Prime Brian Roberts. His gold card didn't do well for me, but took his Prime since I'm an Os fan. No regrets, sneaky pop, owns second base for me. 99 Jackie is either LF or 3B with Sandberg. Just got Biggio and slotted him at catcher. Nothing can move Roberts out of my lineup.

The Cruz moments were an apology for the Brandon Phillips moments. SDS did us a solid with them.

For me, it's Matt Kemp. Sometimes I feel disappointed in his card. I get great PCI placement and good timing, but a lot warning track fly outs or line drives straight to LF. Still using him, hoping the outcomes start to balance.

The chase clue to me means someone to pair with Mantle. 1961 Roger Maris. Chased the Babes record with Mantle. A nice bookend. 125 125 power, SDS will make up the other stats to rationalize the card.

Anthony Santander has been legit for my Os. I think he's ties for league lead in extra base hits plus he's got an 18 game hitting streak. He's only a silver so he's primed for a special one time diamond card.

This may just be personal preference, but AS Wade Boggs is great for a gold. No power, but everything finds a gap or falls in front of the OF.

I would agree with this post. I remember (when being able to play) at the beginning of the game hitting balls over players heads and routinely getting doubles. The game felt fresh and exciting. Now it's all flyouts or HRs. I don't play online, but against the CPU, hitting feels a little stagnant unless you have power

Also on this day in history, Seattle Mariners Joe Random recorded a single and double against the Chicago White Sox. It was historic.

Hello,

I'm still grinding for Mickey. I lack Scherzer, Degrom, and Arenado. I have 267,000 in stubs. I have my 5th inning choice pack unopened and I have Reggie/Larkin/Posey pack unopened. I'm thinking of choosing the highest betweeno, Ortiz, or Walker and selling to complete the collection. But the Larry walker card looks so tantalizing. Currently in RF I have HR Derby Stanton (who I've fallen in love with) but he's sellable as I like defense and speed. I've got lighting Cody in LF, Trout in CF. At SS I had the first Rollins, but I'm flipping between lighting Correa or Torres. Biggio at catcher. Prime Roberta at second and staying. I've really started to enjoy Yankees reward Giambi at first. But again speed. Thought about sliding Cody to first and keep Larry. Or sell Larry take Reggie. But I hear Larkin rips. Can I please get a little advice or opinion on a direction?
Thanks all!

@over50beatdown said in What's your favorite mode in DD?:

3-inning Events are a blast and less tedious than a nine-inning RS grind, but I play TA and conquest the most; I cycle through with theme teams. 6-10 games, adjust lineups/rotations and you get a synergy; some teams are clearly more powerful than others. I had a hell of a time getting the Tigers and Royals to gel consistently but the Marlins, Rays and Mariners were amazing. TA helped a lot; I'm at 92% for TA3.

The Marlins can put together some nice rallies with their live series and miggy and Sheffield. They are fun to grind games for affinity. Not a lot of HR, but a lot of 3-5 hit innings with the ball in play.

@mitchhammond24 said in Hitting this year was overall a slot machine:

It is very annoying, but I think constant very early and very late foul balls are the bigger issue

I agree. If SDS wants realism, very early and very late should be swing and misses.

I would do a round of batting practice with him, see if his swing feels comfortable to you. Although the way Trea Turner is hitting, he may get an upgrade and be cheaper. Plus great speed.
