“Confirm Restart” is what they should’ve called the 7 TB moment... cuz that’s all I been hitting for the better part of an hour on that thing since coming home from work. Frustrating AF

Austin Meadows' swing is underrated.
Switched to his swing w/ my cap and absolutely love it... from both sides of the plate.

Gotta go with what you're most comfortable with. You may like the stance but not the swing (or vice-versa). Try a few, give each a decent sample size and roll with what's working... til it's not.

Personally, I've liked => Meadows, Moncada, Mondesi, Tatis, Chipper, Gwynn and a few others. But that's way more about the swings (compact & quick) than the stances.

Big Hurt ==>> what it's gon feel like deciding who plays at 1B between Frank, Babe, Stan, Thome, Belli, Thames, etc.......

@SHOW_TIME_ryan said in All the shiny new cards and flash sales are fine but....:

They already made money from us when we bought the game. Players are still buying stubs to play this trash.

No reason for them to fix what we want. They’ll promise us the issues are fixed next year and the process will start all over.

That's what I'm starting to believe. Very little incentive for issues getting fixed.

BUT..... the MLB Players Lg is growing in popularity and the embarrassment of the game's failures is growing along w/ it. I'll tune into Snell's Twitch just hoping for some moronic development to occur, costing a big W. It's already happening. Maybe the pressure to revert back to Day One will be overwhelming soon.

Brujan... so well-balanced w/ sneaky pop.
Just can't hit consistently enough w/ Ryno, Roberts, McNeil, Merrifield, etc. to unseat him.

Conquest for the grinds and hidden rewards 1st time thru, but I do like the Showdowns & BR for being able to try out some of the diamond players I don't have. MTO isn't as much fun after you've completed it with your fave team.

I'm cool w/ Legends and so-called Future Stars alike. Do think the glorification of most of the FS is getting outta hand tho.

But really just wanna see more 'exciting' - if not controversial - Legends.
IDK bout rights-n-licenses-n-such, but releasing a 80s/90s/00s Tandem Series would be fun: Gooden/Strawberry, Canseco/McGwire, Bonds/Bonilla (or Kent), Belle/Thome (or Manny), Big Unit/Schilling, Mattingly/Winfield, Ripken/Palmeiro, etc.

I'm hyped... and I haven't even seen his hitting attributes yet.

Lvl 90 so I gotta make a decision soon. It's between Larkin, Ryno & Reggie for me.

Leaning Larkin. Currently using 78-Mondesi as my #8 hitter (prefer his spd/def over 81-Tatis), so Larkin would be a nice upgrade.

Like Ryno but I'm hitting like .450 w/ 84-Xavier Edwards at top of my lineup and 83-Albies backing him up.

Would love to just plop Reggie in the middle of my lineup w/ all that PWR, but I value defense in RF. Rather keep 86-Mantle there for now and eventually get Judge to go w/ Trout & Grandy/Stanton. Minoso's card is intriguing too.

I'd like to see Brandon "WOW" Lowe make the jump from Bronze 78 to Gold 80. Lowe's still whiffing enough to keep his VIS attribute pretty low, but he's currently hitting .300, crushing LHP and becoming an XBH machine... clearly TB's most dangerous hitter besides Meadows. He should also gain OF eligibility by the end of Aug at his current pace (1/4 of his 16 starts were in -- OF, 3 LF & 1 RF).

Cycling between K Marte, Belli & Meadows

11-2... played at Sportsman.

Was finally able to knock Kluber out in the 5th frame thanks to a 3-run bomb by Taylor Trammell which made it 5-0. Bombs by Cap, Belli and J-Ram (off McGee and Dibble) in the later innings put the game out of reach.

Maddux => 7 scoreless...
Morton => perfect 8th...
E Diaz => wrapped up the 9th but not before serving up a hanging slider that E Banks promptly parked for a 2-run tank.

Sig Lofton or Cap... but J-Roll is making a serious case

Still no Shogo Akiyama

Yep... kinda odd

Just happy to mention that he was finally added as part of the latest roster update (Bronze 68)... that's all.

I fully expect Glasnow to make the jump to Gold status w/in the next couple updates. It was only 4 frames but dude was nasty AF in his 1st start (9 Ks).

jeez, it might be worth it to buy the headliner packs in the hope of getting this card. His for sale price is insane right now, wow!!

Wait a week and buy him. Grind for the other lefty starter Paxton now!

Yah, I just mean if you open 5 headliners, get him, and sell him today, guaranteed 50k stub profit. I won't buy those packs, but its enticing!

And I am a little surprised to see him going so high, with 4 pitch selection...

I repeat NEVER BUY PACKS! 1:10 chance at a diamond which will probably not even give you many stubs back

Normally don't buy these packs at all. But... it's 2-way McKay so I was enticed enough to rip open one. No dice. Just a gold Votto (sold for 1K).

McKay's price is currently dropping fast tho.

Exactly...35k down da drain @WarriorsAreCool7

35k down the drain...@WarriorsAreCool7 you are the only person I know that gets that lucky on packs!

1 pack => 7500 down the drain. Actually 6500 after selling the gold.
