Texas Rangers?
-
CAN we please see some of the Texas Rangers on the Topps Now Program. They have an excellent team but I keep seeing the same teams and the same players over and over. Please!!!
-
We havent had any duplicate players in TN programs this year. Maybe guys on the Rangers need to do something TN worthy?
-
For the record, Andrew Heaney and Mitch Garver both have TN cards.
-
My goodness what a whiny post that is senseless since the Rangers have two TN cards and a MA card! But, seeing that you only have two posts that whine about the same thing, I guess we'll see you back here in a week and a half to whine some more!
-
Such negative responses, it was my opinion and I stand by what I was whining about!

Well I'm not sure if you're even watching baseball then...the Rangrrs have the second best record in baseball. Semian has a 23 game hitting streak, and Garcia leads the AL in RBI's. So maybe your just jealous because thr Yankees are choking again.

Here are a few points.
First, Topps needs to release an actual Topps Now card for the player in order for SDS to put it in the game. Adolis Garcia was the last one to get one of those for a 5 RBI game on 5/14. SDS does not decide these things. They only make their choices from the pool of players who Topps actually gave a card to that week.
Next, Topps Now cards are usually created for single game accomplishments so neither a 23 game hitting streak or leading the AL in RBIs are going to earn a Topps Now Card.
Lastly SDS usually chooses Topps Now from the options available to them based on the player. They will usually choose someone for whom a Topps now card is an upgrade over their best card currently in the game. Both Semien and Garcia already have 97 overall cards. The current Topps Now cards being released are 90-95 so both players already have better cards in the game.
So, maybe before throwing insults you should understand how the Topps Now cards actually work.

Only Topps Now card I need is Josh Smith, but as of now the only way that's going to happen is in the July Flashback pack.

First off no one from my end threw an insult, I was making a point of how disappointing it was that some teams got very few players represented while others got many. That's all I was saying. If I threw insults then it was in response to being called "whiny". My goodness why am I even explaining this to anyone.

Well, you told someone that they must not watch baseball and then threw shade at their team when, in actuality, they understood Topps Now cards and how they are awarded better than you apparently do.
Now, to your assertion that some teams get very few players represented, which I assume you think the Rangers are one of those teams. I got curious so here is a list of Topps now cards for AL teams so far this year (also includes flashbacks)
Orioles - 3
Red Sox - 2
Yankees - 4
Rays - 4
Blue Joys - 3
White Sox - 2
Guardians - 3
Tigers - 6
Royals - 2
Twins - 4
Astros - 4
Angels - 0
A's - 4
Mariners - 4
Rangers - 2Most teams come in between 2 and 4 cards so I would say that the Rangers have not been ignored. Now, if you were and Angels fan then there might be some merit.

Pondering the fact that my pitiful Tigers have 6.....was one of them for hitting an umpire in the face with a pitch or giving up and extra innings grand slam?

I like you Rage, you aren't like the others. The Tigers have alot of young prospects that when they get experience they will be pretty darn good. I hope my Rangers can keep winning and get a few more players in the programs.

While i second everything @Dolenz_PSN said, i wont reiterate as eloquently. The 2 people you mentioned both have LS diamonds and 97 overall Charisma series diamonds and you're over here crying about a 90-94 TN card. Get bent, kid.

First off I'm not a kid and you keep commenting on the shirt tails of others. I am a 62 year old man who has probably been playing video games longer then you've been alive. If you think I will sit back and let you make your lil snide remarks well your wrong because I ain't the one. You're just mad because you're Yankees spend all that money and are buried in 3rd place in the East. So go play somewhere else kid this is my playground!

Had a lot of hope for those prospects but they are almost all spending a lot of time on the injured list. Fingers crossed that Torkelson figures it out. Green was just starting to but got hurt. Mize and Skubal (who both just got cards that I will never be able to afford) hurt too. Hope springs eternal but man it's tough. Always have the Lions though.......

and in addition to this, Jonah Heim has an April Monthly Awards card, and I think that Seager reward for "Core" collection is also a Rangers card.

I "keep commenting on the shirt tails of others"? I was the first 2 comments on this post, kiddo, and you didnt like my responses then either. If you're gonna act like a 12 year old, i'll talk to you like one.
