@krazy-kajun77 said in 97 Yordan POTM:

Funny since Schwarber was legit named player of the month yet they give the in game honor to another player sounds about right. Can't see me diving in for just another outfielder since it's already a crowded position as is.

Yordon was also named player of the month for the AL

Also your argument if Schwarber was the lightning card would you have grinded for it cause if so your argument about Alverz is flawed cause Schwarber would be just another outfielder as well

Schwarber also got a lightning card last year, there was no way they were going to give him another one this year. Either way, Yordan was better in June to begin with.

@hikes83_psn said in 99 FS Wander Franco Inning boss:

I bet anything all 3 bosses are switch hitters. Last year they did it with Roberts/Victorino/Chipper and with the event being switch hitters coupled with the Franco reveal, it seems like a logical theory

This makes almost too much sense, I can see this happening. What would blow my mind would be the return of that godly Beltran card from 17. I know its highly unlikely, but one can dream.

@djpearl23_psn said in Trammell HR moment:

I got it fairly quickly with the training wheels (Directional) on and power swinging.

Ah, using zone. But goddamn I'm about to switch lol

Hahahah I hate directional, but I find it essential to doing moments with low power guys to avoid wasting an hour trying it on zone.

I absolutely cannot stand 3 hit moments. I can get 3 hits if they would maybe throw more than 2 strikes across 4 at bats.

It’s just hilarious because I can think of a few extreme moments that are easier than this one.

@samguenther1987_PSN

God awful moment. We have 60 different versions of some mediocre players but we have literally 1 Mantle card in the entire game and it’s mid August. This dump of a stadium is impossible to hit a home run in and right center has a fence that a toddler could leap over, anytime I hit a ball there it’s a ground rule double. This moment is a perfect encapsulation of how this game as a whole was this year. End rant.

@samguenther1987 said in 7th inning program guesses:

That's a good point, hmm I'm not sure then. I was basing that off of the fact that we have had 1 of the new legends in almost all the programs so far.

1st - Helton
2nd - the exception so far
3rd - Roberts and Victorino
4th - Ellsbury
5th - Ortiz and Rivera
6th - Maddux

Ellsbury isn't a new legend.

@xM1SFiiT said in Topps Now collection and price:

I just sold the bichette because he was sitting there in the collection but now this thread has me thinking of buying back. I don’t see why we would need tops now cards for the new lightning card though? We never have before

I am fairly certain that last year you needed a combo of topps now and POTM cards to get the lightning card.

@Original_Quad said in STANTON:

Correa had a 95 before this, and the stats are pretty much the same except for small boosts. Stanton having a 97 and not getting a postseason card doesn’t stand up really

Yeah and Correa also has the FOTF card. I don't even think Astros fans wanted another Correa card, haha.

I love this idea and I hope Arrieta is a part of the cubs, been waiting for that card all year. I can't believe there isn't even a firm date for TA4 yet, hopefully it comes before the end of the month.

@SchnauzerFace said in Was the RIB program a failure?:

The fact that these cards are free and easy to get, but the high tier cards (Goldy, Jones, Smith, etc) are still nowhere near QS makes me wonder if people just aren’t even bothering with the whole RIB thing. The conquest map is so cramped that it basically requires a couple steal rounds. So a runthrough ends up being 9-10 games instead of just the 6 strongholds. And showdown just sucks. Also, a lot of the awards are pretty bland, and stubs are so easy to come by that it seems like more effort than it’s worth for a 20K card.

Has anyone done it more than even one or two times? I did it twice, but at this point I’m probably just gonna buy the few cards that I’m halfway interested in.

I've played it probably 25 times and have never done any steal rounds. I usually play the White Sox and A's on all-star and then just keep skipping turns until I have enough fans to bang it out on rookie.

I got it fairly quickly with the training wheels (Directional) on and power swinging.

Pretty sure in the last stream they said the next program would only be 1 boss and that we would all want him. I cant remember if they also said new legend, but if they did I am going with Bo Jackson.

my god you guys are a broken [censored] record.

