Just want to thank you all for continuing this thread every day. I work thirds, and I basically look at this at noon if I last that long to see what it is, and whether or not I do........it's such a big help to know what you have to get yourself into with these. Much appreciation for all of you every day.

I actually hit a home run with a legit starting pitcher. Granted offline. A conquest game against Detroit on All Star against Tarik Skubal. Figured I'd see what MadBum had left in the tank as a bronze for fun. Went up big quick. Kept him in to hit. Of all pitchers it was him. Low inside fastball WITH A NO DOUBT animation no less!

Not surprised MadBum broke the spell. Surprised I've played 4 installments of the game, and today it FINALLY happens.

Closest I ever came before believe it or not was online with the Tigers Team Affinity Edwin Jackson card from The Show 18 in an event game. Literally a foot away from going over the wall.

Plus I opened a standard pack and pulled LS Goldy so the Cards are done cheap now

If JRam is anything remotely close to his Monthly Award card from past year, he should definitely be a desirable card as a Cleveland Baseball Team Fan.

Wow..........5th try. Gapper into left center field off a power swing low fastball I crushed. The ball gets to the catcher as I've passed 3rd, and he gets it a few feet in front of home plate almost next to the line.......and he just WAITS there in the same spot!!!! He ends up missing the tag on Clemente. Inside the park hr. Moment done. Chalk this one to sheer stupid luck. Contreras had more than enough time to move a foot and be able to tag Clemente. Crazy.

My most hated are the 3 hits in one game. Not get on base 3 times. 3 hits. I've played nearly every daily moment since launch, and the WORST daily moment was trying to get 3 hits with Mickey Mantle against the A's. Those are the absolute most, undisputed demoralizing moments for me. The 8 total base ones seem bad on paper, but 90% of the time they give you somebody good at the plate where its seemingly less of a hassle, and give you a good chance with favorable matchups between hitting stance, and the starting pitcher you're dealing with 2-3 or more of your abs.

Not a Tiger fan but I am a fan of Miguel Cabrera. Any day now he's going to hit his 500th

I’m not going to watch, Jack Morris won’t be calling it. ️

Yup, he screwed up. Has to live with it now.

He was suspended, not fired. IMO it sounded like he was referencing Looney Tunes and it was taken the wrong way. What has me fired up is that he was suspended AFTER he made a very sincere apology.

Shohei and Maddon aren’t offended by what he said. The majority of fans I’ve seen are against his suspension.

What really gets me is that Bob Brenly wasn’t suspended.

It certainly sounds to me like Morris meant no harm and was just having a bit of fun, but you have to be so careful these days. I think he'll be back just needs to take a break for a bit.

I agree, and that’s the sad part. It’s like nobody can say anything anymore without someone getting offended. IMO it’s not healthy to have to walk on eggshells with every word.

I think it was inappropriate but I don't think the punishment matches the 'crime'. Additionally, it's literally being labeled as Jack Morris uses racial slur on YouTube. That's simply ludicrous. Poor use of cultural appropriation to try to add a joking tone to how to pitch to Ohtani? Absolutely. Malicious racial slur? Not even close.

It’s not a slur! How could they call it that?? That video should be taken down because of the misleading title IMO.

Agreed. Google it. I'm really disappointed in society. I feel like it's mostly 'woke' Caucasian folks overcompensating. If we want to talk about Asian injustice let's talk about how we practically no coaches or managers of Asian descent in the major leagues. That's something to care about that actually impacts the Asian baseball community.

Ichiro was such a phenomenal player, I’m surprised he doesn’t have a coaching/managerial job (that I’m aware of).

I do agree that it’s Caucasians who are trying to overcompensate. Personally I don’t think it’s any of their business to determine what is best for another group—the same goes for all groups. Problems aside, we are a lot better off than we were 50 years ago, equality-wise. This kind of stuff threatens that achievement.

To Bally Sports and all the other people/corporations that are doing this kind of thing—how about instead of focusing on what makes us different, we focus on what makes us similar.

All they care about is the bottom line regarding $$$$ and the least amount of any sort of negative publicity as possible.

Honus Wagner leading off in a conquest game on veteran against the Angels......Normal swing. Right into the million dollar paint can 🤯🤯🤯

My friend and I did home run derbys for hours with the best righties in the game power wise, and never got it. WOW. Honus of all people

Insane card yes, but Honus!?!?!?!?!

As a lifelong Clevelander, and "Indians" fan, I'm severely disappointed, sad, and angry.

It was an inevitability that was already announced, and known, but it doesn't make it any better knowing now it's official.

