Worst of all-time??

With how bad the bosses are for the 7th inning it has me asking is the 7th innings the worst 7th inning of all-time for DD? Usually the 7, 8 and 9th inning bosses are all bangers.
Gonna have to disagree with you hardcore. Hank is an endgame outfielder. Might be the best overall boss card this year. Mashes righties and lefties, great defense and speed, he has no weaknesses. The other two aren't the best but Hank alone makes this 7th inning above average.

Why is everyone so stoked on Adley Rutchman from TA4 but Spencer Torkelson is an L? Makes no sense to me.
I can think of a couple of reasons
-
There are many legends and current players people are hoping will show up as bosses that deserved a spot more.
-
TA Cards are team based so gamers who are fans of the other teams besides the Orioles didn't really care.
-
The overwhelming majority of the players in The Show probably don't follow the drafts and don't even have the slightest clue who Spencer Torkelson is.

#4. The vast majority of the player base also lack an understanding that SDS is a business and that there is a plan to keep players engaged in the game or draw them back over a large timeline cant comprehend why they wouldn't put Ruth Hank and Griffey in one program.

-
They shouldn't put more than 1 of the most anticipated players in the same inning. And this one had the MOST anticipated player by the majority of the player base. This is easily my favorite inning program so far.

Hank Could’ve been a multi million stub collection, but they made him a boss so that’s a win.. Tony G is a very underrated player and has more pop than his card lets on ( he basically got replaced by Cobb, but no Cobb this year) and we don’t know about Tork, we don’t know how his swing is, but let’s not rule this an L because we could look back at this as a W later... I personally want all 3.

i don't see hank aaron taking over anyone in my OF
lf - bellinger
cf - turner
RF - vlad jrunless aaron has a better swing than aaron sure.
Vlad Jr. is exceeding expectations for you out in RF being out of position. You have him in that RTTS training facility doing sprints.

Move Turner to 2B. Mantle in CF, Hank in LF, Belli in RF.
got mookie at 2b and mantle is riding my bench
Turner at 2B, Hank in LF, Mantle in CF, Guerrero SR in RF and Bellinger at 1B
With Walker and Yellich for pinch hitters -
Couldnt disagree more with the original post. I think this is a great set of bosses and a big step up from the last 3 bosses we had to choose from. There are a lot of great OFs but Hank is endgame caliber for sure. Truly elite stats on his card, a 5 tool player. Havent used the Tork card yet obviously, but he's an elite prospect in real life just like Adley, and looks like his card should be able to mash. I like the Vlad Jr ASG comp they made on the live stream. Tony gwynn is one of the greaters hitters of all time and a fan favorite to tons of people growing up that play this game, his card in the game isnt elite but I'm excited to use him also. I havent bought all three of the bosses from the last couple of programs because I didnt think they were worth it, but I definitely plan on it this time around.

Agree with all your points minus the set up from last inning as that inning has the most underrated card in the game with Brett. I am killing g with that card and have been burned by it enough ready that he is on my no pitch list I'll walk him with bases loaded before I try and get him out lol

@jogger171717_psn said in Worst of all-time??:
This was just their way of doing a 1 boss inning without technically doing a 1 boss inning.
I kind of agree here. Its not that the bosses are bad, the problem is that one is clearly above the other two. Every other inning, choosing just one of the three available was tough. For this it is Hank all the way. Only reason to consider Tork is I need to complete Future Star set.

I picked Brett over Pedro in a flip of the quarter sort of way (I've since purchased Kemp and Pedro) but Brett is my favorite by far. Even when I get sawed off, he inside pits the ball to left center for a double or HR. A bad at bat is just a single up the middle or a sac fly. He has been a great 3B for me.
I also agree with the above ^^^^, as much as I think all 3 bosses are worth having and I will most likely get them all, Hank is an endgame piece and it will be hard to pick someone else, though I may grab Gwynn out of SD loyalty.

7th Inning last year was Walter, Harper, and Frank. 19s was Bagwell, Dawson, and Seaver. IMO neither of those are massive upgrades over the current one unless you are part of the future stars hate club
I belong to that club

I at first bemoaned Gwynn but looking at his stats he kinda looks like a left handed Trea Turner to me. A little less power but those two at the top of a lineup could be a major headache. Looking forward to hearing what people say that play him.

I'm not a huge fan of FS. I like Wander, Adley, Logan Gilbert and Julio Rodriguez. I'm willing to give Tork a try. But I agree that they haven't yet earned the amazing attributes they possess and shouldn't out rank Hall of Famers (I'm looking at you Cabrera).

Whaaa. They clearly did it to pump hank. Not bad bosses Z

Nice universal statement. Please don't speak for others. Tony Gwynn is a true legend, and anyone who grew up in the 90s, would enjoy. Why is everyone so stoked on Adley Rutchman from TA4 but Spencer Torkelson is an L? Makes no sense to me.
And of course, many people have been asking for Hank Aaron.
I will scream this from the mountains.....DD is not exclusively for those of you who only want the top 26 players "one God squad to rule them all!".
I'm not saying these are the best possible bosses, but they are decent enough. I do agree with @jogger171717_PSN , they do seem to be favoring 1 Boss over the rest, but it's absurd to declare this the worst af all time.
Its because Adley is a switch hitting catcher. Thats literally the only reason. Tork "isn't as good as chipper" which literally everyone with half a brain knew when chipper was announced as the LS reward that he would be the best 3B all year
I didn’t do the collection because I was hoping for the Finest Bregman from 19 that they brought back last year. I was disappointed when they brought his award card in. Not a fan of him, just that card. I also was disappointed they didn’t bring the Finest Bellinger from the same year. His card is still a top 3 outfielder though.
The collection is cheap now. -

Adley is a big W at catcher due to him being a switch hitter with good splits from both sides diamond defense and decent speed for a catcher. Easily the best catcher option for those who value defense as much as offense.
