New cards for Friday Aug 22
-
Someone's last name is 'Beavers?' Lolz
-
The only other thing they posted on Thursday was this image. A pitcher and what looks to be a lefty and a right hitter
-
If I didn't know any better...
-
middle pic is definitely Big Pappi
-
I kinda see Larry Walker on the right, but that's a guess. It looks so familiar, I can't place it for sure.
-
Can’t be Larry Walker since he just got a 99 card as WS award.

Too thin I feel. I still think Ortiz is the Red Sox player in cornerstone, even if he does deserve a boss card.
Righty looks like he has a goatee. Bagwell is long overdue for a card, but his cards dont seem popular so i doubt its him
-
Randy Johnson is one of the weekend classic rewards

Looks like I'll be waiting for a while to get him...

@MarioMendoza935_XBL Thanks. I was just getting ready to post that. I added it to the first post

I'm thinking Ortiz in the reward path - I think the silhouette looks about like this:
-
Not saying Randy doesnt deserve a 99 Seattle card, but man what did diamondbacks fans ever do to SDS?

@Dolenz_PSN I just got excited and jumped the gun. I know you're always "on-it"!

No problem. If you see it before I do and want to post that is fine. I am heading out to do some yardwork before the stream today so I may be tardy on them if they tease more.
@Teak2112_MLBTS - Yeah, they should have made randy a Diamondback. He won 4 consecutive Cy Youngs in Arizona and came in 2nd another year with them. So while he spent more time in Seattle, he was better in Arizona and they desperately are in need of cards.
I would love to get a peek behind the scenes of these decisions. It's not like people will not want the 99 Randy Johnson card because he is a Diamondback instead of a Mariner.
-
Maybe because this randy is coming out today it'll drop the price of the other Randy because Randy is my favorite card to use but I've only been able to use his silver card because the other one is expensive
-
I just looked.
Arizona's best starting pitcher option is a 92 Merrill Kelly Spotlight Card from May. Seattle with Randy will have a 99, two 98's and a 96.
That's 3 full months of content without a better pitcher being released for Arizona.

I know some people get upset when they release multiple cards for the same player, but a guy like Randy its fine to have 2 99s. And honestly he probably should. But people also get mad when they recycle cards and there is only so much they can do.
But there should be a 99 Arizona Randy every year. Maybe there still will be this year
I know a lot of people think theme teams should allow players that played for that team, and I kind of disagree because I dont think Willie Mays belongs on a Mets theme team in his peak form. Do we really want to have peak Randy Johnson on Yankee's theme teams?
Maybe if there was a way to earn a different card skin or something, that could help the issue of people wanting more to grind for while the god squad only online players dont care what uniform their cards are wearing
-
This is why they need to code it so the captains to include all teams the player played on, then it doesn’t matter what laundry the player gets their best card.

As I said above, I disagree. The laundry does matter, and the Mets, Braves, and Phillies should not be able to use that 99 Joey Bats

@SaveFarris_PSN
Exactly who I was thinking!