I understand to some people Chief Wahoo was deemed insensitive, and racist to people, but ultimately it existed, and I feel like the History of Baseball is being tarnished, and erased regardless of people's opinions or beliefs on the matter.

I was disgusted when Jim Thome's plaque in the Hall of Fame had him wearing a Block C on his hat, and I'm disgusted by this even more.

Chief Wahoo was a massive hotbed of controversy, but to change the name of the team entirely...........It never needed to go that far. I guess Louis Sockalexis, and the vast Heritage, and History of Native Americans in northeast Ohio historically means absolutely nothing to anybody relevant here.........It's a sad day.

@The_DoctorsWife said in So I miraculously pulled LS DeGrom:

@BruceyBruce29 I envy you. Selling him is probably best if you don't want Mantle—hopefully SDS will make more of cards like him available to the market soon so I can afford him

I've waited so long to pull Trout, and yet all this time DeGrom was the jackpot hahaha I could not believe it at all. As soon as the Mets jersey popped up I lost it

As a offline only player who sucks at showdown and failed it twice I bit the bullet and tried the event. It took me 10 games to get 5 wins. 2 of them where from players that quit. If I can do it anyone can, I am not very good at the game and struggle to hit vs the CPU on all star.

All of this! just suck it up and do the event. I got one win from someone that quit. Got my 5 wins and haven't been back to it since!

I finally decided to bite the bullet as well after getting off work this morning, and try to go for 5 wins/16 FoD program points since the event ends tomorrow.........Took a couple hours. Sure definitely was a little lucky too with a disconnect W, and a couple quit Ws with a lead. 5 wins.

As much as I have sincere disdain for trying to hit online and not being able to time up just about anything with good placement whatsoever in addition to in my opinion having a very underwhelming team for this event having 0 All Star players, and 0 Stage 2 legend diamonds.........Another example of a self proclaimed not good player got it done. If you're reading this.......It's possible!!!!!!!!!!!

Neither does Rob Manfred aka the Commisioner of Major League Baseball imo, but here we are

I have no earthly idea what to do. Some context..........

I started playing about a couple months ago so I'm pretty far behind on player programs, having boss programs finished (work limits me severely with play time), and im still coming along slowly with moments for topps now, potm etc etc.

Obviously I know he is the most expensive "gatekeeper" to Mantle, and this is legit the first time I've ever had a Troutesque pull from packs since I started playing in 17. I don't really know what cards I'd want if I sold him, but 270k on top of the 50k I have could open up so many possibilities for buying a few sick cards, or my line of thinking finishing a ton of teams for the ls collection, but at the cost of losing the most expensive key...........

Im thinking I just wanna hold on to him for the time being without locking him into anything, but I really don't know.

If you were in my shoes what would you do?

Congratulations. Send some of that good luck my way, will you?

The pack odds for you no longer matter. Diamonds. Diamonds everywhere. I command thee

Just an update for everybody...........Considering Mantle wasn't going to happen for me...........I sold him and made more stubs than I've ever seen in my life. Don't regret it

Thank you for all of your input!

Kevin Gohd just cause he makes me laugh. I've never wanted somebody to go 12-0 so bad in br

@the_dragon1912 said in Nico Hoerner:

Magglio Ordonez 2007 silver slugger is my number 1 request. After that I will settle for a Spencer Torkelson future stars card, Lou Whitaker, Or Hank Greenberg

Sweet Lou is so criminally underrated. What about Cecil Fielder?

This game is officially no longer fun to play.

I had probably the worst time trying to figure it out, and trying to pick up the timing between all the pitches/different pitchers in the game, but once you get it down it's like some freak muscle memory stuff that doesn't go away! Online or off like once you get it all down it's actually so much fun.

I might not be saying anything people don't already know, but the 42 Pedro throws perfect pitches every time. Crazy.

Man oh man. Headliners have been a thing since 19' right? I've never actually bought a single one until I caved with Set 15 this year before it switched out today. Lifelong Clevelander. A sig series Santana where its catching as his prime position? Pretty solid #s other than speed?

I caved. Bought the 5. 4th pack low and behold he was there. 5th pack had the A's uni. Completely marking out.

I've heard the headliner horror stories on pack luck, and odds so I know this is probably some serious luck I would imagine

Has anybody used him online yet? If so thoughts and opinions?

@peuswahboy_psn said in SDS calls you get to make 3 cards....what are they?:

99 Signature Darryl Strawberry
99 Awards Dwight Gooden
99 Sidd Finch

Dude Sidd Finch would be like a 125 overall. Like that velo
