Well It's Matt Kemp guys one of our inning bosses

My guess for the second boss is George Brett.

Could Matt kemp be the “his first 99”
Yeah it's him which means the pitcher won't be Pedro.
To fit the theme of this inning, what pitcher should have been released earlier and will seem kinda meh at this point?

Mantle or Ripken for the 2nd boss? Hints already out on twitter.
I think its George Brett
I'll move Chipper somewhere else to roll with a 99 George Brett (LF perhaps?). His card always hits so well.

Agree - love Brett but problem is they had us thinking this would be an epic set of bosses and so now its a letdown. Nothing against Brett & Kemp but they're not Babe & Mickey....

I agree on this front, too. The pitcher has to be a real good one for me to remember this inning as anything above average.

I disagree, these are epic. Cards no one would have predicted. Something new for us to try out and have fun with. Giving us more variety to play with this year instead of everyone having the exact same legends in their lineup. I love how they mixed it up and that makes it epic.

I agree. If people just want a lineup of Babe, Foxx, Tatis, Chipper, Mantle, Mays, Griffey, and Tatis why not just play a previous version of the game? I know for Xbox players that isn't possible but the people I see complain the most about content drops being disappointing are the ones that have used the same meta lineup for 5 years. I just don't see the fun in that at all

Kemp was the reward for Conquest Extreme. He had a high diamond last year. I dont know about 19, as I never played it, but anyway, it's the same guy, just boosted a little more. How is that diverse? How is having a +5 overall card more fun? I dont get this argument. It seems like some people would be happier playing with a 95-99 boosted Jed Lowrie for some walkoff base hit, than actual real life all time greats. All for the sake of "diversity".

Yes because some of us want.......diversity.

Kemp had a 97 overall prime card last year. This one will be a little bit better. That's it.
-
Which gives us the option to maybe have a new person in our lineup. 97 prime card wasn't good enough to make most peoples final lineup. This one might be. It's nice to have more options to potentially make our team.

There are already like 30+ high rated guys that you can play in the OF right now. It's just that the community decides that the majority isn't usable. People want Manny in the game, and then would say he isnt usable because he isnt fast or good defensively. We asked for Henry Aaron for years, and now no one uses any of his current cards, and may not use his 99 because they dont like his swing.
There isnt a problem with diversity, theres a problem with the what the community deems "usable".
-
If there are not enough cards that are being deemed "usable" than there is a problem with diversity. The more cards deemed as usable only makes the game stronger...not weaker.

You are missing the point. I use that 94 Mickey Mantle in the OF. He crushes lefties, is good enough vs righties. He has speed, is good defensively and has a strong arm. No one else uses him. Why? Because hes not a 99, or they dont like his swing, or they perform better with someone else, etc. Hes completely usable, but not considered by the community. That's a community issue, not a diversity issue.
The content creators and community decide who is "better" and therefore that's who gets used more often. There are plenty of other cards that dont get used that could very easily be in peoples lineups.
-
We are just going to go round and round because I think you are missing the point that the same legends end up in the same lineups every year and to add more cards that can break that lineup is not making the game weaker. When the same lineups end up in 85% of peoples games..then it is a diversity issue. I get that you may be in the 15% that don't use the same cards but that makes your evidence anecdotal. The fact is the majority are using the same cards.
