It makes sense however, given that twelve hours ago was when the game decided to disable the servers for the purpose of maintenance. In a tweet, MLB stated, "We’ve identified issues in the marketplace and will need to disable the servers for maintenance to fix them. Updates to follow and appreciate your patience!"
Two hours later, it claimed that the servers were back up but players were still encountering issues at a nation-wide scale. Observing a map of the outage reports and the time, despite the influx of reports decreasing, players are still finding issues with the game.
Maintenance has completed and servers are back online. Thank you for your patience. We’re continuing to monitor your feedback and reports submitted to https://t.co/azHInNfY2x
