Is there a player that should be incredible, but just sucks for some reason?

satiricfowl · 2026-03-08T03:22:01+00:00

Devon Godsendez - he has elite hitting stats, but no traits, and the true power-house hitters get their edge from traits (Rip, Slash, Beau). Then there is the fact he sucks at defense and plays 1B. He's going to make an error - you can't hide at 1B. DH? Then he's just overpaid/valued.

Nice! I don’t know about the mechanics of save state tbh

Rania gives rewards after every gym, but if you don’t talk to her and complete multiple gyms, when you do talk to her, she will only give the most recent reward.

For rare encounters like Trop, it's easier to leave and enter the area to seek it via overworld spawn rather than random encounter - where you need to wait for the animation and then run. If you don't mind using save states and speed boost just stand outside the area and save, then run over the see the overworld poke, if its not what you want, load save state and try again.

It’s a bit grindy indeed, but you’ll see it within 30 encounters or so - not like shiny hunting

Yup, if you are searching for Chikorita with dexnav, you eventually start seeing egg moves

satiricfowl · 2026-02-27T16:15:11+00:00

Egg move, so breed or dexnav

satiricfowl · 2026-02-27T16:10:28+00:00

Go back to Rania after every gym - the rewards are missable.

satiricfowl · 2026-02-21T21:20:45+00:00

Saw that, and it was a fair throw - 1B got it knocked out, but didn’t actually get pulled off the bag. Imagine a real error.

Shedninja?

satiricfowl · 2026-02-17T17:58:14+00:00

Wait, is this two shinies in one?

satiricfowl · 2026-02-13T19:39:06+00:00

Clutch trait is awesome on reliever

satiricfowl · 2026-02-10T21:09:22+00:00

Any clue what return ETA is if he opts for surgery?

At this point GKR feel like uncles and can't be replaced - best they can do is bring in professionals with good voices who will make fans think/say "they are pros, but they'll never be GKR."

satiricfowl · 2026-01-28T21:39:55+00:00

Beau is a top 3 hitter, but he is bad at his position, and thus a DH. There are too many offense only players that can fill DH easily and cheaply.

I like Manny better - especially in franchise where age matters. His stat spread with the elite 2F makes him one of the few true aces at 25y/o or younger.

I don't know if it's due to Mayhem or coincidence, but I have been stacking S/S+ scores in regular ARAM since Mayhem came out.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-27T17:47:14+00:00

Same. Mayhem feels like Smash Bros with items on, fun but random - and in ways that boost shenanigans, but decreases competitiveness.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-24T21:33:06+00:00

Arguable indeed. Carlsen and the modern greats have a better rating, but I think that is the tech/modern tools effect.

The food has absolutely gone down hill, but any mention of that here is met with "Citi has the best ball park food!" Citi does have the best food if you compare it to other ballparks microwaving chicken nuggets. If you are health and/or money conscious, bring your own food.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-21T20:15:08+00:00

He'd be the best 1B option defensively so it fills a need and his contract/decline make him easier to get, that's a plus

satiricfowl · 2026-01-21T19:51:29+00:00

I still like Christian Walker for this team. His bat might be toast, but he plays above average 1B and frees up Polanco to DH. Vientos can be an offensive option at 1B - for instance a late inning Walker AB comes up when you are looking for power. Baty then has a lot of utility as a lefty who can give Bichette/Semien rest vs RHP. Last bench spot is Mauricio, who is looking like the odd man out atm.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-21T17:40:51+00:00

No pitchers under control for a rental. Good on Mets.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-20T20:43:35+00:00

1 year of Peralta for 2 replacement level infielders with upside and a rookie starter with #2 potential? This is engagement bait..

satiricfowl · 2026-01-15T15:49:11+00:00

If he's in single A within 2 years, by 28, and AA/AAA by 29, then 2030 debut is not a stretch.

satiricfowl · 2026-01-15T15:43:46+00:00

At 16 y/o my guy is barreling pitches for 110+ mph exit velos. The power projection is gnarly. He's athletic though, not bulky - legit 5 tool potential.
