Could you repeat that please?

@PAinPA said in Frank Thomas’ Defense - SDS dropped the ball:

How do have throwing errors with a first baseman??

I know that this may be hard to believe but every once in a while a first baseman will actually start a double play!

TO THE OP:

This is one of the dumbest things that I’ve ever read on these forums. I get it you’re a Mets fan... Yankees get all the headlines... Yankees win... never hear anything about my Mets etc etc. Be realistic, you literally pointed out a Mount Rushmore of not just the best players in Yankees history but in the history of the game. I may be a Yankee fan but I’m realistic, I’m not a homer by any stretch. If you want to complain about the Giambis or Tinos etc.. ok I get your point Mets fan, but who do you have that holds a candle to that trio? Nobody. C’mon man cry somewhere else. There are only a select few players in the history of the game that are up there with the three names you just listed. All TIME GREATS like Mays Aaron Foxx etc.

if you want less Yankees I get it. Like I said it wouldn’t even bother me. I’m a Yankee fan who also loves the history of baseball. So sure I’d love to see more teams’ players represented. I would think you’d want fewer Braves before you mention the Yankees. But unfortunately you’re a “typical Mets fan” more worried about your crosstown rival instead of the rivals in your own division! Lol it’s laughable, Mets fans have had issues with the Yankees forever, while of the majority of Yankees fans could care less about the Mets except for when they play each other.
And hey you want to be happy for something? Nido got a Topps now card earlier this year for hitting two home runs one a Grand Slam. Higashioka hit 3 bombs in one game and didn’t get a card. But you don’t see yankee fans crying about the Mets. Lol keep crying over the best to play the game of baseball being included in this game simply because they are Yankees... great look typical Mets fan... great look...

The nine inning CPU game worked. Thank you everyone

Still no Twitch drops? Just wondering how many people still haven’t received any packs at all. I see a lot of people saying that they started to get some yesterday. I’ve never had an issue before getting twitch drops but with this I haven’t gotten a single pack yet. Twitch says it’s on SDS. I haven’t heard any response at all from them. Just wondering how many others haven’t received anything.

Same problem here. Drops have always worked in the past. Nothing going into my inventory tonight. Would love to hear something about this….

On behalf of all Mets fans. The op is not one of us . We apologize for any migraines from the supposedly “ Mets “ fan. We have revoked his membership card.

Mind your own business because no one cares what u have to say in terms of my fanhood. I made my point clear not many will agree with me and I don’t care .

The problem here is you have no point... it’s not that people aren’t agreeing with you. You are totally, completely, 100% dead wrong with your original post. So people can’t agree with you. You obviously have no clue when it comes to how this game works. This has absolutely nothing to do with sellers and everything to do with buyers.
You with your shallow minded view that everyone else is holding you back is flat out ridiculous! If you can’t play the game well (which some of us can’t) you should be looking forward to TA3 to make yourself some serious stubs. Instead of complaining about something that you couldn’t be more wrong about. You could have been preparing to double and triple the stubs you had in a setting that doesn’t involve skill. YOU missed the boat. Instead of listening to literally everyone in this thread you’ll continue to cry foul, and how things just aren’t “Fair”
You could have easily doubled or tripled your stubs today. BUUUUT just like you have absolutely no clue about what you are talking about, you also have no clue how to play. Instead of telling people that they are wrong, open your mind just a bit and once card values come down buy some up and get ready to sell during the TA4 release... It’s not hard.

@bonion said in Why I won’t do favors in this event, not about liars either:

I didn’t care about giving up XBH’s with bronze pitchers but many of these pitchers will be in the rotation. I don’t want my stats ballooned bc you want easy hits. Either play or quit and move on to the next. Don’t message me calling me an a$$hole bc I play the game the proper way

I appreciate you letting us all know ‍️... lol

Own up to it...I hate that people are so stubborn lol

Ok, I’ll stop, it is just annoying this guy is saying that he can’t take 10 seconds to read. Maybe it is just me but I think that is ridiculous

Breadsticks... I hate to say it but you come off looking like a complete [censored] here. Who cares if the guy made a mistake? Then you care SO MUCH that you dig in to his profile and double down on looking like a [censored]. Maybe you’re helpful now and then but what was the point here exactly?
You hate when people are “so stubborn” but how long did you carry on until you finally let this go? And only because other people started shooting you down.
You mentioned that you try to help out here on the forums, which you do. If that’s the case why jump all over this guy??? All you did was make yourself look like the typical forum troll who lives to show others their mistakes. So keen on making them look bad that you check out their play history?
So I ask you..... Did it really make you feel that much better? Hey You got him good! That will teach him for reaching out for some help on these forums! Or at the very least for making a mistake that we all have made hundreds of times in our lives.(not paying attention)

@jimjones9989 said in Giolito thoughts:

I sold him for 6,800, can someone explain to me who in their right mind is paying that much for a free card?

