    one thing I have noticed is that sliders in the lower half of the strike zone that are thrown for strikes will leave the yard if you put any kind of decent swing on them.
    I hit one out of Truist Park yesterday with Castellanos (vs a RHP so not even juiced stats) on a low and away slider that was barely in the strike zone on a Late swing that was roughly as late as that Devers video above is early. If you hit a slider with good PCI placement and the word "Very" isn't in the timing = it's probably gone

    Don't care too much about Yordon just bc I haven't been able to hit with him in 2 years. But I'm definitely in it for the 96 Sale and 95 Brian Roberts. FOTF Roberts was my April MVP

    Thank you. I thought maybe I was missing some added collection and was searching for it. I really liked his Breakout.

    How’s everyone coming along on the program?

    I am just under 400K XP.

    Less than 100 PXP with Sale and like 20 PXP with Reynolds from getting Yordan.

    Today is Padres City Connect, new conquest and showdown plus first set of July Topps Now

    Also with mini seasons goals resetting Wednesday, I played and won a game on legend for that reward. Did not expect it to be done on the first try. PCI was tiny

    If you can combine it with 15 HRs by monthlies at the same time for 5 packs you’re really cooking

    In the new mini season (single player mode) goals that released Wednesday, there is one where if you score 10 runs in a game that you get Headliner set 10 choice pack.

    So what someone could do is keep starting a new mini season until they play a bad team at home to start. Play 1 game at blank canvas field, score 10 runs and get said pack. Repeat.

    Nephew picked the right night to message me on ps app asking "why does this game hate me?" with a video of a teal pull of a 90 overall FOTF card. I'd had enough to drink that I woke my wife's sister up to get her pp and sent her cash for him tk finish they've live series. Wife botched that they could better use the money but idc I like being the cool uncle. He just got Trout, Frank, and Randy. His dad is a complete pos and isn't in his life at all so I try to fill that void to the extent that I can. He's a Braves fan and never been tk a game so going to fix that in the fall when it cools down. I love that this game let's me and him keep in touch way more than we would otherwise.

    Haven’t been able to play in what seems like forever. Probably 2-3 hours total over the past couple of weeks. Dealing with the wildest quarter-end of work I have experienced.

    Back on now, hoping to grab a couple dudes from this program and finally get to mostly RS games for awhile.

    Can skip event honestly if you don’t feel like playing it.

    Get the free pack in store, do conquest and that’s 2 free. Also one in showdown but I hated it so I just bought the other 2 because the event is aids

    I had issues with the menus being slow all weekend and today. Have gotten error messages about not being able to connect to opponent even playing mini season vs cpu.

    Been getting in on 2nd try though so it’s not like you can’t play. Just annoying

    I have done well holding strong on my packs. I think I can finish the featured program tomorrow and the new conquest to have a massive pack opening.

    Here’s what I’m currently sitting on.

    Real potential to add whatever is in conquest, another Headliner set 26 pack, Headliner set 10 choice, 45 show packs, and 11 Ballin
