  • Not sure what it says about me, but the only thing I can see in that picture is that you took his skills all the way out through LXP, but then wouldn’t cough up some EVO to go one more. 😂
  • Nope. They still hit soft little flares over shortstop when batting from the right side. 
  • Bichette has more power and has done really well for me against Chapman. Engel is the better hitter, though. With both skills active, Bichette's max hit rating is (I think) 444. Engel's will be more like 462. I would prefer Engel, I think, but the way Bichette has handled Chapman, the need may or may not be there.
  • Thanks - I guess just needed someone to talk me out of Ramirez. I'd been hoping for a switch hitting 3B for so long that I was feeling tempted, even though I know what the smart thing to do is.
  • I haven’t played daily dinger since about the third day it was out (saving tickets hoping they make a box the reward again). So I haven’t completed a single daily challenge in that time, yet I keep getting comped the weekly box - I rather like the “flaws” in the current system. 
  • If you’re going to open more than a couple of boxes, you’ll often come out ahead on xp if you level them to S10. The S10 -> G1 repull is worth around 5k. Add that to the fact that you get more xp when you trade him in, and it often nets you more xp to level someone to S10 right away. Even if you don’t pull him again, that…
  • I haven't checked it in a while, but that is when I was getting less than I should have, as well. I was also getting slightly more than the stated amount when pulling a player that was already capped.
  • Obviously, it depends on your goals, but I'll assume you want someone that will put up a reasonable number of points while not serving as a black hole in your lineup. In that case, I think it varies by event. At gold, I expect a B10 player would do fine in prime games (though you might not want a lineup full of them). For…
  • That foil Didi is maybe the most useful pull I've had all year. He's been passed by keeper bumps and a couple of other players, but he's still a very good WoH weapon (he's generally my 3rd to last lefty right now). He's also still my day-to-day starting shortstop, given the double vRHP skills and the dearth of left handed…
  • Yeah, that's a shame. I would have really wanted him if that skill had been 1st pitch. There's nobody else in that box that I feel compelled to go after.
  • Thanks. I was planning to open some tourney boxes today, but I would kick myself if I did that this weekend, only to see primes in those boxes next week.
  • Do prime players eventually make their way into tourney boxes? If so, I'm assuming that won't be for a little while, at least.
  • The lesser tourney box player is also 5*! That'll be really nice for any diamond team that's opening a bunch of tourney boxes this weekend.
  • Yes, and I would still love to understand the connection. I find that fascinating. 
  • Exactly what happened to me. I feel like glu should be pissed about that - I assume because the ad isn't registering, glu isn't getting paid for it. The'll get paid for that 5th ad, I guess, but if I were them, I would be mad that my customers were watching ads and I wasn't getting paid. 
  • Do you go heavy on the lefty hitters, given that most decent pitchers are RH right now? Any other tourney-specific strategies?
  • You can just take his B1 stats and multiply by 2.14. It might be off by a point or two here or there, but it's close enough to compare. He would be approximately: Overall - 199 Hit - 216 Power - 188
  • Thanks. I don’t know exactly what I spent when. I definitely spent a good amount both before and after the 2.5 hour cutoff. I’ll have to take them at their word on the timing of my purchases. 
  • Yes, I understand that. I wondering if anyone that spent during that time hasn’t received compensation. 
  • Anybody else that spent gold on that box yesterday not receive a refund yet? Curious if I’ve been left out or if they just haven’t gotten to me yet. 
  • I heard back from CS. They said it’s working, but that it doesn’t matter if the ball passes over the zone - it’s where it lands. So if you hit a long home run that passes over the center of the zone, there’s a pretty Good chance that it curves out. Probably why you noticed one slightly to the left of the zone get counted.…
  • Me, too.
  • Mine actually seem quicker. Both the loading of the video and the return to play after.
  • I paid attention to this yesterday for the first time, and I was getting what I should have on most repulls. I seemed to be getting less than the stated amount when a player was being upgraded to a new level (i.e. gold -> plat). The only player I repulled after he was already capped was a 4* player (capped at plat), and in…
  • Ok, now I’m curious. What dependency do primes have on actual baseball being played?
  • Can you tell if the tickets expire at the end of the event or if they carry over?
  • Gotcha. I've currently got a roster full of 335-350 players. So if it plays out like last year, it sounds like I've nearly reached the end of the line in terms of adding bxp players as roster upgrades? Roster improvement would come from prime/legend players and the bxp would mostly be to add bonus players for events?
  • Thanks - that's great to know. Not nearly the gap between bxp and prime players that I was expecting.
  • Didi is amazing. I only went thru it once today, and I used Cruz against Clevenger. My timing was off, and I blew it. After a video restart, Cruz hit 6 home runs to win it. He and Didi are both unbelievable. It’s probably either coincidence or selective memory, but Cruz is the only guy I have that seems to occasionally do…
