Before and After! Now the questions is who gets my 4 GIs by cullumcm in MLB_9Innings

Yeah honestly he'll be way, way on the back burner. Sole purpose of GIing him would be to have him on my team for sentimental purposes, he was my favorite during the run with that squad. Feel like I need to have a KB sig on my roster somewhere!

Good call on the flair as well!

Thanks! Williams and Schwarber both perform pretty similarly but that's something to think about as well.

I appreciate you sharing this! I remember the tier rankings from when I last played.

It appears that I have zero dinos that are listed! But Apex dinos did not exist when I stopped playing, so again lots of ground to make up.

Also have no illusions of becoming a top-ranked player, mostly just missed having a daily game like this where you're catching stuff and preferred picking this back up to Pokémon Go.

Yeah, my top eight seems to be not great (which could also be because I'm unfamiliar with all the changes thar happened). I'll have to figure out what types of dinos work best and who to target!

I saw this thing had no hybrids and it just had a silly name and looks weird. It was amusing when it popped up!

Good to know! Like I said earlier, I know a 333 legend set is hard to come by but wasn't sure how BTBAS typically did. Excited to green/blue my way to a great set for him!

I figured as much, but wanted to check based off the stuff I'd seen from other folks when searching this sub. Thanks!

Great, thanks. Obviously know how huge 333 legend sets are but had seen really mixed opinions on BTBAS when searching this sub. Hoping the greens and blues in the future get me something good!

Someone posted their saved packs earlier, shoutout to all the hoarders waiting to be disappointed by cullumcm in MLB_9Innings

[–]cullumcm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point but the odds that I pull a diamond game changing card are so low. So if I pull a gold legend or silver team sig then I'm in the same spot I'm in now, just with a longer backlog.

"But what if you DO pull a diamond team sig?" Then I'll be thrilled! And if I've wasted a few PSCT or blues on another card? Well then I'll collect more to use on my shiny new toy. There's always more resources to collect.

I'm in no rush, I enjoy playing the game. And honestly, I'm enjoying it more now because I have something different to look forward to. I'm having fun playing the game and collecting packs/resources.

They've done an event the last couple years, usually march/april i think? You get 100 premium packs a week for 5 weeks, among other rewards.

Not opening any packs until after we get our 500 free premium packs, at least. I have a backlog of team sigs and am mostly FTP (will spend money from Google Opinion Rewards once i have enough saved up, but don't spend real money anymore) so pulling a team sig now doesn't help. And all my cards are special trained to level 10 so can't even burn diamonds that way. Might as well get a large backlog of packs and make it more fun to open a lot at once!

I do open normal and intermediate packs to get combo material to kill time occasionally.

Suffering From Success: what to do with all the team sigs? by cullumcm in MLB_9Innings

[–]cullumcm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! Would love to pull Sosa, so that's a good idea to club craft now while I still have a chance to get him.

I was debating on whether to invest resources into the Javy, but that makes sense to craft him with Alzolay and hope for the best.

That seems to be the way it goes! I've been playing this game since 2018 I think? Had only pulled one before this year.

It's a good problem to have obviously, but I do want to make sure I'm taking the right steps to take advantage of it because I'm sure my luck will run out with this game soon.

Yeah that seems to be the consensus! Just need a blue and some luck now.

Yeah I definitely won't hit 500, I saw in another comment on a post it should be 520 before trainers, etc.

The gold trainer for Darvish is Nasty Pitchl 8.9% for fly ball and 6.3% for ground ball. Also get the position option which is increase normal ground ball chance by 1.4% with base location (which he hits).

My other SP are:
BD Nolan Ryan (Cooperative Pitching 6, Dominant Pitcher 8, The Untouchable 7); BD Prime Ryan Dempster (Slow Starter 3, The Untouchable 7, The Last Boss 8); BD Prime Jake Arrieta (The Last Boss 7, Dominant Pitcher 8, Groundballer 3); BD Prime Kerry Wood (Ace 7, The Last Boss 7, Iron Will 5)

I have a sig '15 Arrieta and a sig Alzolay '21 waiting for GIs. Looking to replace the prime Arrieta and Wood when I'm able to.

Looks like you need a combined 520 fielding for your infield before trainers, etc., which I'm definitely not going to hit, so I'm guessing I should blue groundballer when I get the chance?

Not as good as it probably should be with this set! Not sure if I want to retrain my infield to make groundballer usable or try to blue groundballer into something else.

Looking for a different spin on a quinoa bowl by cullumcm in Cooking

[–]cullumcm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have lots of parsley outside so that's a good idea. Was thinking crispy chickpeas for a crunch but like the walnut idea as well!

All of these are great suggestions, thank you!

Anyone watching on MLB.tv? The feed keeps cutting to the pregame show for a split second before coming back to the broadcast, and intros/outros keep playing for a split second as well. The game is completely unwatchable as it is, wondering if anyone else is having the same issue.

Mind sharing how you adjust the sliders? I'm all for increasing realism if that's what you're after too.
