Conquest gave me one silver, a QS diamond and a gold card tho.
Too bad, they should have given you Trout and Bellinger guaranteed packs. Sds is so useless.

I mean no way that would be too easy. I’d rather flip cards 10 hours a day or pay $1,000 for the cards. That’s way better.

Chipper is only card who could make my bench as a pinch hitter, fielding and speed suck. He’s basically a lefty specialist only
If Chipper doesn't have 125 across the board against any NY Mets pitcher, I'll riot.

Not all of us are loaded with high diamonds.

Defense is important, but man, Chipper is always glitchy at the plate, and usually does fine fielding.
Chipper with his good attributes plays good...that makes him glitchy?
If you play far above your stats, it's glitchy. Glitchy bats tend to have the really quick swing (Suarez, Blackmon, Mondesi, etc), but what gets overlooked is the glitchy glove. Frank Thomas ALWAYS has terrific defense, despite almost always being a common level fielder. I can turn more difficult double plays with Frank than I can with Olson
Yeah i get that if you play above your attributes...but when good attributes play good...that is not glitchy
you can have Lightning Didi's stats, and still be glitchy. playing above your stats is playing above your stats, no matter what they are
Uh ok if you say so
Ever tried out peoples advice before? Maybe one day you’ll try alternate swings on your cap who keeps the same attribute and you’ll understand.
He didn't give me advice ..he gave me his opinion...

Negative. Never mentioned attributes. I said his cards are glitchy. Silvers, gold ect.(these cards tend not to have the best stats at the plate but his card usually performs).
-
This will be the first program I don't even bother with. I check in on the forums once a day to see if something positive happened, but otherwise I'm not playing until things get better, or the programs get better.

Well you never mentioned which card you were referring to...so be gone with your negative.
And actually the conversation was about his diamond card. So nice retroactive fix.

My apologies for not clarifying the cards I was talking about (to someone else). I'll be sure to be extremely clear from now on, so someone else doesn't jump to conclusions

Lol@to someone else ...didn't realize this was your own private forum....and no need to be that way...the conversation was clearly about the diamond card...but whatever not a big deal.

I quoted who I was speaking to. It's pretty simple, I was saying Chipper cards are glitchy, not because of his stats, but his cards are always glitchy (in general), that's it. I don't know why I needed to explain that again, but hopefully you got it this time.
-
Meh alot of this depends on where you are with your collections and your gameplan for the next few months.
Right now, Victorino could make my squad OF.
I've focused on a 90+ speed outfield with Robles, Buxton, and 87 Mantle in Right. Victorino could replace Buxton perhaps as he just has better stats overall.
I'm not sure about second because I pulled Madrigal and have been using him, but Robert's has great stats and is a switch hitter. Either way I'm fine, but will probably pick Victorino.
Chipper also looks good at 3rd because I dont have an actual OP primary 3rd baseman.
Note I picked Larkin who can only play short and I chose Hanley for the second inning. I've put him at 3rd base, but his defense there as a secondary is actually worse than Chippers.
-
Keep in mind these guys are all switch hitters with vision that will play to HOF+. I used Chipper in showdown and he was a beast. I didn't think I'd like Brian Roberts and Victorinos either but the Roberts card is hot
I'm huge Braves fan and I almost want to take him instead of Chipper... -
I am happy we all don't have a full squad of 99s....too bad the gameplay is the real problem this year...
-
With the release of the Summer Affinity cards and all the amazing 3B with godlike powers at the plate and in the field . . . The only thing to do with Chipper Jones is to quick sell him! And I’m not at all saying that because I am programmed to hate the Braves!

@fingerslp said in 3rd inning is a bust for me:
I think all three guys make most peoples squad, unless youve completed the collections. Roberts is better than Sandburg; switch hitter with a better swing. Shane is a poor manys Mantle and Chipper...common, its Chipper! Youre using his swing on you CAP.
Roberts is not better than Sandberg . I’ll take Ryno 80+ power from both sides all day everyday also his swing is fine IMO.
Maybe, Sandberg is on a lot of guys bench though and few people are taking him as a first or second pick. So, for those people, Roberts is a plus option.

The issues I’m having with the content is 80% is recycled. If we want to get technical outside of the Team Affinity Prospects its 100% recycled. Each Inning program so far has included someone that was a mainstay in line ups last year. They also are already recycling the new “Legends”. Roberts has already been in lineups as a gold since week 1. Victorino also has been widespread from team collections. Chipper has been around forever. At this rate we wont get too many ‘new” legends until near end of the games life. We will get the best versions of Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Ortiz, etc at a time when The game is almost obsolete. SDS could have had some decency to sneak in an Albert Belle or player of his quality its been 2 years. I’d rather have him again instead of Bob Feller’s racist [censored] again and again.
How exactly is Bob Feller racist?
Look up Bob Feller on google. All the back handed remarks and word choice for people of color was blatant. I’m a tribe fan so I heard it on the radio for years and read numerous articles. Eventually some one called him out for it. He decided to call into a radio show argue he wasn’t but it didn’t fool anyone he got mad and hung up. His demeanor was easily read as not caring much for people of color whatsoever.

Outside of him pushing to get Satchel Paige signed and allowing Negro League players to tour with him his comments about Hispanic players as he got older and his public feud with Jackie Robinson told the true story. This isn’t like Ty Cobb who many believed him to be racist but only went off here say. There’s numerous people over the decades that will tell you Feller was ignorant in many different ways.

So, the first article about the radio show really doesn’t mean much. From what I can tell, the interviewer just kept asking the same question after it had been answered, then kept calling Feller a racist even after he explained that he wasn’t. I don’t blame him for hanging up in that situation. If people have an agenda they want to carry out, there’s only so much you can do to change their minds.
As far as the feud with Robinson goes, I think it’s clear that they had two distinct personalities that clashed, not because of race though. Robinson asked why baseball didn’t have a black manager after 20 years of integration, and fellers response was basically that a black man shouldn’t get a job just for the sake of diversity. If he earns it, he earns it. That’s my interpretation of it. Besides, everything I’ve read says they were good friends again before Robinson died.
Feller clearly had many black teammates and willingly played with/against them without issues, so calling him a blatant racist seems incredibly unfair.