I realize it is a pain to see if you are not a fan of the Cardinals and it's cool to insult Cardinal fans but let's be honest, if Goldy played for any other team, then that teams fans would be complaining just as much. Nobody likes to see worthy players on their favorite team snubbed.

It will pass once it has been vented.

Kind of like Pujols, notice in his final year he is not getting NEAR the amount of red carpets in away games that Jeter or Ortiz got their final years, and he is a superior hitter to both, with far superior numbers.

Reason: Market

I didn't even think about this until an analyst brought it up on MLB Net, they would have buildings and statues if Pujols played in NY his career

In what world does Pujols have "far superior" numbers to Jeter?

Power numbers, sure. But to say he's "far superior" to Jeter is a ludicrous statement.

In the real world. I have watched and played baseball since the 70's. Cabrera and Pujols are two of the best hitters I have ever seen.

Jeter would have been nothing had he not played in NY. One of the most over-rated players ever. Wasn't even the best SS on his own team. A-Rod was a far superior defensive player.
Not in his own division. Nomar was far better. If you don't know this, your baseball knowledge is severely lacking.

Pretty sure his defense has nothing to do with his ability as a hitter but ok. Everyone chiming in here with their BS opinion about Pujols being "far superior" and no one has provided a single statistic to support that statement. And im talking actual batting statistics....not the stat nerd "what-if" numbers. ACTUAL statistics.

Pujols had arguably the best 10 year stretch of any baseball player in the history of the sport, not sure what else you need. Are you not old enough to have remembered those years? Jeter isn't even in the same conversation as Pujols stat wise.

@doihearbossmusic_mlbts said in Trout, its been real bruh!:

@schnauzerface said in Trout, its been real bruh!:

3-year average my buttocks.

Yeah that 3 years is non-sense. They keep jumping Areenado back and forth on 90 based on a few weeks. Cant have the Cardinals with 2 90 cards noooo sirrree

I chuckle everytime I see someone defend roster updates with that obvious lie. Arenado is a perfect example.

@ericulous1_psn said in FREE Home Run Derby X pack:

The Todd-Father. Is he another participant?

No, its only the 4 guys that we got cards for that are participating in the actual event tomorrow in London.

These are not moments, they are basically the stupid situations they used to fill the showdowns with when they first started that mode. Another god awful idea in a year stuffed with them.

@ladyswampfox_xbl said in Cleveland Gaurdians:

Guardians? Guardians of what, exactly? I feel like there's a better name they could use... oh, that's right! Cleveland Indians!

I'm not even an Indians fan and it sucks. Now I have to deal with this PC name every time my Tigers play them—being in the same division, it will be all the time.

I despise it when long history is just thrown out the window because it doesn't conform to today's standards. It's like saying that George Washington was a terrible leader because he didn't practice good dental hygiene. It is unfair to judge the past that way. I understand the discontinuation of the Chief Wahoo logo (pardon my usage of the term, I'm just saying it to be specific and clear), but this name change feels like stripping the Indians of their storied legacy. Feels like they're a brand new team with nothing to their name now.

I think one of the problems with the name itself is that we weren't even calling them what they were. They're not Indians, they're native americans.
Natives imo would of been a better name for the team, but I know they don't want to represent a group of people.

Believe it or not all words are made up. They probably called them that because when they got over here and asked they didn’t know they were Native Americans until somebody told them they were. They probably didn’t even know they lived in America tbh with the low level education system they had.

It takes “low level education” on a bigger scale to say something that contradicts your own argument in the same breath. This statement was beyond stupid

I am still trying to figure out who told them that they were native americans, maybe it was the master of genocide, Topher Columbus.

anyone know who went Diamond

Machado, Darvish, Giolito and Trea Turner.

@Warpedzilla said in I need help getting the error " An unhandled server exception occurred ":

Anyone else still getting these? Been happening pretty frequently today.

Yep, been getting them a lot the last hour. Haven’t seen this error since the show 18.

Yeah there definitely was one and I loved pitching with it. Cant remember if that was 17 or 18 or both.