Anyone who plans on selling them in a week once the 4 day freebie giveaway is over. Not everyone will log on over the next 4 days to claim it for free. Some of those people will want to buy it. Soooo some people are buying them to resell... just like most every other card in this game.

Sad day for Cardinals nation.

Man this year...how will they have RIP Brock and Seaver up at the same time lol

This is awfully sad news and a tough week for baseball fans... I’m not sure this deserves an “lol”...

Not allowed to post about stub sales? How does that make sense? You’d think that SDS would want everyone to know about their sales... that equals more money for them...

How? If you hit the ball hard (perfect) common fielders shouldn’t routinely turn a double play

——-also kind of silly to say. Look I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen too often in the game. But just because you hit a “perfect perfect” ground ball does not mean you can’t hit it directly at someone. Have you ever watched baseball? It happens a lot.
As far as it should not create a double play goes, typically perfect perfect hits are crushed, so if it’s fielded cleanly with a runner on base.. you get a double play.
Again I’m not advocating for SDS here because it does seem to happen too often but I see people exaggerate their “perfect perfect” outs all of the time. It does happen in baseball...

People are buying him for the same reason they buy everything else to make profit.... to sell at a later date. It’s only free for 4 days. Not everyone will log in to the game in that time.

@Collin_SDS said in Twitch Drops from Watching Players Stream:

If you link your account then Drops are redeemed by watching any streamer playing MLB The Show. We can't give specifics, but we set them up to be pretty generous.

Been watching streamers all day and haven't received since 2pm

Same thing here, I watched streamers for about 4 hours and never received a single pack since around the end of SDS live streams. I didn’t get anything for watching streamers play the game at all! Hope this gets fixed soon!

@GQSMOOTH75 said in Im thinking about buying Nolan Ryan:

im good gramps but thanks for participating. Guess im not a fan since i dont know every player that ever played for my team. Now i must denounce them [censored] I dont know who the QB was for my 49ers 1962 so I guess i have to stop rooting for them
No one is saying you have to know every player who ever played for your team. They are however saying that you probably should know a HOFer from your team especially one who played such a pivotal role in breaking the color barrier

Well never heard of the man ever. Like ever. Thank you SDS for educating me

This... who said that you should know everyone who ever played for your team?-nobody. But to not know the greatest players (hall of famers) that played for your team. That is kind of sad. It would be like 30 years from now someone asking you “who the heck is Frank Thomas, I never heard of the guy” I think you’d cringe just a bit hearing that.
You don’t have to be a Gramps to know who the best to ever play the game are. Anyone who is a fan of the history of Baseball knows who Larry Doby was.

By the way SDS clearly didn’t educate you... GRAMPS did.

Oh man you had me rolling comparing Frank Thomas White Sox legacy to Larry’s White Sox legacy. WOW. And leave gramps alone he’s sleeping

I had you rolling? You talk about the Big Hurt’s legacy for the White Sox while dismissing Larry Doby’s MUCH larger legacy for the entire sport. Again this isn’t a utility player we are talking about, this isn’t even Ron LeFlore, Greg Walker, Bobby Thigpen, or even Harold Baines for that matter.
Larry Doby is one of the greatest players of all time, AND he broke the American League color barrier. I’d say that’s one hell of a legacy.

Also If your father was in Viet Nam I’d say that you are old enough to know better when it comes to both Larry Doby and calling someone else gramps. Pot meet kettle.

@ChuckCLC said in SDS wants to ensure Yankees have greatest team:

I dont think they have to. They have a super long history, have pumped tons of money in their team since it existed. Ensuring they always steal away the best players. Heck didnt they pay cash for babe Ruth? And always spend the most money or willing to since the beginning of time. It wouldnt make any sense if they didnt have the best players throughout history.

Most teams today could not match the players the Yankees had if the Yankees didnt use any players past the day those teams franchises were founded.

The Yankees didn’t buy all the best players throughout history lol. That didn’t start until Steinbrenner bought the team. As far as them purchasing Babe Ruth, they actually saved the Red Sox who were in financial ruin, going bankrupt. They sold off players to save their team. The Yankees kept them afloat. Most of the Yankees World Series wins came well before free agency was even a thing. Back in those days once a player was on a team they STAYED on that team unless traded. Buying great players doesn’t always mean winning as the Yankees have done a lot of that also.

@jz2016cubs said in I feel dumb now:

I bought MVP Kris Bryant for 80K a few days ago, and he is now 55K. lol

Yeah it’s too bad you didn’t wait a bit longer. I got 3 of his card today about 3 minutes into the headliners flash sale for 28k each. So I paid 4K more then you for 3 of them. ‍️
