I give up on the Gibson moment. He doesn’t throw strikes, the Mets don’t chase. so, he either walks them or they hit lazy flies to the OF.
Definitely harder this month. No question.
That Gibson moment was a pain. Starling Marte was my nemesis on multiple tries at it.

Warren Spahn pitch 2 prefect innings. I finished most of the extreme moments faster.

Warren Spahn is the human rain delay, i hate pitching with him.... you also need to pitch 23 innings with him have fun.

I feel you there. With him I’ll go ahead and bean the first guy just to pitch from the stretch. Only thing is if you get a double play you’re right back with the rain delay lol
Edit Forget my strategy for the moment but it’ll work for the IP you need. I lost this one twice in the second already lol keep thinking about the silliest things and my focus is just gone and man that’s what these things are all about is just paying a bit of attention

Ok, I’m calling “Foul”. I’ve attempted all the Topps Now and working thru the retirement moments.
I’ve gotten exactly ONE of all of these on the first try.
I’ve been catching up on past Moments since Extreme came out. These set ( as a group) are way more difficult than any of the previous.
It’s like night and day.
The Altuve moment suprised me, i thought it would take forver instead on the second attempt it was a no doubter to left field.
I’ve seen a few people mention this now and it was same for me. First pitch I put it in the seats and that was that. Maybe there’s something to this card? I’ve not unlocked it yet as I’ve only completed the Moments. I’m also kinda looking fwd to trying out this Framber Valdez card that was the reward for the collection. You try it yet @samguenther1987
PS did anyone else have two identical fans (the exact same bespectacled fan, wearing a bright white shirt and their movements were totally synchronized…one to the extreme left and the other to the extreme right. Feels like walleye vision hahaha) on opposite sides of the front row during this moment? I found it terribly distracting lol

I hqve unlocked the Framber Valdez card and i enjoyed the pitch 2 innings moment with him but with so many great new pitchers to use this weekend i havn't gotten around to actually using him, i'll let you know when i do.
This weekend has helped me get to 300 cards in set 3 and Martin Dihigo so thats another one i want to try out.

Funny. All the moments you guys have mentioned are the exact same ones I’ve struggled with.
Too funny.

I've had a pretty easy go with moments all year so I feel dumb complaining but these retirement moment hitters are terrible. Everything is a weak grounder or lined right at someone. I can't believe how long it's taking to get 2 hits with some guys.
On an unrelated note: 21 innings with Spahn but just 1 stolen base with Ozzie lol......I mean who determined the numbers here?

They correspond to the number that player wore.

By golly they do don’t they? Never dawned on me. Dang. Why couldn’t Spahn have worn the number 00!?

'Eddie's Excellent Career'
Dude couldn't hit a gap if you took him in front of a The Gap store and asked: 'Eddie, can you slap this building for me?'
It's incredible! -

It's incredible!Eddie Murray cards are the worst lol, singles or outs for days. I got lucky and hit 2 in a row to center field and fielders had a hard time playing the ball lol. Otherwise i would have been just as annoyed.
-
The Murray moment took me a while as well. I hate that, as he’s one of my favorite O’s of all time.

45 IP 154batters faced approx 135 of them with bases empty. Now it isn't Spahn's day and a half delivery from a few years ago,
with analog it's actually quite fluid and rhythmic.
Arms up,back,leg,foot, throw. I watched him until the leg came up then looked at the line, accurate most of the time. -

This August Week 2 Topps Now moment with left handed batting Jon Singleton of the Astros trying to hit two XBH of Reid Detmers (yes, you’re correct…he’s a left hand pitcher) is making me want to slam my face in a car door
He’s slower than….i dunno, a witches teat? He’s friggin slooooow like tranquilizer dart to the neck slow
-
Oh this is just mean…I got lucky and parked one in the seats in my third AB and for my 4th AB they’ve pulled Detmers for…..Kenny Rosenberg another lefty hahaha I’ll be here all night
ps I will say that Singleton hits the ball very hard
-
I kid you not if I’m lying I’m dying…I just tried this at least 20 times so I decided I’d try and switch controllers to my last dual sense with rubber remaining on the left stick and hit homers in two pitches. That one sucked for dis oh boi
