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).

Hitting (1st, .286 avg.)
On-base percentage (1st, .380)
Slugging percentage (1st, .484)
OPS (1st, .864)
Runs scored (1st, 35)
Hits (1st, 52)
Walks (1st, 29)
Multi-hit games (1st, 14)
Times on base (1st, 81)
Total bases (1st, 88)
FanGraphs WAR (1st, 1.9)
Home runs (tied for 1st, 11)
RBI (2nd, 28)
Extra-base hits (tied for 2nd, 14)

Middle Reliever John Smoltz

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.

@TheTyGuy05 said in Kyle Lewis unanimous AL ROY:

If Robert won I also would’ve had a meltdown.

I had previously threatened a ban worthy tantrum full of censored words if Robert won. Good to see I would’ve had backup.

I’m a lawyer. Save the jokes please.

Edgar Martinez and I don’t care just give me Edgar finally. He’s a new HOF member and so far he’s only got one 90 card that’s been out for months.

@parasite21 said in Headliner Set 46:

It’s gonna be another brave player because we need more! There are only about 195 cards from that team

Just another John Smoltz...this time a 97 instead of 96 or 99

We don’t have a long reliever Smoltz yet.

@raesONE said in Luis Robert update SDS:

Are we gonna see a tantrum when Robert ends up winning AL ROY?

It won’t happen. Robert has been too bad in September. But yes, if it did, it’s fair to say you would see a fairly epic meltdown.

I can’t imagine he jumps from bronze to diamond. Especially since he’ll get a 99 postseason card anyway. I bet he jumps to just below it though, like 83 or 84 gold range.

Nido. After playing his moment there was a O% chance I would ever take that card.

This year’s game is trash until Kyle Lewis goes gold or I get a Kelenic future star.

Once that happens I will agree that the cards have been pretty good this year. Although I am not a huge fan of having to wait until September or October for a high end Griffey (HRD version doesn’t count) and Edgar Martinez.

In all seriousness I have a bit of a different perspective than most because I only play offline. But even offline there has been enough to keep me occupied for 6 months so far.

These monthly programs offer the perfect comparison. I actually enjoyed doing the mini grinds with the monthly players. And words can’t express how much I hate the moments part of the program.

Why not offer more of both options so those of us that enjoy the grinds more can do them and the sick people that like moments can do those instead?
