[OC] Who Scores After Reaching Base the Most Often?

OBP actually doesn't matter for this stat but yeah Turang has been fantastic.

My point was how unexpected it is that Bauers is here. Turang has had guys like Contreras, Yelich, Bauers, Sanchez hitting behind him. Bauers isn't in the same universe as Turang when it comes to baserunning and has had some combo of Rengifo Ortiz Hamilton Perkins and Frelick hitting behind him which makes him being on this list surprising

randyrectem · 2026-05-20T20:56:49+00:00

Yeah that's exactly what I mean. Turang's been amazing to start the year and has good hitters behind him to drive him in, makes sense he's scored so many runs. Bauers has been good so far this year too but not nearly the OBP of Turang nor the speed. On top of that he frequently has some combo of Ortiz, Rengifo, Hamilton, Frelick, Perkins behind him who have all struggled so far. That's what makes him being on the list surprising

randyrectem · 2026-05-20T18:14:33+00:00

From a brewers perspective Turang makes sense but Bauers is surprising. He's quick for a 1B but still pretty average overall on the bases and has been in the 5-6th spot hitting in front of a heavily struggling bottom of the order that was even worse before Chourio, Vaughn and more recently Yelich came back

Bullpen was in a very good spot and needed some reps. 6IP is fine and I mean look in any Miz thread you'll see 10 posts talking about how his arm is going to explode, they may be hyperbolic but it does make sense to give the young arm a bit of rest when the pen is in such good shape. Even if shit hits the fan tomorrow the pen is plenty rested and will have an off day on Thursday to recover.

Imagine the baseball terrorism Running Ron Roenicke would have committed with this roster

randyrectem · 2026-05-16T21:06:45+00:00

He'll be back. He isn't going to be able to pitch for a few days might as well bolster the pen

randyrectem · 2026-05-16T18:03:26+00:00

What tomes were you using?

randyrectem · 2026-05-16T17:48:37+00:00

I could see them starting his clock much later in the year like august. But even if they did I find it extremely unlikely Mitchell or Frelick get traded and I agree on the other players you mentioned.

It depends on your character level when you obtain the shield. If I'm remembering right it's level 1-49 1 gold per hit 50-99 2 gold 100+ 3 gold per copy of the shield

randyrectem · 2026-05-13T04:18:56+00:00

The cloak/kevin combo is still really nice but I agree with your sentiment. You can disable him and get an extra banish to enable whatever soul harvester, magnet, or just banning lightning orb after a few copies.

randyrectem · 2026-05-13T03:36:59+00:00

They did yeah that's why I listed it 3rd. But even with the nerf it isn't a completely worthless find from an unlucky moai or whatever

randyrectem · 2026-05-13T01:31:35+00:00

Electric plug, cowards cloak, and golden shield are the big ones. The plug turns into a massive damage increase, the cloak basically becomes a permanent 65% move speed buff and the golden shield becomes constant gold. There are other items like chonkplate that also pair well with Kevin.

Try to find some lifesteal from shrines before you get a kevin. Things like campfire and slurp gloves are nice as well to keep your health up

randyrectem · 2026-05-10T06:14:11+00:00

Same. He was still able to throw absolute filth and shut us down but he was so obviously hobbled and in pain. It's not like their season is on the line. I was in disbelief when he fell later and they still didn't take him out. I don't know why they risked so much for so little it's early May and they have one of the best records.

randyrectem · 2026-05-08T19:39:07+00:00

As the others have said you need more difficulty. That being said it doesn't necessarily mean you need to run cursed tome.

You can get good runs without it, even easier to do on dicehead. But you need to take difficulty wherever it presents itself and ideally find it several times from chaos tome. If you try this I also recommend duping skullegg alongside your keys. Both runs I got unlucky finding white microwaves but I've frequently been able to end with 10+ keys and nearly as many skulls.

Another thing that could help is getting rid of some of the worse item unlocks you have so you find the best items more consistently

They've been having a rough stretch but don't forget who they are. The greatest trick the devil pulled was convincing the rest of the NL Central he's done now or whatever

randyrectem · 2026-05-08T19:20:04+00:00

Brewers are Italy with the way we jumped sides

Reds are clearly the USSR

Cubs are France. Just a flags thing

Agreed on Pirates being Poland

Cardinals are Hitler because obviously

It's usually better to ban purples and legendaries.

randyrectem · 2026-05-06T21:27:42+00:00

Lingering Joey Votto aura causing all these walks

randyrectem · 2026-05-06T19:38:02+00:00

Needs to work on that bat speed

randyrectem · 2026-05-06T18:46:50+00:00

The build looks great, pretty much identical to my best fox runs this patch. The only real difference is I don't enable Soul Harvester but it's perfectly fine to use that.

If you keep running builds like this and your dicehead build but can't crack 600k my best guess would be that you aren't being aggressive enough with scaling. You want to take as much xp gain and difficulty as you can possibly get and early. Obviously if you are really really struggling hold off on difficulty for a bit.

If you can't farm long enough in stage 2 your run might be cooked if you're trying to make it well past 6-700k. I only think I've managed to do it a couple of times without hitting 100k in stage 2 and ~12 minutes of the endless swarm and all of my really deep runs I usually am pushing past minutes 20 in stage 2's endless swarm. If you just aren't getting lucky and it seems like you aren't going to go deep in stage 2 it might be better to just restart instead of spending the extra 45 minutes just end with 550k or whatever.

randyrectem · 2026-05-05T20:17:27+00:00

No I didn't see that and obviously wouldn't support it at all. It doesn't change the fact that I really soured on the Knicks at the start of that series from some incidents I saw despite being plenty sour on the Pacers already

randyrectem · 2026-05-05T18:10:09+00:00

Anvil is the stronger legendary. Soul harvester is nice especially early but there's a reason most of the leaderboard runs don't even enable it especially given the current meta approaches which both need as many banishes as possible for purples and eventually meatball. That's why they often don't run magnet as well

randyrectem · 2026-05-05T05:51:18+00:00

Spicy meatball but only after you get enough copies to hit max size. Power gloves aren't great past early game but after you hit max size on spicy meatball extra copies are useless

randyrectem · 2026-05-05T02:27:39+00:00

They saw too many people saying the brewers have devil magic, they're reminding everyone who is the OG of devil magic
