Jazz Chisholm is still a Diamond?
-
You’re absolutely correct. I wonder if there’s a provision in the contract when signing as the games cover athlete that no matter how bad you suck it up you still get to be on top. I know with my luck and if I were Jazz I’d be the only player to ever have his cover status revoked mid season by someone else lol
-
It's a travesty that Jazz is still a diamond. The only explanation is that they don't want to downgrade their cover boy, a cover boy that many of us said was undeserving.

This is how my I know the LS ratings are mostly made up. I’m sure someone will jump in and say-
- 3 year average!!!! - He has never played 130 games in a season and his second best total is 60.
- They don’t mess with injured players. - maybe that’s true but it’s a rule they made up.
- There’s an algorithm- are you really telling me his 0.8 WAR this year and 5.6 career WAR passes that test?
He’s the cover boy! Thus he will be a Diamond all season. They are dying on that hill.
I don’t actually care but I can’t sleep and I’m playing the Marlins and was shocked to see he was still Diamond.
Ok feel free to tell me why I’m wrong haha.
Let's be real Jeter was the real cover guy this year no disrespect to Jazz but Jeter was the guy that was going to generate sales not him

Well, the guy on the cover sure does seem to look a lot like Jazz

Javier Baez proved that they will never downgrade the cover athlete from a Diamond. He had a worse year than Jazz is having, but never got downgraded.

I mean, yes he is, but they’ve sort of leaned into Jeter and the deluxe cover more. The Incognito series is a total play on the Jeter cover, the Captain cards. They obviously are ride or die with Jazz, not much you can do mid season when your cover boy is not playing well.
That’s why a guy who had one decent ore all star stretch before getting hurt shouldn’t be the cover athlete.
Next year it should be one of the following in my humble and unsolicited opinion-
Ronald Acuna Jr.
Mookie Betts (How has this not happened)
JoRam replete with
.
Kyle Tucker
Nolan Arenado
Juan Soto
Freddie FreemanThere are many others of course.

They should've went with Julio Rodriguez imo and for next year definitely Acuña.

You guys do realize ballplayers can turn down the cover right?
Yeah because which ballplayer would want to grow their brand and name recognition by accepting the honor of being on the cover of the only video game available in your sport? Oh wait, literally everyone. Except for Barry Bonds but that was for other reasons.

Actually baseball players are pretty superstitious, lots of them turn it down, do you really think Jazz was their 1st pick?
If so, I feel a little bad for you.

Share a source with me that shows who turned it down before Jazz and I will eat my words, apologize and call you King from here on forward.

Jazz being the 1st pick makes total sense, you're so right and never wrong, sorry I doubted your intelligence, you must be a god.

I asked to share a source, so share it if you have one. Your comment implies you don't have any - which I already know you don't - but I still like to hear it from you.

For those of you that actually have intelligence, it's like going to the bar to pick up on Women or Men, you might try with 10 people before 1 actually shows you interest, so are you going to talk about the 10 that turned you down or the 1 that accepted you?
SDS is definitely not going to talk about being turned down because it does not help them at all, so they celebrate the one that does accept the cover.
It's simple logic and common sense.

And?

I’d imagine companies have a clause in cover athlete contracts which prohibits one person from being on multiple covers in the same year.
Imagine in the old days you’re a parent shopping for your kid and don’t know games too well. You want to buy The Show with (example) Joe Mauer on the cover. Instead you buy MLB2K with Joe Mauer on the cover. Oops.
I guess closest to todays era would be Jazz on The Show and RBI. Could be easy mix ups.

That’s a good point there are only 750 or so active MLB players it so it would stand to reason that you wouldn’t want to pick the same player twice to be the cover athlete for both games during the same year. If anyone does get such an honor it should be Ohtani and I think it’d be cool if they just named the game “Ohtani Baseball 2024” next year as I can’t see him not winning most of the accolades for the next decade.
They got it bad wrong this year however it came about. I’m all for people bouncing back though so maybe once he has this season behind him he’ll reach his higher potential like in Ninjago Spinjitsu
