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
-
Heres a fun game, when D.L Hall throws a strike, drink. Seriously 1 home run moments should not take 20+ attempts
Throw a strike!Again i love this thread, just had to say it
-
Jon Singleton hasn't gotten a hit since Boyz N the Hood.
-
I haven’t tried any of the others yet this week. I usually get one homer at bats done in the first 1-15 tries except for a Kevin Pillar one earlier in the year and this Pablo Reyes one at 42 tries. Ouch. At one point I was like give me his live series card
-
The Singleton one might as well be an 8 TB mission, he can’t run to second. The only one he can beat to second is Yasmani Grandal
-
Ha Jon Singleton on the second attempt, love those crawford boxes. Thought that might take forever. Go figure.
-
Pablo Reyes, this is so frustrating. Carlos Hernandez will not throw me a strike at all, ball inside, ball outside, ball inside aost hits me. How can i possibly homer when the pitcher can't even throw strike. Attempt number 22 coming up.
- this moment is awful. On par for worst of the year so far
Finally on attempt #35. Thank you

Took me less attempts, but I'm gonna say it, Carlos Hernandez's pitch speeds in this were fudged up. No way was he throwing fastballs at 100 to 102 mph, if he was I wouldn't have been constantly very early.

For me it is definitely facing Ramone. I get through them pretty quickly but man he either dots everything or stays out of the strike zone completely. I get that they are just doing something goofy, but it gets annoying when he walks you on 4 straight pitches.

I did okay against him, but yeah, a lot of outside stuff. SDS and I have very different ideas of 99 control

Runs like he’s doing the moonwalk

Yeah, he is supposed to be throwing fastballs down the middle as a “BP” pitcher. Instead you have to hit dotted pitches out of the park

Like he has a piano attached to him or a anchor. Simple answer is just hit home runs then he can just walk around the bases lol
-
Holy moly! You guys are right about singleton. 30 speed. Wow!
I went 3-4 with him in my first try. A homer, but 2 singles. Neither was anywhere near trying for second. Although, I’m not sure he could make it.
Again, 30 speed. Unbelievable.
-
The singleton moment is just silly. This one is the kind of moments that makes us “hate” moments. Just silly.
-
The Winans moment is silly as well. Strike out three batters with a guy that is basically a BP velocity pitcher. Oh, against the Mets top of the order. Seriously.
