Kenny Lofton, already have all the bosses,, free stubs. Soooo, not the best, but 45k free stubs no less. I have yet to use his card this year so maybe tonight, I'll throw him in just because he was the secret Santa gift or whatever this is.

Schwarber is one of those that was a W for almost everyone but I could never really get it going with him. But what a valuable card with C as a secondary and he has an awesome swing.
I always forget about Posada but his card is sneaky good too. And I love that someone gave Gary Carter some love.

The St. Louis Cardinals and the Dodgers. Mainly Goldy and Arenado, and Pollock and Mookie Betts.
Urias and I do not get along.

@chuckclc_psn said in 100% TA 5:
So who all has 100% these yet? I got all the players within the first 24 hours, but I am just now finishing them all to 100%. Once I got the players I didnt bother doing anything else towards the program except what just naturally happened through playing. It actually happened a lot faster than I though it would. The NL East is my last division and about to finish it now as I am about to start doing MLB Theme teams and I am starting in the NL East.
That's cool. What types of theme teams are you using? Do you build them by team, division?
I just finished 100% and now I'm finally going to use the Finest players. I tried to finish the program slowly because I knew it was the last one.

@savefarris_psn said in What is/was the longer grind? Immortals or Superfractor?:
Everything people have said in this thread was wrong:
- There wasn’t a paywall.
- There was no completing a percentage a month. (That was a separate, unrelated program.)
- Immortal-specific grinds were unlocked from the beginning of the game. Card-specific grinds were only unlocked later, but you could make about 50-70% progress on each immortal before Career Arc II dropped mid-year.
Lawyered!

I have to try that Brett card everyone raves about…
Brett has this uncanny ability to hit when I'm slumping and can blast off any time. He also hits to left center on inside pitches even when I'm jammed. He also has decent speed. I love Chipper and @Twisted-_-Tea-_PSN I just created a new roster with Manny, Trea, Trout and all the other brand new cards so he may jump up the list.

Add me, dirty shawnchez, and I'll give you a cheese-free, straight up game. I live for friendlies that aren't filled with Minute Maid park, 4pm July lighting, and bunts-bunts-bunts!
Just don't listen to his views on Albert Pujols and his Geriatric crime ring.....hahahaha, just kidding man. Merry Xmas and I'm always down for a friendly game. I Suck at hitting against human players but I'll give it the old college try.

@vk_ratliff_psn said in Best 3B in the Show:
It isn't Chipper anymore. The answer is this:
- 99 Finest Trea Turner
- 99 Finest Marcus Semien
- 99 POTM Corey Seager
- 99 Chipper
- 99 Wade Boggs, in an upset. I heard Wade Boggs could drink over 200 beers per flight to the next baseball town, and I believe it the way he slaps singles and doubles like a moustachiod Ichiro of yesteryear.
Honorable mention to Devers, whom won me a fantasy league with his excellent hitting, but whose cards I've yet to try.
Simien is who I use as third baseman because he has a bit better defense than Trea at third. I thought the question who was the best primary third baseman but I like where your minds at.
I didn't specify though I chose only primary 3B, but it's entirely up to you who you select. I like to see how diverse people's lineups are. I haven't used many of the program Finest cards as I wanted to drag that program out but I'm starting to integrate them and Semien is one I'm really excited about.

@ladyswampfox_xbl said in Weird quirks when playing the game.:
Offliner here.
I make sure my favorite pitchers have an ERA of 0.00, much to my own detriment.
I am also a strict follower of the traditional lineup structure. Two speedy guys bat first, followed by my best batter, power guy bats cleanup, followed by two more decent power/balanced bats including the catcher (who bats 6th). 7th hole goes to anyone really. Speedy guy bats 8th so that the free out (the pitcher) doesn’t totally ruin the inning.
I practice swing between almost every pitch. I don’t know why.
I take a one-step lead off first until the pitcher stops throwing over. Sometimes do this on second, if I know my runner can get back in time.
I go out of my way to avoid a double play if I have a runner on first and less than 2 outs. I hate, hate, HATE grounding into those.
I hate shifting. My defense has the traditional “straight up” alignment with normal depth at all times.
I despise that, in Moments, I have to bat with the pitcher when both teams are in the American League. It’s stupid and incorrect. So I intentionally strike out, out of spite. If only I could wear an oversized helmet while doing so.
It is imperative to me that I get at least one run in the first inning in conquest. The pitcher gets confidence quickly in that mode and it sucks sometimes.
This is a great post. Nice to know I'm not the only quirky person.

