Pretzel Pezzullo
I got a Pretzel. I got a Pretzel in a pack yesterday. Pretzel Pezzullo...
I learnt a bit about his history, and the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs baseball club. Tied in with the Philly A's, Pitt Pirates, Ralph Kiner... Pretzel showed up, asked for a spot on the club, I said, "Yeah, sure, Pretzel"

Just had my biggest game ever for PP...
Won 44-6 in a Perfect League game with my only GOLD players team. 3 different players had the 3000K crossing the plate reward a 3000K reward for the pounding and 2000 for a hot bat with some other randoms. Hugh Duffy was 6 for 6 with 4 BB... Got on base all 10 times and scored 8 runs. Damn. Last edited by webdox; 08-21-2019 at 07:31 AM. |

Nice, I was wondering why a few people commented as if the only options in perfect were all perfects or an All-Iron theme team. Many of the players 60+, especially 75+ are fun options and great at what they're great at.

That happened to me once when I used the 7 day lineups to manage substitutions around the all-star break but forgot to turn it off afterwards. The next day I saw some weird pitching stats while poking around and noticed I had a starter set to go three days in a row with the force start option lol. |

Yeah, probably, I did see a legit 34-1 win (or very close to that), though...of course the 34 was by an outstanding team. In fact position players had to finish the game but more runs were scored per inning off of the actual pitchers.

Yesterday Pretzel Pezzullo got some playing time.
In a 40 vs. 100 match-up, Pretzel struck out Ty Cobb. On the other hand he did not make it out of that inning and was charged with 4 earned runs.

Ty Cobb was quoted after the game as saying "That Pretzel is making me thirsty! And now I'm so mad I'm going to go and beat up a double amputee!"

I have a home plate cam set up for home games, right behind the catcher. Pretzel threw him a great curve down (his best pitch) & in, curving down and in with 2 strikes, Cobb swung right over it.

Many of these Golds are light years better than Diamond players that cost more but produce less. Now the challenge is to see if I can come up with an all Silver Team that can reach the Top Level! |

A small ball small things & ratings victory
Today's highlight was Nicky Lopez (54 OVR) involved in producing the only 2 runs in a 2-0 game between Cy Young 100 & Bob Gibson 100. Lots of offensive stars on both sides but simply nothing doing the way they pitched. Hit a deep fly ball to left in the 5th to get runner on 3rd home, and laid down a squeeze bunt a few innings later to get runner on 3rd home. No, that's backwards, the bunt came first, I think...anyway, only 2 RBI in the game, 2 Lopez sacrifice hits.

Ugh. The AH load was lagging and I accidentally bid on a Vlad Guerrero Jr. instead of Sr.

opened 10 normal packs yesterday, everything was iron/bronze until the last pack
Slotted straight into my lineup for the post ASG games, replacing Soroka who after 4 seasons and a POTY award has finally been knocked out of the rotation, done well so far, with his best outing being this one

Still haven't got that first pack perfect, maybe in a diamond pack I plan on buying at least 1 before Monday. Apparently the diamond packs didn't last all week like I thought they were going to...

Catching up on yesterday's results of my White Sox theme team, Suburban Sox, and saw these. Never have I been more pleased by being no-hit, especially since it contributed to a Pitcher of the Month Award; certainly bittersweet.

Probably a good thing, check the blue jays mission if you haven't completed it and really want one, can probably be done for <20k.

That's unfortunate but he's not a bad player, neither.

This is the 2nd time I'd mentioned the absence of a perfect in my packs. This time, the very first card from my next pack surprisingly had a black and gold back. Ended up being Jacob deGrom. So it hasn't definitively made its mind up about being a 100. But it is the deGrominator. But I did already buy in via the AH. But this card is different.
