A question that I have is when MLB The Show 19 Stubs implements the universal DH this year, does this mean we'll be able to use it in DD this calendar year, or at all? Additionally, I truly hope they do something about the pause thing. Its annoying when someone pauses for 30 seconds after every batter and they even get more pause time as MLB The Show 19 goes on.

most likely it won't happen because Manfred (the commissioner) is focused on the pitch clock and likely won't think about it for a couple of years.the players filed that as a counter offer to the commissioner because of the commissioners request in having the pitchers face a 3 batter minimum. It has an excellent chance of happening this year. Each of the commissioner wants to is accelerate MLB The Show 19 so if the players concede in anything that relates to pitching he's open to it.

I thought the foundation running/ tagging difficulty that they dealt in 17 to 18 was still a significant issue. Hopefully the even more"improved" tagging and gunning energetic will satisfy what I believe was missing. Aside from that I think Diamond Dynasty took a step back in 18 so I am trusting  The show 19 stubs is back to some more goal driven accomplishment instead of the purchase and exchange system which was in place.You looks like they stated contact will matter!

Finally as a padres fan now we could utilize Gwynn without fretting about squaring the ball up and it merely being a pop up because they do not possess power.If I square it up with contact one over the shortstop is fine that's what they hit.