Brooooo, just stop playing online at the very least. I promise not every player is out to bone you. I get that certain types of play can be annoying but they aren't illegal. I have yet to play somebody who seemed like they were cheating. The few freeze offs I've been in, the other player quits before I get a chance to and if they don't, it's usually because they are smashing me. So I quit.
It's obvious you are very passionate about this game which I think most of us are but I'm really curious if you even like it at all.
Personally, I absolutely suck online but I still have fun and try to learn from superior players. I've also had people do me solids on BR and feed me fastballs down the middle for my mission guys, not that I ever expect that. But if you find online to be so toxic, just grind offline 99 (can't believe I just wrote that, please take my man card) and chill on online play. You don't need it for anything. I have every card in the game..........except Alomar!@$!%#!^#,$?@:÷,÷ zjdjevdhej!!!!!!......sorry, my inner completionist had a panic attack....and I played only 1 full season of BR and nothing else online.

at responses. SDS loves your loyalty. Enjoy same hitting physics next to year.
They love your loyalty to, anyone who has to say they are passing on something isn't serious, it's the quiet ones that are.
Exactly. Real Gangtas don't rap haha.

How did I forget postseason Corey Seager? If he had the speed he'd be number 1.
-
Alright, continuing the "copy SDS' twitter" trend, who is your best SS this year? You can do 1, tip 3, top 5, primary, secondary, there are no rules here....just curious who everyone likes as their SS.
My top 5 (in no particular order)
- Wander Franco FS 99- Most surprising card of the year for me.
- Trea Turner AS 2021 98- one of the best cards of the year.
- Fernando Tatis Jr. Finest 99
- Tim Anderson Topps 99
- Barry Larkin MS 99- Larkin rips and hus speed is off the chain too.
Honorable mentions-
Jimmy Rollins awards 99, great all around just needs more power like Tim the Tool man said.
Francisco Lindor Sig 99
Honus Wagner Prime 99 -
@poksey_mlbts said in Best 3B in the Show:
Nobody likes Eddie Mathews?
Sometimes I absolutely go on a tear with Matthews and he's my 5 hole lefty with pop, other times when I have him on the bench (which I do for my NL East squad because of Chipper) I have trouble getting in a groove with him. His 93 Breakout was a monster for me. But by the time I got his Signature 99, there were soooo many other options.
-
@mlbarf_psn said in Should I sell Trea:
Trea Turner is the most fun player in baseball according to statistics (see video linked below). I think the same applies to his Finest Card in this game. Dude plays stellar defence at 2nd base (gets to those pesky balls up the middle that my pitchers never stop), has the same sweet swing as always but now with better stats, and he FLIES. He's incredible.
Haven't seen you post much before but you definitely know your stuff based on the last few posts I've read. Great link and solid point.
-
Brandon Woodruff is pretty solid. Bob Gibson hits well for me. And I hit 2 home runs with Mike Scott.

@savefarris_psn said in Mondesi?:
They've released him twice in the past 3 years. Releasing him AGAIN this year would seem overkill.
More likely he returns next year as a two year loop is established.
Oh wise show-storian, do you think we get new rewards tomorrow for the event?
Also, do you think there will be any more legends or flashbacks released this season?
Lastly, do you think the owners and players will avoid a catastrophic strike and the Cardinals will sign both Kershaw and Story and win their 12th championship?
Thanks.
0% chance the Cardinals sign another RHH. If anything they need Shwarbs.
Oh trust me, I know this is not likely. I would love to see Arenado and Story reunited but a lefty is far more necessary. But most of all, they need pitching, pitching and more pitching.

Alomar card at P5 is still pretty darn goodI really wish I got that Alomar card early on.
He's the only card I missing...well, Lofton and McGriff now too. Bummer, I'll end up 1 card short.

@mrad2010_xbl said in Any news on RIB 2?:
Will there be a new RIB? I haven’t been keeping up with it.
There hasn't been anything to kndicate there will be. The oy thing left on the calendar is the 11th inning forever program. I think that'll be the last piece if content we get for the year but that's just an uneducated guess from a rookie.
