New 15 win Event Reward:

Free Moonshot Rookie Pitcher Pack:

@SaveFarris ah man, my least favorite type of event -moonshot . Cool they are giving you a pitcher i guess though lol. Hardpass on moonshot for me though

[AdeptOfMemory_PSN]

@Cubsfan217 Moonshot is pretty horrible. You can make the argument "oh but you just need to hit the ball like your opponent". If I wanted a HR derby I'd just go play HR derby.

@SaveFarris What is even the point of the common pitchers? Who would use them outside of moonshot?

Ooofff - at least they're Season 1 cards and can be used for collections. Weird for sure

[blitz77tw_PSN]

helps you advance in the collection so not complaining but ... what about the last X tweet --

season awards drop at 15k stubs in shop that feature all the " common" players up through last pack

Are they learning from there mistakes ? Is this JUST an end of season thing ? Are we getting a pack drop for this week ?

[AdeptOfMemory_PSN]

@MarioMendoza935 the only other reason I would use them is for the Hoffman boost. I think every single one of them can receive the captain boos

Edit: maybe not Maddux or Arrietta but I'm pretty sure all of the others do.

If they're wise [insert smarta**remarks here], they'll include that pack in the program and/or have a repeatable Conquest/Showdown to earn them.

SDS giving us free common cards has to be a troll

[SaveFarris_PSN]

Uh ... 3 of the cards mentioned in the upcoming program were the infamous 'QR Billboard' cards from the beginning of the year...

[sbchamps17_NSW]

This is a big W, although I already have Cortes and Taylor but could probably use them for exchanges if you aren't allowed to quick sell them

[Cubsfan217_XBL]

@sbchamps17 i think we use this term " This is a Big W" way too much around here. Ijs. Free cards that were given away to select ppl around the country now in a program is a Big W? I mean, if that's a Big W ya might as well go around being the spokesman for Tylerslikewhoa

[sbchamps17_NSW]

Why do you always have to be negative about everything

[Cubsfan217_XBL]

Who says im not positive. Im equally both.

[sbchamps17_NSW]

No your not, people who didn't get those cards will actually be happy that SDS listened and put them in the program unlike you who probably are one of the rare people who got all 3

[Dolenz64_XBL]

@AdeptOfMemory I assume the common pitchers are to make sure everyone can jump into the event without needing to buy common pitchers , assuming that they had maybe sold or exchanged them all in the past.

[xxfrystealerxx_MLBTS]

@Dolenz64 That and it's 6 free cards towards the S1 collection. I'm not complaining about it as this will help

Good point, but I am nowhere near any meaningful number of Set 1 cards so they don't really help me on that front. Actually, I don't even play events so they would not help me much at all.

But if it helps others get to the Boss packs then that is great.

[DoIHearBossMusic_PSN]

@Dolenz64 Been like forever! Wouldn't mind a Winn or Burleson card, they have been raking
