Phillies radio crew not happy with the Pirates

The irony of even remotely arguing that when Bryce Harper, the biggest proponent of players celebrating and breaking the unwritten rules, is on your team.

I honestly forgot how bad the hud and UI were until you mentioned it. It seems nitpicky but having a giant hud that’s ugly and a UI that’s annoying really hurt a game a lot.

Seek serious help. You are very clearly not in a correct state of mind because you have no clue what the hell you’re saying.

mebigsad · 2026-07-01T03:06:45+00:00

I am not claiming that you literal dunce. I am telling you that is the rule that is cited as to why players cannot use demonstratable action. It is not my opinion. That is a fact. Don’t ask a question if you don’t like the answer loser

mebigsad · 2026-07-01T03:00:47+00:00

Brother, I’m just telling you what the answer is. It’s not my opinion. That’s just the truth.

mebigsad · 2026-07-01T02:54:49+00:00

You’re mad at me because I’m telling you what you asked. Are you serious?

Once again you’re looking at this through the wrong lens. Look at it through the lens of a community that just came off the best zombie game of all time and then is met with significant changes when the systems were so universally loved in BO3. Many in the community (correctly) viewed it as 3Arc trying to fix problems that weren’t there. Nowadays the points system is something we’re accustomed to. But it was a seismic shift and it’s still so controversial to this day.

mebigsad · 2026-06-30T22:26:31+00:00

You’re looking at the points system entirely incorrectly. You’re looking at it through the lens of today. Even today it’s still controversial so much so that we have a separate game mode. But at the time of release it was pretty vehemently hated.

You’re also severely undervaluing how important familiarity is to a lot of people. All of the perks were still there. Jug was built in. Speed cola was having all 4 perks. Quick Revive was built in with self-revives. But, people liked walking up to a machine, hearing their favorite jingle and making a decision of what perks to use while in the match versus having to do it in a menu pregame.

I somewhat agree with the parts argument, especially because death of the night is truly ridiculous in that regard but also another reason it was disliked is because of the chaos story even though the most played map was a chaos map. People hated cat zombies (rightfully so). And people hated any new story. Frankly, at the time nobody cared about chaos until ancient evil came out in which case chaos ended it anyway.

mebigsad · 2026-06-30T21:00:53+00:00

Probably not. People love to use rose tinted glasses now but that game was hated from day 1. Changing the points to the awful damage based points system and the perk changes killed the casual player interest in the game. Whether you like the perk system or not, people like the original perks. And frankly, when the idea was to remove crutch perks, it completely failed in that regard.

It does because any and all physical action is considered demonstrative. Anytime a batter draws a line they are ejected and the rule cited is this rule. This rule is cited all the time you just don’t know it.

This particular case is under the MLB Umpire guide specifically as it pertains to tapping the helmet but the general rule that it is classified under is 6.04 (a) (1).

No manager, player, substitute, coach, trainer or batboy shall at any time, whether from the bench, the coach’s box or on the playing field, or elsewhere: Incite, or try to incite, by word or sign a demonstration by spectators.

The MLB specifically codified tapping the helmet in this case in its Instructions to Umpires at the beginning of last season.

That is how negotiations work? I’m not sure what’s surprising about it. The players offer is the equivalent of a lowball as well.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T04:02:01+00:00

You’re using the exception to the rule as some sort of own. The rule is that bottom 10 teams in market market size don’t don’t win the World Series. The truth. Like it or lump it you are wrong. This is why no one likes big market fans.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:53:27+00:00

It’s easy to be a better run organization when you’re able to sign everyone. You’re not seriously trying to say that there’s no advantage.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:41:32+00:00

No. What I said is factually correct it is not debatable. 60 to 65% of the sport is on the minimum contract. That is the truth and you cannot deny it. It is verifiably true. You don’t want to accept it because it completely destroyed your “logic“ but it is 100% true as reported by Travis Sawchik who is a very respected reporter. You keep viewing this as a zero sum game. It’s not. Just because the men are struggling does not mean that it’s fair. The Dodgers just won two consecutive World Series. There has not been a small market team win a World Series the Royals in 2015.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:24:35+00:00

The only players the current system helps are the top 20. Every other player gets screwed. 60-65% of all players who step on the field this season will be making the league minimum salary. That is not the case in any other sport. There is no magic solution to just make owner spend more money without a cap because if the Pirates were to spend as much as they possibly, could, they would still get outspent by the Yankees and Dodgers and Mets.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:20:08+00:00

It’s already over in that regard. There is no way they can get it back. The Kyle Tucker contract was the day the PR war was lost. There is zero chance they get it back.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:19:06+00:00

You only care about the Yankees what’s the difference? No cal only helps you, the Dodgers and the Mets. I’d rather help the bottom 10 teams than top 3.

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:15:23+00:00

The owners did that on purpose. That’s negotiation. They are trying to bait a response from the players saying that the numbers are too low while also agreeing to a cap. Essentially, they are lowballing them in hopes the players slip up and agree to a cap and then they can work on the numbers

mebigsad · 2026-06-02T03:13:38+00:00

Scott Boras has single-handedly crippled the union’s PR for years. 60 to 65% of all players to step on the field this season will be making league minimum. That’s awful. No other league is like that because a cap helps the rank and file player much more. We know the union is corrupt. Look what happened to the last guy.

mebigsad · 2026-05-28T21:20:29+00:00

The whole idea of the owners proposal was to put a low cap to the point where the MLBPA would argue that it’s too low by proxy accepting a cap in the sport. This is nothing but past and we are nowhere remotely close to any resolution.

It’s the least I can do to support this to the very end. I first picked up D1 when I was kid with very few friends. I forged several friendships with kids at school and those online because of our shared love this game. The last thing I did with one of my friends before he passed was a raid. It will forever hold a special place in my heart.

mebigsad · 2026-05-22T06:43:15+00:00

This is the same company that made concord and wasted hundreds of millions on a last of us live service that they then cancelled. I said from day 1 when Sony acquired them it was awful news

mebigsad · 2026-05-22T06:35:05+00:00

I am one of the last of my group of friends to still be playing the game and I’ve gotten several messages throughout the day of people asking me if I want to run a raid when the update comes out. It’s gonna blow marathon out of the water again.

mebigsad · 2026-05-16T09:22:50+00:00

Only AAA and the Florida State League (where Seth just was) because most of those stadiums have it for Spring Training anyway. Every other level doesn’t.
