Eh I refuse to pronounce Boise correctly and I've lived here like 4 years now. Locals hate it but I gotta stick to my north Idaho roots where it's pronounced Boi-ze. Supposed to be boi-see.

I've been playing more of the show since I'm laid up after surgery. How do you guys deal with the lovely loving field and baserunning controls? They're so laggy that it takes the player like 2 seconds to respond to the stick and if I let go the moment he starts moving he ends up overrunning every drat time. I have so many outs from overrunning bags and so many errors from him just not running to the ball or overrunning it.

What's up North Dakota brother Dumb Idaho story: I was at a car dealership in Sacramento and the salesman found out I was from North Dakota so I got the full "people like us" racist treatment and a long winded story about how he wants to move to Idaho to escape the Communists in California. He claimed to be an ex navy seal. Dr. Fraiser Chain fucked around with this message at 08:24 on Apr 23, 2018 |

Inspector_666 posted:I feel like single-digit interstates actually sound weird without "The", and I'm a New Yorker. Born in St Louis and living in LA for many years, I only say “the” in front of California freeways. I would never say “The 70” or “the 55”. I don’t call 170 “the interbelt”, though. I’m not my parents. Also Dodger Stadium: sometimes it’s no problem to get into, and other times it might as well be in a Orange County. I went to a Cardinals/Dodgers playoff game a few years ago, I left an hour before game time, and I lived in Los Feliz, literally just 4 miles down the street. We didn’t get through the parking gate until the national anthem started, and were subsequently sent in circles around the stadium because every section was full. But we had paid for parking, already, so we kept circling, and no one knew where the open spots were because they weren’t in communication. Halfway through the second inning and we finally got directed to some weird hidden spots behind a fence at the edge of the lot. So what I’m saying is that it was a typical LA commute.

I like how Trout decided to improve his defense in the off-season and now he's already put up 0.6 dWAR. As if he already wasn't the most dangerous man in baseball.

It sounds like your playing Road to the show wtih those controls, it just takes time getting a feel for how it plays in the field. Also don't hold up on the stick all the way to the bag, you won't stop running unless you pull the stick back

I have so many outs from overrunning bags and so many errors from him just not running to the ball or overrunning it. I switched my fielding controls to buttons instead of analog, it's a lot easier that way. Base running is always kind of wonky but just remember you don't need to hold the stick, it's just a simple flick.

LaMahieu is perfectly within his right to attempt to steal signs and Baez is perfectly within his right to stand in front of LaMahieu to block his view. LaMahieu flat-out admitting he was stealing signs was pretty unexpected, though.
