So uhh whos the lightning card for May
-
Betts.
WAR - 2.6 (1st)
AVG - .355
HR - 12 (T-1st)
RBI - 27
RUNS - 31 (1st)
K% - 14.5%He bats leadoff, so his low K% is important, and to have 27 RBIs for that spot is excellent. He has played gold glove level defense including several assists. No "love from SDS" is needed, he has earned it. His 95 card [should] have nothing to do with this.

I'm not saying that Betts doesn't deserve it, but giving Mookie a 95 POTM card when he already has a 95 card is dumber than Rizzo getting April's card. Betts being the "best" performer over goldy is quite debatable too.

I mean I could probably throw darts at names and have a better chance if guessing it right, I just know that it won't be Mookie or Judge

Kinda, yeah. I'm no great fan of SDS this year, but c'mon man -- they don't have a crystal ball. They have to balance who deserves a PotM with who already has high diamond cards. Lots of things to "SMH" at SDS about, but this isn't one of them.

Them not wanting to release what would essentially be another 95 overall card for him is a better reason than those saying Goldschmidt won't get it because last month's lightning card was a 1B and they won't release two in a row.

Might as well give it to goldy. This game has lacked anything worthy of getting excited about, why start now?

Is he not deserving? Who would you give it to, assuming it will be a 94 or 95 overall?

I'm not saying that he doesn't deserve it, he has had the best month. Im saying that it would be another boring program for another firstbaseman. That being said I don't see how he doesn't get it. It will either be him or a pitcher.

Sounds like perfect Month for a pitcher. Devers would be fun though

It's obviously Nick Plummer.

@mubby_33_psn said in So uhh whos the lightning card for May:
Story or Trea Turner? Both have had good months even if not as good as your guys you listed in op.
I don't know how people keep putting Story's name out there. He is batting .227 for the month of May. Goldschmidt has 2 more HRs and the same number of RBIs and is batting .406
Turner is a possibility to get a card because of the streak but I don't think he has done enough to be lightning.
I don't think he is deserving but neither was Rizzo last month. SDS has set the bar pretty low. Basically if you hit a bunch of HR or get tons of RBIs you can win, batting average does not matter to them. Meanwhile a middle infielder would be much more popular than another slow firstbaseman. Goldy is most deserving but that does not mean SDS will take the obvious choice.
-
Could be a Pitcher -- Martin Perez would be prime nominee with his 4-0 record, 1 CG SO and 33K. Only gave up 3 ER all month (ERA 0.64).
Otherwise I think Devers is a solid nominee for AL position player - .381 / .712 / 1.133. He had 22 XBH (8HR) and 17RBI in 28 games.

@twisted-_-tea-_psn said in So uhh whos the lightning card for May:
POTM will likely be mookie or goldy/Devers or Judge. Judge and mookie are out for the lightning and devers already has a FOTF. Would they seriously drop another firstbaseman? Pitchers of the month is likely wheeler and perez so maybe wheeler? Only other batter that could be a possibility is Altuve. What do you guys think?
Mookie is a possibility, he’s been hot in May. Verlander has amazing stats so far this season, so if they give us a pitcher, it’ll be him.

I venture to say that no program or choice is going to please everyone and someone will always say that the program is boring.
Hell, I ain't even got Rizzo yet. I did not like the stage 2 and stage 3 portions of the POTM program at all. It's way too drawn out. They trickle out the lower cards slowly and pretty much make you get them to Parallel 1 before they give you the next one and ask you to do it all again.
Possibly the only thing that would get me excited about the May POTM program would be a Goldschmidt card.

The POTM card for this month will most likely be around a 95. Betts already has a 95 card.
The only reason Rizzo got the card last month is that most of the other contenders already had diamond cards in the low 90s.
