It would be a GREAT thing if you could get a few Chase cards by doing a long grind, instead of having to pull them or pay a ton.
I dont see that happening regularly...but it sure would be swell
If they did decide to move to this model going forward, it would generate a TON of much needed goodwill.
I pulled LS Wheeler (already had) and Cityscapes Chapman. Took Chapman.
Also getting the error when logging in. Android phone if it's helpful.
Zach Neto for me. Poor Nationals pitching was the victim. Neto has a great swing.
Same thing happened when I put Blaze Alexander at his secondary of 2b. Also, a pitcher with 100 contact vs L showed as 0 vs L on the player compare screen.

There is nothing more annoying then getting solid contact and seeing the OFs turn and take off toward the wall only to calmly slow up and catch it at the warning track with ease.
I am a firm believer that rookie moments are more difficult then veteran and allstar moments.
I agree with this 100%. Biggest issue for me seems to be having missions on Rookie, with sinker pitchers. You can't get underneath the ball enough, so there's a lot of lineouts to the pitcher and second baseman.
Yep Yankee greats, like Thurmon Munson, have always looked GQ.
Not very many people have offered to put him up for sale, being so new. The max amount you can pay for a common is 2500. You just have place your order and wait your turn. I was in the same boat Friday night, and then order complete Saturday morning.
@ibonafidescrub_ said in Certain batter swings slower to inside pitches?:
I heard Ramone talk in the past stream about Murray’s smooth swing. Unreal that they say now swings don’t matter.
To be fair it was two years ago I think. I feel they were responding to criticism of cards and saying the swing doesn't matter. I heard them praising Murray's swing too and raised an eyebrow. In theory it shouldn't if you swing(press x) in the correct part of the timing window, the numbers should calculate the result. The animation is just an animation.
SDS has said in the past swings don't matter. But I don't buy it. There are players I lay off inside pitches with, Ripken, Piazza, etc and then there are some I look for inside pitches, Sheffield, Yordana Alvarez. It could be an individual batters timing window also. I don't know what affects that, if anything, but I feel that's where vision comes into play.
@snakeeyes187_psn said in SDS calls you get to make 3 cards....what are they?:
Josh Gibson sig
Satchel Paige sig
Canseco 40/40
McGwire '87 Breakout
Niiiiiice! A Satchel Paige card would be guaranteed stub sales from me. Good choices my man.
Chris Hoiles breakout or second half hero
Tim Lincecum Cy Young, Prime, or Signature Series
Mike Mussina Breakout

I've done the same except unfortunately not in the same attempt so far.
I hate ballplayer moments the worse. I've done nothing with him. And I probably won't all year.

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
As an O's fan he was my favorite pitcher when here. His inconsistency was maddening though. His problem while in Baltimore was the third strike and walks. He could get someone 0-2 or 1-2 easy and quickly. Then he nibbled and walked guys and then a grooved fastball happened with men on base. Plus I thin Aaron Judge lives in his head. I miss him and hope he continues his success.
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.
@capt_awesome34 said in second baseman:
Dee Strange Gordon is the best 2B and lead off hitter a hit machine and SB machine
Marlins were the second collection I completed just for this card.
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.
@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.
