Forum rules


Posting:

* Individual players should be in their own thread, with the full name of the player and position(s) in the title. Don't add superlatives or any other shout outs to it... we will see your guys...
* If you post a team or a set of players, add players by editing your starting post so they're all in the same post. A bump to announce the edit is appropriate.
* Posting images are fine, provided they are small in dimension and data. 800x600 and ~50Kb should be the biggest you can post inline (using the [IMG] tag), anything larger, post a link or a clickable thumbnail instead.
* If you have wiki rights, add your player(s) and team(s) there as well!

you get the money back by selling the GR at the end for 750, plus reloading for a GR from a SB is hell

not really.. I found that if I load the game and quickly go to my items and load the surprise bag, I get gambler's ring easily.. you should try it.

I S/R for 5 SoP with 5 SB. I probably S/R 100 times and did not see Gambler's Ring once.

All right, I'm gonna try and make a better gyroballer now.
Higher speed, higher control, one less pitch.
I'm still going to get an original pitch, because that arc has other rewards. Also, I'm going to pick Slow Curve, more than likely, because with a gyroballer, it's perfect.
any pointers?
What'd I do wrong with Fernandez Hernandez?

how does a fork w/ rise break?
i don't have time to S/L.
I lost both games vs. Gil, otherwise he would be a lot better.

Haha, I can see it now. Any argument I have for my guy being the best will soon disapear. That is, if your players are anything like last years. By the way, would you be willing to help me make a hall-of-fame team? Some players like Babe Ruth couldn't be done without a genious an an incredible player.
