I'd say Clase for sure.
They can't give them all to AL players can they? Goldy did go 1-1 with a HR and there was not much else to write home about offensively. He wasn't allowed a 2nd at bat like Stanton and Buxton.
Speaking of that, why did Soto play the whole game?
I just did a little quick tally and here is what I found
AL
- Otahni got one plate appearance while Martinez got 2
- Devers got 1 plate appearance while Ramirez got 2
- Most of the other starters got 2 at bats as did their backups.
NL
- Betts got one at bat while Soto replaced him and got 3
- Goldy got one at bat while 3 reserves each got one (why so many first basemen?)
- William Contreras got one at bat while Garret Cooper got 2
- Jeff McNeil got one at bat while Jake Cronenworth got 2
Didn't the fans vote in the starters because these were the guys we wanted to watch play the game? I realize that they tried to get everybody in but it seemed like they were poorly planned. Maybe some of these guys only wanted one at bat as to not tire themselves out but it just seems strange to me.
I think some guys don’t want to waste their energy for the all star game. It’s a long season. Also I thought Ohtani got 2 at bats. He got a hit and a walk,

You're right, I was looking at the box score and missed that he had a walk.

Buxton will likely get one too. Just not a 99. His contact might be suspect.
I would say this year his batting avg. has been weak, but he's made good hard contact, although I'd agree he is way more strike out prone.
Historically, he's close to 250 and last year's .300+ might be an outlier. I think a little bit of bad luck this year, but his career has been bad luck and filled with injuries... I mean when you come back from a mild injury in a career year (2021) and immediately are shutdown because of a hit by pitch in the hand the first game back. That is bad luck.
I think the only thing that should really push him to 99 if that happens (i'd be happy with 97-98) is the defensive stats. A full healthy year and he should be a top gold glove candidate. Has the highlight real of unlikely catches to weigh in.

I liked how it was when the position starters got 2 abs in 4 innings or so and in the 5th and 6th the reserves came in an played till the 8th or 9th when the manager got whoever was left into the game.

So do the all star not come out until tomorrow?

Technically. It will be tomorrow for most of us. The West coast might sneak in tonight but even that is doubtful. I believe it was about 2:00 am eastern last night for the HR Derby cards and it ended earlier.

I'm pretty sure it was just before midnight central time for HR cards last night, at least I THINK I went to bed at midnight.
I hope tonight they drop somewhat soon, but either way, we will all enjoy base round cards while a couple dudes brag that they got rare tier 47 times without providing any proof.

Checking their twitter it was 12:26 my time (1:36 Eastern) when they posted the base rounds for the HRD.
The HRD derby is also probably easier as the rounds determined the rarity. For the ASG cards they have to figure out who to hand out cards to, what round they will be in and how to skew their attributes to hit the correct overall. While most of us have solid ideas about who it should be there is no guarantee SDS will what we expect.

My guesses:
Stanton- MVP obviously
Buxton- winning HR obviously
Clase- 3 Ks and a save
Goldy- HR
Manoah- 3 Ks
Helsley- hut 103 mph twice. -

Oh for sure, the game ended much later tonight, and they have to figure out how they want to balance the game. Either way, I'll try to stay up. Grinding mini seasons and getting those PXP for the program.

I'll find out in the morning. It is time to get some sleep.

Jose Ramirez had 2 hits, I believe that was the only multi hit game but he just got an HRD card and they can't all be AL. Still, he's my wild card pick if one of the other 6 I said doesn't get it. They could also throw Musgrove some love as he pitched well.
Edit: Gimenez made a pretty cool double play. Maybe they give that one out. Or Mookie or Acuna for that first run.
Not much happened in this game unfortunately. NL got two early runs and then went to bed as they do every year.

@mrad2010_xbl said in Let’s get a 99 Buxton All Star card:
If he gets a legit card after tonight’s game he’ll probably be the best CF in the game. I’ve heard people like the HRD Rodriguez but I know the all star cards are usually really good. Last years base round Xander was a beast.
Well it wasn't a 99 ovr,but pretty dam nasty nonetheless
-
The only cards I really like in these packs are the pitchers
-
97 big deal right? Just parallel him and ge will be 99
-
I will get that Buxton down the road. Just spent 30K on Clase. Buxtons FOTF was insane. This should be better.

A lot of the times it comes down to the teams manager. They tell the All-Star game manager how available their player is.

Man Reddit is upset over the new Buxton card, calling it unusable due to the contact. They pretty much hate the whole drop.
There was nothing too surprising in the drop. The only part that surprised me is that I would have expected Manoah and Clase to be flipped, with Clase being the rare round. Kershaw was added because the only players who did anything worthwhile offensively for the NL were Goldy, Acuna and Betts but they all three already had cards rated 95 or above.

Reddit has complained and nitpicked about every single content drop for the last 3 years. It's almost unbearable. It's literally nothing but legend players complaining that H/9 or contact is too low for legend when the fact is almost no one cares about how cards play on legend because the extreme majority play AS and HOF only
-
I again went against my better judgment and bought 2 packs, its All-Star Week, live a little I thought. The first pack I got mid-round, took Helsley. Those attributes and pitch mix will play just fine for me. Buxton cards are fun, but I'm just not a good hitter so between the contact and vision I just didn't see him working out for me.
Second round I got base, took Kershaw. I am going to hold on to this card a bit, it seems like it could be sneaky good if used right.
