....Change my mind.

I know its a bit hyperbolic , but Ive completed all TA and conquest maps along with the other random Ballin packs.

At least 50 ive ripped with 0 diamonds...1:15 eyeroll...just give me my gold 80 and move on.

Annnnnnd its Mike Trout....1231 stubs...only 389,000 left to go .

@lazy_toast_psn said in POTM Collection for Buxton????:

I sold them all and bought Acuna. Rather have him anyway and complete collections. I have Vlad, Ohtani, and Burnes. That’s all I wanted

Thats exactly what Im thinking of doing. There will be better options in the OF...only draw back is they may drop a collection of POM for a juiced POM card like Belly last year

bad take

LOL...best show yet

These super low diamond live series cards across the board. Crazy everyone is selling off right now just to get Delgado.

Good news---Sitting on 215 K stubs with only 5 cards left to get for Mantle....4 for Sheffield and 1 for Biggio.

Bad News --- Arenado - Degrom - Cole - Yelich - Scherzer

Thats around 635 K stubs for those 5 cards
So -215 is 420

Any advice or strategies for the last 420K? Aside from purchasing?
Ive been grinding Team Affinity's for the free packs, but I swear the game knows Im close b/c I havent got a diamond pull in weeks in the ballin is a habit packs or the 12 packs per team(which I completed 5 so far) that is 60 free packs and 5 Ballin is a Habut packs and 0 diamonds to sell. Anything to do that Im not already?

Just to preface I’ve played the show since 15 and have made WS yearly...I stopped playing 20 last year bc grad school got busy and didn’t pick it back up till yesterday...and I could NOT catch up to the speed. Couldn’t believe 9 months ... i was debating just quitting tonight bc I was struggling on showdown . Could not get the timing...it was too fast 4 the first time in my life and was veteran/all star .

Then my smart brain kicked in...I’ve been playing on monitor till this year. Got a sick lg oled and know it’s top of the line. Checked my settings and was on HDR standard. Switched it over to game, and apparently the refresh rates are extremely different bc I’m out in front of 99 like I used to on monitor...so long story short - check those settings boys. Bc I was about to hang it up

I switched to Rocket League...bit ridiculous

An unhandled server exception occurred....even at midnight smh

So Walker Buehler has given up 51 hits in 52.2 innings
K. Gausman has given up 53 hits in 56 innings

Buehler H/9 = 79
Gausman H/9 = 69

Make it make sense

I sold my 5 Aaron Judges @ 50k ... now is 100k+ ....fml

Bad servers plus 97+ mph sinkers are unhittable

Better fielder than Arenado,Crawford
Better hitter than Tucker, Soto, Ohtani, Vlad Jr
Better wRC+ than Arenado,Cron,Edman, Vladdy Jr,Ohtani,Olsen

Hitting like a gold
Fielding like a diamond

.....and is a silver Overall

Jeremy Pena deserves better

Best pitcher in baseball by all metrics got -3 on his H/9. Sub 1 FIP. Sub 2 xFip.

But Verlander gets a +2 overall with +3 Fip and XFip, striking out fewer batters and walking more ... +2.

K/9 are both at 72......Verlander is at a 7.97 K/9.....Gausman is at 10.89

That makes little to no sense whatsoever

Who are you calling the best pitcher in baseball

Through 45 innings pitched this year....Gausman hands down

Kevin Gausman
12th in ERA
8th in K/9
25th in WAR
15th in WHIP

So what are you basing your best pitcher in baseball argument on? Fandom?

Yo.....

1st in WAR ... 0.8 ahead of 2nd place (Rodon)
12th in ERA at 2.40
(better than Max Scherzer 90 , Gerritt Cole 87, and Walker Buehler 85)
2nd in XFip (Rodon 1st)
1st in Fip (Sub 1, which is unheard of)
1 of 3 SP to not give up a HR yet
1st in BB/9
15th in WHIP ( You clown ... his WHIP is sub 1 and players 4th-21st rank is 0.89-1.02 splitting nut hairs)
2nd in SIERA

If you want me to say not the best with old school metrics then sure hes not been the 'best'...but using advanced stats ...yea......

As I said the best pitcher this season.

Overall statistics are eerily very similar to Corbin Burnes 90...while Gausman is at 85.

Look at the stats chief

But Verlander gets a +2 overall with +3 Fip and XFip, striking out fewer batters and walking more ... +2.
