He was your hero but you spelled his name wrong?

Sorry for those of you looking forward to a ban worthy meltdown, but the writers did the right thing and it wasn’t even close.

Send sds a private message with screenshots of the offense (e.g. tons of 0-0 final scores) this is obvious denial of service activity and can not only lead to being permabanned but can be referred to fbi for further investigation and criminal prosecution. This is coming from a cyber security expert not a raging gamer.

I’m like 95% sure this is a joke but 5% of me is scared this person is serious.

If he is doing DDOS to boot opponents offline then he’ll be facing legal consequences, as stupid as it may look like DDOSing people is ilegal and penalized with prison time.

Let me just stop you right there. I’ve worked for over a decade as a federal prosecutor and I can assure you that there isn’t an FBI office anywhere in the country that is going waste the manpower to investigate (nor is there a US Attorneys office anywhere in the country that would waste the resources to prosecute) someone for bumping individual players offline so they can win a Justin Verlander card in a MLB Show event. So let’s just stop with this nonsense. Perhaps you might anger SDS and they may impose a ban of some sort but there is a 0% chance of it going past that.

He’s now hitting .220 for the year and .085 (6 for 70 with 30Ks and 1 XBH) for the month of September. I dare you to keep him gold on this update....

How’s Kyle Lewis doing you ask? Well, these are his stats as of two days ago compared to all AL rookies (including Robert).

Eventually You have to do the right thing SDS. It’s getting absurd.

Robert is an 82 and has moved up every week (even though in most categories he’s gotten worse as the weeks have gone on). And Lewis is still a 75.

Kyle Lewis
.293/.389/.488/.877, 48H, 2 2B, 10HR, 34R, 27RBI, 27BB, 51K, 3/3 SB, .376 wOBA, 144 wRC+.

Luis Robert
.258/.318/.516/.834, 41H, 8 2B, 11HR, 28R, 28RBI, 14BB, 55K, 6/8 SB, .350 wOBA, 123 wRC+.

@raesONE said in Luis Robert has completely fallen apart:

You still salty that Kyle Lewis isn't given as much attention and love as Robert?

Yes !! So I will continue to bring it up. They finally did Lewis right on his defense last update and bumped him from the 50s to an 80. But he’s running away with the ROY award so there’s no reason he should be silver and Robert gold.

Don’t forget the runner on first that the pitcher throws over to 5 times.

Griffey!!!

Those were exclamation points of hope not actual knowledge

Agreed. the final cards in the program should be 99 Seagar and 99 Arozarena.

I’m no Dodgers fan but I’m watching the game and I just randomly decided to check his speed. His sprint speed is in the 91st percentile in MLB yet he is a 73 speed in the game. Seems like SDS should fix that. Just saying.

Usually it goes up to at least 10.

@savefarris_psn said in New 12-0 player:

Question for those at the console: any new BR Silver/Gold players?

Yes. You can see which ones on the new app if you go to inventory and then filter by not owned. That’s how I found them.

It’s probably just me but I’m not even a little excited about this Arenado. He definitely won’t make my lineup. I hoped for more from a flawless this late in the cycle.

@bob_loblaw1984 said in Replace Chipper?:

I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion, but is anyone else considering this? I’ve done well with him and have at P5, but those vs. RHP attributes don’t look as good this late in the cycle. Brett, Boggs, Miggy, Vlad all look tempting. Might try platooning with Brett for a while.

I moved chipper to the bench out a while ago.

I hate how they are trying to force people to do showdowns now in these programs. First the Clemente one where you had to either play online or do the showdown and now this one. The card isn’t any better than some of the TA4 cards so this will be a pass for me.

If my fellow Mariners fans want to complain about a Mariner getting screwed on a rating, JP’s defense is criminally underrated. There is simply no way he should only be an 80. The guy won a gold glove there last year and was just rated the best defensive shortstop in the AL by a survey of MLB execs.

@lberrybats77_psn said in Kyle Seager:

Don’t get me wrong, Kyle seager has been the only good thing in Seattle that has stuck around through the years without being traded away and I wish his career would have taken off after his all star season, it just slowly has been crashing down

Yeah as a Mariner fan that watches a lot of games I have to agree with this. I love the passion of the guy trying to argue Kyle into a gold but if we are being honest he’s basically a one tool player at this point. His power and clutch ratings deserve to be high but that’s about it. I would argue Ty France and JP Crawford deserve gold much more than he does.

For what it’s worth on the video stream announcing the Mo one I believe it was they said there will be a couple more collections. Since there has only been the Mookie collection since then that makes me confident there will be another collection.

As a Mariner fan I have to agree. Kyle has become basically a one tool player. He has great power numbers this year, and he’s definitely been clutch, but everything else offensively is below average. Then add to that he’s basically a replacement level defensive player and making him gold is a tough sell. JP Crawford to gold is the much better argument.
