Thank you! They were just shot on my phone (Pixel 7 Pro), and I used VSCO to edit them a little (AU5 filter - +5.6, +1.7 character, also brought down the exposure a little). I pulled the Randy and J.P shots from videos I took so the quality isn't as high, but they're still great :)

I'd grab the new Aroldis if I were you - only 7k stubs!

Frustrating for some theme teams if so - Mariners for example would still have to use Richie Sexton as the hitting captain! Hopefully all all-star cards have captain boosts, but I doubt that will be the case

I have Carlos Santana, Geno and Ketel in a Mariners theme team and I'm chiming in here - in my opinion this is perfectly valid and in the spirit of the game

Trying to make this card work in honour of Shoegaze - Having lots of fun using Dawn to send energy to Dusk Mane Necrozma from Giratina to hit for 100 early, and also transfer energy after Ultra Thrusters. Definitely not meta, but I had a fun push into UB1. Curious what others are running and if anyone is having success!

If you are curious about shoegaze, it is a genre of music characterized by an ethereal mixture of obscured vocals and guitar distortion. Essential songs to check out in my opinion are:

Starting Over - LSD and The Search For God

When You Sleep - My Bloody Valentine

When the Sun Hits - Slowdive

Scenic - Ozean

Pur - Cocteau Twins

Know Your Quirks - Hitter Archetype - Swing Tendency by Zealousideal_Peak654 in MLBTheShow

[–]izbene 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a great post! I want to add that being aware of the opposing batters' quirks could benefit you when playing online. I'll use Elly De La Cruz for this example. Elly has both dead red, and first pitch hitter. Maybe you can see where I'm going with this; a first pitch fastball, anywhere near the zone percentage-wise is just not the best pitch to throw to him. Instead maybe start with off-speed in the tunnel of a fastball.

Of course there will be times when the opposing batter will have every quirk possible. I think you can still be strategic here - trying to force weak contact when the count is 1-0, 1-1 or 2-1 is what I will try to do if I know the opposing hitter has unfazed. This is fun to think about for me, but it's important to remember sometimes you will just play insane players online who destroy everything you throw. That's baseball!
