I've been rolling with an old Orlando Cabrera (520 max) with skills at 20/20 as my WOH closer against lefties. He's probably had a 50-60% success rate against the The Babe. Is Jack Clark worth the chase as a potential replacement? He appears to be at the top of the curve right now in terms of hit rating and his power is solid. I'm tentatively in the camp of believing that the ROB skill turns on after the first hit and since its impossible to hit an HR off off The Babe, it would remain on unless it goes to extra innings. A D10 Hornsby should be a great comp - can anyone who closed with him on Monday share how he did?

That also means they are about to jack up the closer at 6.10 above any level they will currently offer, so even if you get your closer to 20/20, he will likely be useless within a week or two if you are not diamond.
Hornsby may be the best option going forward on Babe....

Long story short- you're exaggerating the game sucking off diamond players and disregarding the time and/or money and/or strategy put in.
Thereareplenty of diamond teams that have spent well over $10k and can't/don't even know how to cycle WOH. They just get bonus players and slow play for points, never imagining they could actually be cycling. There are also diamond teams that don't cycle woh because they don't want to, and have a team built for other modes.
Agreed, I still get through 3-4 times a week despite that. I'm just being honest about the situation with new players. If you feel I am wrong, we can agree to disagree. I'm just relaying the pattern I've seen, that's all.
For example, Gibson was the closer forever, they release BSD Brett, we all killed it for a week or two, then they jacked up Gibson to where BSD Brett wasn't as consistent. I see no harm in pointing this out.
Just as there is no harm in pointing out Diamond players are still cycling with 520 or 530 guys. The advantage is there, as it should be for them.
Not complaining, just pointing it out. Also pointing out an ATG may likely be the answer if the guy has him. One of Hornsby's skills is LHP. For a while, Matthews was a solid closer for folks below diamond and he had the same skill set vs Righty closers. But with Hornsby, he will also increase in level as the newer players come out.

he seems to be a 159k team strength only. Be comparison, I am a 190k gold team and I have 5 hitters at 20/20 and 2 at 16/16.
I guess some screen shots could help 🤷♂️

LOL. You literally just echoed what I said above. That's what you just ripped me for saying too.
Jeezum.
And on top of that, you have a Diamond player that started this thread stating he still has great success with a 520 true closer.
I followed the thread, made the same reply you just did, and you gave me crap for that.
Understand I have no ill will toward you, I just find that funny.
I point this out, and also try to provide a solution for the group. But nope, Doc's bitching. This is amusing more than anything.

Yeah I've provided those plenty in the past. I'm working on leveling up more ATGs and 560s now. That process is going much slower because I cut my play time with this game by 90+% over the past few weeks. I also quit farming gold regularly too, so it will take longer. Don't care.
I stated in the last WoH thread I was trying different guys and not all were at 20/20 yet. All I was doing was trying to help the group when it was clear they cranked up Babe again.
No point in taking screenshots of 510/520/540 guys that are G10 20/20 now. They are all solid 6.1-6.7 simmers.

for the TLDR crowd:
@dkarski87 agrees with me that @drsmartassphd just may suck at this game - DM some stickers
@lovingcurves really wants those s/s of @drsmartassphd 's team
everyone wants @drsmartassphd to stop bitching about diamond cause he has no idea
just a regular thursday morning on the forums
Just to muddy the waters...Baylor (510) at 20/20 was 11/12 this past week and 12/13 at 6.10 3 weeks ago. I used 530 Bregman week before last at 16/16 who went 4/4 and then 3/9. Difference being? You guessed it; capped vs uncapped skills. That is what I hang my hat on for past experience. Next bump Baylor probably has an issue but I will still try with him.
1) Not close
2) Yes and will later
3) Not what Doc said about Diamond either. Not even close.
