I don't care about that Willi Castro card in the slightest but I do have to say that making the inning bosses 92 overalls and not even making them the best cards released that day is a really bad look.
The inning bosses should not be outclassed so quickly.

promised to not do it AND YOU STILL DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please point us to where they made that promise because I certainly don't remember it. While I am not a fan of all the packs and the cards hidden in packs I feel sorry for you if 93 Willi Castro is the difference between winning and losing

@dbub_PSN that’s certainly not a quote from me, and your take is still selfish.
Not from me either.
@dbub_PSN said in Why Are We Getting Dupe No-Sell Cornerstone Cards?:
But...too bad for them. Should have started earlier.
Wow, that is an extremely selfish take.
"Others should miss out on the first three cornerstone cards because I don't want a duplicate No Sell card in my inventory".
I have been using one in Play VS CPU as recently as yesterday.
They have been doing that for several years now. If they are going to give a player that type of contact and power and in this case still give them good fielding then they have to tank his attributes in other areas. Vision is their favorite attribute to tank (Although Ozzie Smith had his Defense docked
That is what kind of sucks about the power curve. So many cards have had other areas nerfed to raise their batting stats. They gave 88 Mark McGwire 33 vision, the lowest of any diamond in the game. Only one gold has vision of 33 or less and that is pre-order version of Elly.
@yankblan_PSN said in Boy, it's a good thing we got another Dodger and Yankee.:
They gave cards to Pirates, Marlins, Cleveland, Twins, Royals… can’t complain about variety other than Gagne/Turner/Williams
Pirates were 12th in the card count prior to today
Marlins were 21st
Cleveland 23rd
Twins 27th
Royals 28th
Rockies 29th (They gat a Story card)
So they did spread the love to the lower half of the teams today. Starting to feel sorry for KevinGohD and other Blue Jay fans though as they are now in sole possession of last place. I think the Yankees now do have 3 times the number of cards.
I really feel like they could afford to drop a few more card in the XP path.
Well they have not reached the point yet where those teams have 3 times the number of cards the poorest teams have.
Third Boss is 2004 92 Eric Gagne
It's just me I am sure, but I have rarely been less motivated.
First Boss is 92 Bernie Williams.
Second is 2020 92 Trevor Story
@Pergo_MLBTS said in Card Reveals for May 9th (3rd Inning):
Boss choice packs have been moved up to 245k and 400k in the 3rd Inning reward path so we'll be getting those much sooner. A very welcome change for sure.
They probably saw how many of us struggled in the last inning. I did not even make it to a Boss pack last inning.
Add 3rd Inning Reward path card 91 Matt Cain to the first post.

I blame all of you for the blizzard that I currently have
Yu have to tell us the flavor! I'm living vicariously through yu.
There is no picture that I can post but there weekend classic post showed a 91 Ryne Sandberg
Arrghh, stop talking about Dairy Queen. I have one literally a minute from my house and got a little to accustomed to evening Blizzards multiple times a week. I started a diet on May 1st (7.3 pounds down so far) and have, for now sworn off sweet treats but it ain't easy and I have been craving some ice cream the last few nights.
But when I was buying Blizzards I was partaking of their limited time Dipped Strawberry Cheesecake Blizzard and S'mores blizzard. My normal go to ones are Oreo (no mint please) and Butterfinger
@dbub_PSN said in Card Reveals for May 9th (3rd Inning):
Yikes...hopefully the other card reveals are more exciting than these. 🥱
I assume they are saving any reveal that they think is worthwhile for the stream.
Added the Cornerstone reveals
I have no idea and won't guess but I was thinking this morning that we have not seen Lou Brock in any form yet. That said, the Cardinals have been well represented in the first few inning's reward paths and I highly doubt or expect to see them at all for a few more innings at least.
I am not going to get too deep into this debate. I will say that so far, my opinion of Diamond Quest has not been the most positive. As a veteran player who does not spend as much time playing the game as others on the forum I am not willing to gamble my play time on a mode where my time investment might not pay off.
I understand odds. I have not purchased any pack for stubs in years because I understand odds. It is because I understand odds and realize that a 50% or 60% chance to win a reward could pretty easily result in me not winning the reward in multiple attempts that I am not willing to play it, at least so far.
I have said it before and I still believe it, MLB 23 and MLB 24 were much friendlier to the more casual players. The more dedicated players hated that. This year, I believe, the pendulum has swung pretty far in the other direction.
I do applaud SDS for coming up with a new mode though, even if I have not particularly enjoyed it.
@yankblan_PSN said in Ozzie Smith!:
@Dolenz_PSN great thank you! Was it a Jack McDowell at Yankee Stadium gesture? (Speaking of which, the early-mid 90s White Sox need more representation).
I honestly don't know, but I am guessing it wasn't the recent Tommy Pham gesture.
