Third inning boss revealed
-
We thinking a relief pitcher for the third then? Sutter/ Smith/ Percival all had mid 90's cards last year.
-
Maybe I was just spoiled with last year's 98 Bumgarner so early on... but none of these inning bosses so far have been anything to really motivate me to grind for. Yeah I get the reasoning about people complaining too many 99s but still these are hard to define as "bosses" to me.

I think the 3rd boss will be a prime cliff lee.
2 Phillies in the same program? Na
-
3rd guy gotta be a pitcher. If I had to guess, it'd be a flashback b/c we already got 2 legends.
SS Greinke?
-
I am usually not the kind of person to complain about a free card, but this third inning..🤮
-
I know I would rather have any of Feller, Carter, or Ramirez over these 2.
It's going to have to be someone like the 94 Aroldis Chapman or prime Goose Gossage to make up for this debacle.
-
My guess is the Bosses will be underwhelming this year as compared to last. The best cards will be found at the end of the TA paths, summer and fall. 99 Willie Mays will be the found at the end of the the Giants TA path for example...

Hopefully it's a switch hitter card from before 2013 lol
How about a switch pitcher?

Agree completely
-
The third is a righty hitter (or it could be another switch hitter). I am basing that on the first tease they posted. His jersey looks to have longer sleeves and that was more common during the 70's. I am really hoping for Carlton Fisk, but that probably won't happen.

I feel like there should not be any 99s in the game unless you prestige them. Save for maybe mickey mantle, but I don't like the idea of any of the cards being max attributes especially this early in the life-cycle of the game unless you have some cominbation of skill, dedication and/or a fat wallet.
if the kluber card was a 95 overall with a prestige to 99 I feel like that would have been a better solution than having every team now have a 99 kluber coming at you every 3 RS games.

Get ready for Catfish Hunter with these p.o.s bosses
I was really good with Catfish last year. I'd be okay with that. Good speed differentials, smooth delivery, great control.

Don’t know why people are complaing, he’s a great fielding good arm outfielder, if anything it’s a free 35k. He easily replaces my cargo or Gallo in the outfield

Ah yes! Shane Victorino and Brian Roberts. 2 all time greats being perfectly represented. Hopefully we get a 92 Ron Karkovice, or 97 Jose Valentin next.
Wow Ron Karkovice, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

I’m expecting the exact same thing! It’s the only reason I’m doing the Mariners, White Sox and Padres TA. Griffey Jr, Frank Thomas, Tony Gwynn 99s here I come!!

They just had Roberts as a henchmen in the 1st inning and he was a very memerable player compared to last years inning bosses and this years they suck. Last year the 3rd inning had alomar who for alot of people was an end game car. It seems like they are moving away from the sig cards which is fine but these are not great cards. Victorino is going to have probably 100+ contact R and L about 50-60 power maybe 88 or 90 speed and is a switch hitter. But Roberts is basically the same player at 2nd where they already have sanberg at 99. The bosses after this inning better be a lot better. Last year Lou was in the 4th inning and was a beast. So lets hope the 4th inning is better
The last boss has to be a relief pitcher maybe a prime gossage or prime billy wagner?

Last year ya'll got on here and complained that they were releasing 99s too early in the game cycle.
SDS listened and did as you asked.
This post has confirmed to SDS that they don't need to continue to listen to the community. They could give you a free trout at 50 stars and you'd complain that it's tanking the market and making it too easy for people to complete the collections.
