@theBlindRhino_NSW lol fair enough. I like Max’s swing but I just wanted a card that will stay relevant through the year. Has it been pretty much confirmed he’s getting it? I haven’t seen anything yet.

@Dolenz_PSN
Yelich was red hot in June. 1.000 OPS, couple of walk offs.
He's going to get snubbed in the All Star Game.
The other lightning candidates will get ASG Cards. -
@PrestoFoxx_PSN Now Yelich is another card I’d love to see as POTM. Probably the best swing in the game. I really hope it’s Mete or him.
-
@MRAD2010_XBL No. I just made it up because I recall him hitting a lot of homers lately. I only watch Dodger games because they have all the most talented players and I like their uniforms.

The other lightning candidates will get ASG Cards..936 OPS in June. They could justify it somehow and players would like him, but he isnt really deserving of lightning
As far as being snubbed, hes basically Brandon Nimmo with more RBIs but an enormous downgrade defensively. And nobody is calling for Nimmo (who knows a thing or two about snubs) to be an all star this year.

Speaking of snubs. Why isn't Michael Conforto getting more love?
-
@theBlindRhino_NSW lol he did have a great month. I agree the Dodgers do have great colors and uniforms. I’m from the east coast but I still wear my Hideo Nomo Dodgers jersey and dodgers hat occasionally. Actually I wear the hat a decent amount. The jersey here and there.

I know this is in jest, but I really hope they give him a good Mets card this year. His 2020 season was 99 worthy. Maybe a 2017 retro all star?

The other lightning candidates will get ASG Cards.As mentioned it was .936 in June. There were 20 players with higher OPS numbers.
He was 10th in BA (which may be his best claim)
He was 55th in WAR
He was 20th in wRC+
He was 52nd in HRs
He was 13th in RBIsI'd personally have no problem if it was him but let's not act like it is a no-brainer slam dunk. He always gets a good 99 card every year and I assume this year will be no different. We are getting high enough in overalls that they may choose not to give a 97 card to someone they plan to give a 99 card to later. That used to be a common thing, not giving guys cards when they knew a better version was still possible.
I would also not say that he was snubbed for the All Star Game. It is hard to say the Ohtani was not deserving.
-
I forgot Yelich is a DH now. Tough to argue him over Ohtani, Schwarber, and Suzuki
