Trevor Story - May POTM

Didn’t see the tease on the schedule. Lightning player should be dropping next week correct?
-
Six total bases for his Topps Now. SIX. Really SDS. Really????

What? So now are we complaining because they are too easy? Should we go back to the 10 or 12 TB moments?
-
I apologize for not being clear. I think 6 total bases is a bit much for a moment. Especially when it starts in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

If Story didn't have that stupid Topps Now flashback this would be incredibly obvious......Goldschmidt is the only other real option, but he's another 1st baseman.
Altuve still has the Astros problem......people would complain.
I say a 96-97 overall Story is plausible.

If we get a May POTM Trevor Story that is 96+ ill play MLBTS again.

I don't think the "astros problem" will factor into it. People complained about rizzo, they will complain about goldy, and they will complain about story becsue his contact numbers will be in the 60s and he just got the topps now. It's either going to be altuve or a pitcher imo.

Story's fielding would go down to mid-gold at best, which would allow 80 plus contact a side.
Plus he'd be jumping up at least 5 in overall.

Story is bating. 238 this month... where are you getting 80 contact from each side?
He has also struckout the 3rd most times. So low vision and discipline.

We simply ignore the stats the stats that don't fit our narrative

Won't be Betts solely because he 95 release
Won't be Story because he just got the 91 recentlyNot saying neither of them deserve it but that has to be taken into account as well.

Verlander….watch

@lioned-33_xbl said in Trevor Story - May POTM:
Verlander….watch
Now that...I could get on board with. It's amazing how I've even pitched decently with his 72 Rookie card.
-
The options:
Goldschimdt - Another 1st baseman
Verlander - In-play but wouldn't be a high enough overall to be usable with his pitch mix
Altuve - They have never given him his MVP card.....unless he pulls a Sosa and has a 20 homer month, this ain't happening
Betts - No.....He just got a 95 overall. This card would be a 96-97 max.
Alonso - Would want to save him for HR Derby
Story - In-play but would need to be exagerated with contact to be worthwhile
Judge- No....his live series is 94 overall -

Judge- No....his live series is 94 overallYeah, IRL Judge AL and Goldy NL are pretty much locks. But probably neither for MLB the Show. Like you said Altuve is out, just because, doesnt matter how much it is proven he had nothing to do with the Astros thing from 2017. But we sure could use a good 2nd baseman. Betts just got a nice card. It could actually be Story. While only maybe the 4th to 6th best POTM for May he may be a lightning card.

Altuve would be cool and so much fun, but I doubt it. SDS loves punishing and trolling astros fans, becaue after all its our fault the players and coaches cheated.

And those coaches are in Boston and Detroit now so all is good! Correa in Min, Springer in Tor, Gattis retired, Marisnik, Marwin Gonzales, Reddick and of course Beltran, the founder. But years later lets keep pressing Altuve who literally everyone, including teammates who have moved on have cleared. Altuve was a better hitter before all this BS than he is now. Now that he has old man strength he hits for more power, but he use to hit for very high avg and speed.

What i always thought was funny is that in 2017 the astros were by far a better road hitting team.

altuve looks to have a viable case
An Altuve POTM card would sure create alot of buzz around here.
