K
He was in the last of 30 TA packs as I grind out TA1/2. First time pulling him in six years. Sellin' him will give me more than enough for Acuna and Freeman to finish off the LS collection. I'm gonna throw up. Brothers and Sisters, it can happen to you. Many blessings on you this day.
My wife is only slightly impressed.
Plea to mods to pull this post before the mere mention of K causes him to crawl out of the dark pits from whence he resides to trouble us all as he did in years past.
Every time we get the monthly program, I put McMahon back at 3rd and every time I'm like, 'Oh, right. He mashes.'
FWIW; I'm a strictly offline player who has only done the Bieber showdown and I was able to beat the FoD Showdown. Went in down 15-20 and won w/11 outs left. If I can do it, anyone can dot it. All it cost me was time. Now I got King Felix and I'm a few conquest games away from Clemente and all that sweet, sweet 5th inning exp. You can do it. I believe in you.
Gotta be actually wearing the team's uniform on the card. Bugs me otherwise.
Lotta y'all talkin' like Cutch owes you money in real life. The absolute disrespect given to Uncle Larry in this thread is outrageous.
Outrageous!
Good day!
Anyone else not get their pack? I've been in Scouting Report all year.
I'm in the same boat.
Posnanski did an entire series on The Athletic about this a few years ago. He turned it into a book called, appropriately, The Baseball 100. I like his a lot more than this one for sure.

You click on extra innings and get 6 randomly selected opponents and play one or back out and do it again until you find one you feel like playing. You can choose home or away and ehat stadium to play in but if you choose away, you can only use the stadium they own or a created one.
You cant choose to play someone's team which is a shame because of the yeti teams in the past but you should get most skill level opponents in there if you jump in and out to get what you want.
Nice that they made stat missions for them.
The Yetis. Now THAT was a team...boy they helped me pass so many missions. The real MVP.
Looks like 98 FS Andrew Vaughn.
Yes. The most recent xbox controller update borked everything up for pinpoint users. Most people have found that using a wired controller alleviates the issue. Good luck!
Jackie/Mookie for me.
Just got mine; 1785-1790 range.
Jackie Robinson is my 2nd favorite player all-time, so once he's available, he's my 2B until the next game comes out. Honorable mention this year goes to 2022 AS Gimenez, who was definitely a pleasant surprise.

He will tell you what's coming anyways.
I remember a couple years ago when he was standing on the mound yelling to his catcher what he was about to throw lol. Greinke is a fascinating character to me. I think he got really unfairly maligned and labeled as a [censored] when in reality he’s just kind to of an odd duck. If he started his career today, I think people would be more understanding about things like social anxiety (and — this is just my own amateur diagnosis so don’t put any stock into it — I think it’s very likely he’s somewhere on the autism spectrum).
There was a really great profile on him a few years ago that I can’t seem to find. This isn’t the one I’m thinking of, but it’s still pretty entertaining:

The Athletic has done two or three stories on Greinke told by his teammates and whatnot and every one is a goldmine of just absolutely wonderful Greinke stories. I believe Posnanski has some well written articles about Greinke's social anxiety and general quirkiness as well. He's a great player and a great character.
Wife and I bought tickets to fly cross-country to Seattle for Ichiro's Retirement Ceremony w/the Mariners. That's scheduled for late August so I'm still holding out (some) hope.
Why why WHY would y'all call him back like this. the absolute HUBRIS. we were having a good time! we were all having a good time!

His Finest last year was one of my favorites of the entire batch. I've yet to roll out his TN card yet, I'll give him a whirl today.
Co-sign his Finest. That card was great. For his TN moment I sent the first pitch I saw out of the park, such a sweet swing.
