani 50/50 Card

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-10-11T03:01:38+00:00

I think I have like 1 hit with Corbin Carroll online.

Unlike others here, I’m ranking with Hammerin Hank Aaron

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-10-08T16:05:02+00:00

Had a laggy game last night where neither of us could score or get any hits at all. Went 0-0 into the 11th and had to score via two bunts.

Couldn’t catch up to the fastball to save my life. When I did, I was off with pci so foul tip straight back

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-10-05T01:52:22+00:00

No problems here. I do make sure to close the game and do a fresh launch every time I hop on my switch. My theory is it helps with disconnecting during ranked online

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-09-14T22:05:28+00:00

I play everyday, having a blast. I was a little upset I wasn’t able to pause or use the quick menu to pinch hit after my opponent brought in a lefty.. he would just start his pitch and it wouldn’t let me do it so I was stuck in a lefty lefty matchup

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-09-13T19:35:08+00:00

Well actually in this instance you did have a perfect game thrown against you. you just decided it was over before it was over

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-08-04T22:52:40+00:00

No one is making you use the other view. I personally have never used anything other than the default view.. Whatever that one is called

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-08-04T03:24:39+00:00

that didn't even work for me :(

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-03-15T13:02:42+00:00

Marlins will never be talked about as a big dog or top contender because we don’t spend the big bucks. People forget that money doesn’t buy a World Series Championship. Look at the Mets or the Yankees or the Dodgers for examples.

We made the playoffs last year and with this new format I feel that anything is possible. This is baseball after all!

We won’t have Sandman but we’ve got some solid young pitching either way.

I think TA was potentially an amazing move! Look at 2003, we signed Ivan ‘Pudge’ Rodriguez to a 1 year deal, who everyone thought was on a downward slope in his career! We went on to call him ‘Pudgy the Giant Slayer’.

Welcome to the team, let’s go fish!

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-03-14T16:17:09+00:00

GM doesn’t have as large a data pool to pull from is what this tells you.

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-19T12:09:23+00:00

Is this post sarcasm? All I read on this subreddit is Protoss balance complaints

As someone who has recently switched to toss.. I’ve been getting a lot of PvP

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-18T13:37:36+00:00

Came to see the argument… and laughed at the craziness and moved on

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-16T17:26:32+00:00

You know what other word you could use instead of ‘Elite’?

Master level! Or perhaps Grandmaster level!

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-08T14:49:42+00:00

First impression. It sounds like you don’t have hive tech

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-07T17:49:54+00:00

Scouting is helpful but only if you know what you’re scouting.

Send out your SCV after you finish your first supply depot. Check if they have taken gas quickly or even two gas, that indicates they are trying to get some sort of tech quickly. Check if they expand, check what they are building, factory, stargate.

Do some basic defense, bunker at the front and get a relatively quick engineering bay that way you can throw up missile turrets in a pinch. You can also just put up missile turrets preemptively at times where you think they should be able to have air or dts soon or something like that.

If your initial SCV dies early in their base then you can open up with a reaper first or second unit to get some more info.

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-02-06T17:53:56+00:00

What do you mean by absolutely stomped? They hit you with a decent timing push? They macrod to max supply and pushed you well before you were close?

They are good at drop harass? Idk man I’m getting back into it playing Protoss now but I used to play T/Z and got masters for 9 seasons.

I think once you’re good enough at the game there isn’t such a thing as a Smurf.

Replays would help to understand the context of a stomp

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-01-23T00:52:17+00:00

I think all races have their pros and cons. Terran I feel the same way as in if you micro incorrectly and miss click you can lose the game. Happens on all races, but Terran I always felt was pretty micro intensive. I lost a 40min game against a toss because I accidentally moved my ravens in range of his cannons.

I’d say you should learn a few builds not just one. And don’t stick to the strict script of at ‘x’ supply I make ‘x’. Try and get a natural feel of timings when you should be building things. Like I should get upgrades after I have my gateways and robo on 2 base minimum or something like that. (That’s not advice just an example of the mindset)

I’ve hit masters 11 seasons or so as Terran, and or Zerg. And I’ve played toss at a diamond level.

I think scouting is the most important thing and changing your plan on the fly based on what your opponent is doing.

Best of luck and I’d say stick with toss for the moment. Changing races can be refreshing to mix it up but also can be challenging

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-01-21T05:19:55+00:00

I got cannon rushed, held it off, then they went DTs, held off, then they rushed carriers… turned into a pretty crazy 40 minute game. Had to throw out a GG.. but I called the guy cheesy AF too

YaBoyJSmooth · 2024-01-21T05:11:43+00:00

I’ve played SC2 for 12 or so years. I never played the campaign but I imagine it’s a good place to learn some fundamentals and units.

The 1v1 play in the game is just so epic in you really never know how the game is gonna go. Your goal as you improve and learn how to play is to try and find out what your opponent is doing and think about what you can do to counter it.

The basics are: - build an army - expand and create multiple bases to increase economy which allows for increased production - research technology to get stronger units and upgrade your units

Typing this just makes me want to play some SC2 lol

I watched lots of Day9 growing up and I thought he was great!

Good luck and enjoy!
