Like the did for 3rd Inning Boss Trevor Story. Can anyone confirm the number on the back of the Lightning Harper annimation?

Third Inning Boss Trevor Story is the exact same card as LS Trevor Story that wears #10 and is batting .218 for the Red Sox. Whenever there’s a flashback card of a current player, SDS makes a conscious decision to phone it in and make us use the LS version. How long does it take to create an extra card, ten minutes to trim a beard and change the number to the one he actually wore in Colorado, that’s listed and pictured on his card? We have multiple versions of Bruce Sutter, but since Story already has a LS card, they decided to lay up on us to save themselves this smallest of efforts. I waited weeks to unlock that card so he could play next to Chipper on the left side. I cannot play a #10 at 3rd and a #10 at short. EA makes three separate versions of every FC icon card they make every year. I wish SDS would make just a little more effort to improve the aesthetic of things like this.

I can't play him at short next to Chipper as #10. You have him listed as 27 on the card even.

There are 4,256 reasons for Pete Rose to be in the game. When you hold a record that nobody will ever approach again, no matter how many games they add to the playoffs, you've earned the right. The sudden injection of morality in a group that sits there with the kill switch next to them so they can disconnect the game before your 1st inning home run gets counted is rich.

Promo opens with a shot of some old minor league stadium, pans around to the grass behind the left fielder, pans up from the grass and you see he's standing there in his socks with no shoes on... [Goosebumps].

We need Buck Weaver at third too.

I am sitting here with an empty bottle of Simply Orange next to the couch to limit the time it takes to go to the bathroom. It's not right.

@AstrosJake_PSN You're right, I honestly don't know anywhere near the whole story on the Astros that year, but you can't trust the league to investigate something when the truth could cause it to lose money, and in the absence of a John Cullen like person doing a forensic analysis of it, we'll never know about the playoffs. My point of bringing it up is the double standard. I'm for Rose being in, and I'm for Bregman and Altuve being in if they get selected too. People make mistakes, and maybe Altuve is the Joe Jackson figure there. As sure as I'm sitting here, though, nobodey is going to get 4,256 hits again, no matter how many games they add to the playoffs.

Keeping the steroid era guys out, that obviously would have been there anyway, when it was the league and Selig that really failed us is wrong also, but the Baseball Writers Association of America aren't having it.

@AstrosJake_PSN They played 3 of those World Series games at home, and then Roberts started Darvish in the 7th game. I have softened enough to accept Bregman’s card in my 3B rotation this year, so maybe we’re all growing.

Serious question, was it the pitch clock or the Astros that are responsible for there being no more signs given by the catchers any longer?

Can't wait. Would be great if the promo looked to be a Jim Palmer release and then cut to Pete doing a "Pete Rose" slide into 3rd. -I will come unglued.

Also, what a POS this Manfred [censored] is. If you're going to clear the ban, do it while the man is still alive. He was 83 when he died last year and had already underwent 3 heart procedures in the previous 5 years, and Manfred had been commisioner for 9 years already. Manfred didn't do [censored] to any of the Astros who all cheated their way to a ring, except suspend Cora for one year. An incredible double standard if you ask me. Pete only bet on his team to win, those guys cheated to win.

There is absolutely no parity in the MLB. There is in the NFL and NHL, but Manfred and those that came before him are too weak to address the issue in MLB. So maybe a team with a low payroll might sneak through the first round, but by the CS, it's all the biggest payrolls. Granting you Arizona's incredible run to the WS, but otherwise, it's a rich kid's party.

You're not kidding. Ranked could be so much fun, but here again I just played a full game with a lineup full of contact hitters where I got 3 hits and so did my opponent and I won 2-1, all scoring done on homeruns. This with both of us attacking the strike zone. Lazy fly ball after lazy fly ball and an occasional dribbler and perfect/perfect right at somebody. That's all online is right now. It is not fun.

I thought it would drop the price, but I thought everyone could and would have gotten to that pack already. I was wondering why it and the Berkman card didn't drop. My bad for sure. At least I wasn't one of the 10 or so people that bought the card for $80K yesterday.

@Jcassaro44_MLBTS Very glad this was asked because I was wondering the same thing. I don't do the moonshot events so thank you for taking the time to reply. I feel much better about myself now.

After watching the card for a month. Then AS Christian Yelich comes along, and sucks seemingly everyone playing this game across the 130 threshhold in the multiplayer program dropping the price of Gossage down to $15K. Would have thought you all had gotten there already, but I guess not.

DM for card flipping consuluting.

I can see not being able to figure it out in the first place, but don't give it to us for two years and then mess it up. Is there a fix being batted around? Trying to play home games at Wrigley Field and they are throwing my HR balls back.

Does anyone know if this happened to all the JR cards at once or if it happens at some point in the Parallels progression? Either way, feels better to celebrate the 42 years rather than the 5's.

Awe I see now i've missed a question. Trying to do it on my phone..

It keeps taking me back to the "What if anything do you like about the following Programs and Collections" boxes. I've spent an hour on this thing and now I'm stuck. The NEXT button is blue and i've filled in each box and it keeps taking me back to the top. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Don't ever throw me a strike until I have a 3 ball count.

@huskerfan051214_XBL yeah, Carlton has a 99 ctr 99 brk slider, but his sinker is just 65 65. Probably try Burnes.

If you've used Burnes NT or Carlton PS I'll appreciate your thoughts.
