What does SDS have against offline Cardinals fans?

I think they try to mix things up as far as how you earn cards from year to year, and if a lot of cards from a particular team can only be earned online then it’s probably just a coincidence. I’m sure there are online only players out there who are annoyed because most of their favorite team’s players can only be earned offline. It seems like they try to set up content in a way that encourages people to try both online and offline, so people who stick with one or the other are always going to miss out on something.

I think it is great that we are seeing three Cardinals icons (Musial, Pujols, Ozzie Smith) released all within a 1 week span.
As an offline player, which of those cards can I earn by playing and how do I earn them? Oh, you've put them all as rewards for online modes, so I am out of luck.
As someone whose interest in the game is beginning to wane a little, this does nothing to entice me to keep playing. Even if I can afford to buy them all off the market next month that seems like an very unsatisfying way to obtain them.
They can only give so many rewards that way or it won't encourage people to play the modes that makes them the money. Offline grinding doesn't really do that. Obviously they will give a way to get cards for a percentage of it. I personally think they should give the offline cards a way to get them by playing online because most of the player base are online players. I hate having to grind moments or showdowns for cards instead of missions in rs or events. It should be easier to get the cards by doing the offline grind but still possible to get them by online.

I may be wrong but weren't like 22 of the 26 STL FB/legends grindable in one way or another? It's always something.

I know this will sound stupid but when I played offline only a couple years back. I would make my own missions for some of the unattainable cards. Once I finished my own missions then I would go buy the card off the market and it somewhat felt like I accomplished something. So maybe something like with Ozzie Smith do.... Steal 7 bases, drive in 7 runs, and get 7 XBH. Or make it however hard you want it. Just keep a notepad next to you and mark it off as you do them.
Quick Edit
Cardinals drool, Reds rule!
