The Mess spent all that money to get dropped like a bunch of losers!

@Misfits_138_1_PSN said in Anyone Using the Killer?:

I'm a big Killebrew fan, and they finally gave him a card worthy of a guy who hit 573 HR's.
But his swing seems a little funky-- Maybe it's too long, I can't quite tell.

Is anybody using him as a starter?
Anyone having success?

With so many heavy hitting 1st basemen, he's on a short leash.

I hate his swing, definitely needs to be modified.

99 Takashi Ken Griffey Jr
99 Retro finest Lindor
99 Retro Finest Maurer

Yep this about to get crazy

Add Vlad Sr. to the list

@samguenther1987 said in Tak Griffey Jr. stats.. (His best card yet):

Now that's a Griffey Jr card, and it's official that is definitely one of my 3 end game outfielders.

It’s just boring. With all the new cards coming out there’s no incentive to grind for it imo.

@NCStateHokie_PSN said in Judge is the GOAT?:

I guess people just enjoying saying or typing the word GOAT. It gets thrown around WAY too often. Judge is having a heck of a season but the dude is 30 and only in his 7th season. He's not even in the discussion yet.

Once he breaks that record, you bet your a55 he will be.

@Alpha-WoLf-x1x_XBL said in Push Hitters, question for all the show vets out there.:

Does anybody know who else utilizes push hitter in the game, besides Hank Aaron? Also, what's the best way to compensate for this at the plate?

Geee….maybe wait for pitches on the outside of the plate and try to be on the late side of good to go oppo?

What kind of a question is this?

It’s a simple question from somebody new to the game… The bigger question is what kind of response is that dip [censored]?

@the_dragon1912 said in Push Hitters, question for all the show vets out there.:

Push for legends is only Hank, Pudge, and Foxx

Gotcha, is there a specific way to tell within the game?

@soonermagic78_XBL said in Hank Aaron: Push hitter:

I noticed pudge is also a push hitter. Does this cause issues? I haven’t played with either that much.

Makes it harder to pull the ball, and if you get thrown heat inside that’s exactly what you’ll need to do. It’s more of a sweaty online issue, he will crush pitchers offline but online sinkers can be really tough with push hitters. They’re tough enough already.

No wonder I can’t hit with this card.

@BANGyourSOUL_XBL said in Are There Any Decent LOTF Pitchers?:

Sutton is right handed Valenzuela with a sinker. If you are playing a goon guys like Sutton or Valenzuela are better than Nolan Ryan…. etc…..

He doesn’t have a change up, which is a key part in Valenzuela‘s repertoire. So I would say similar, but nowhere near the same.

@BIG_PAPIx34_PSN said in Finest Roberto Clemente:

Only issue I have with this card, minor as it may be, is the day BEFORE they announced him; I just finished the LS Collection and got the MS Clemente.

So now I either use that card for awhile and then upgrade or have a card that 'cost' 500K+ just sit in my inventory.

Use one for a while and switch to the other after you p2 or p3 to see which you perform better with. Make it a contest with yourself.

I will say his finest card no doubter has one of the best HR animations in the game.

SOS. The only enticing card is Prince Fielder.

W for all Braves theme teams.

@lSlimBrighty_XBL said in 3rd collection on 9/16:

I've seen this post a couple times, but I wanna see who ya'll think it is gonna be, I'm thinking it's gotta be a pitcher cause they've done infield and outfield alr

I could be wrong but I think it will just be an announcement for the next big collection.

Can't see them dropping a big collection the same time they drop a new program that should have '30' bosses which will probably be part of said collection.

That would make those cards EXTREMELY expensive.

That's exactly what they did for every big collection last year I believe. Mariano was TA 2, Mookie was TA3, Kershaw was TA 4 and Griffey was TA5.

@SaveFarris_PSN can you confirm this?

I definitely think we'll be getting the collection next week. My prediction is a pitcher. I'm gonna say either Goose Gossage, Justin Verlander or Degrom.

@the_dragon1912 , curious who you think since you're the champion at this.

Dibble, Kluber or Hershiser.

@MRAD2010_XBL said in Switch hitters:

Chipper
Marte
Jasson Dominguez
Eduardo Escobar topps niw( dont sleep on him)
Posada
Brian Roberts
Nick swisher

Hopefully they’ll release a better Mantle soon

Add Posada to the list.

@SakAttack87_PSN said in Soriano as the Retro Lightning? This should be fun.:

Is this confirmed?

I didn't see it on Twitter, but there is a picture on Reddit. I wasn't sure if he would get a better card than the Takashi version. Hopefully he maintains the positional flexibility.
