One of the most unreal second halves I've seen. In 2008 the Brewers went all in to try to make the playoffs for the first time since 1982. They traded their top prospect at the time Matt LaPorta and prospect Michael Brantley (who obviously has turned out to have a pretty good career) - but it was oh so worth the few month rental of Sabathia to carry us to our first playoffs since '82.

Dude was a workhorse. Pitched 130 innings (sometimes going back out there on a couple days rest). Went 11-2, and had 128 Ks with a 1.65 ERA (7 complete games, 125 stamina anyone?) - just in the second half. If that doesn't deserve a second half card, idk what does?! As you can tell, I'm obviously a huge Brewers fan but this would be a great, well deserving, card.

There is no way.

I was waiting for... "But then I got high!" - Afro man reference. You young ones wouldn't understand.

IMO no matter what DeGrom does, he wont get one until later on. It has to be Schwarber 100%.

I've bought and played every year of The Show that has come out. I used to be basically solely a Franchise player. Would always do two, one with my Brewers and one with a fantasy drafted team and switch between the two when I got a little bored. Started DD last year and am addicted. lol

I think we can all agree to not post about bad servers for a day once we have a day without bad servers.

Yes we get how bad the servers are. That does not mean we have to hear about it from tons of different posts.

It is annoying, but just don't click on it then lol.

You looking for them to start a TheShowPlayersMeet.com? what the heck?! What a weird post, lol.

Well done, good sir.

I posted pictures of myself at the gym this morning - Nothing screams attention more than that one.

Great now everyone is gonna have chipper

everyone should have chipper by now if they play with any regularity and play the game right. I have had him for a month and never flipped or played br. I just played conquest and the events and rs.

But to be honest you probably had some good pack luck. I still don’t have Chipper and I play everything. I have gotten lucky getting Trout, Degrom and Cole in packs but have had no luck beyond those cards. I’ve probably ripped over a thousand packs and have only pulled those three and maybe 4 or 5 other diamonds. My odds are bound to change soon but up to this point I’m not getting close to pack odds on diamonds.

nope ,, i didn't pull anyone over a headliner. I pulled abrams and donaldson and tatis when he was an 88. I just played alot in the beginning.

I mean unless you spent a [censored] load of $$ on the game there is no way you have the LS collection done only pulling those cards...

To go along with the team switching theme, I've said it before and I'll say it again, give us a 2nd half CC Sabathia Brewers card!

I haven't tried him. Already have HRD Fielder and Ortiz (bench bat now) - I had HRD Pete Alonso but sold him because I didn't have room to carry a 3rd 1B on my main squad.

I mean it's clearly Ryan but I wonder why they made the clue so easy?

@argentin32_xbl said in Will Cespedes card in last event be available in future HR derby packs?:

Ok, my next question is will there be some collection involving players that we've gotten from other collections? In other words, will we need Chipper, Soriano, Ortiz, Jackie, Ohtani, Acuna, Rivera etc. etc. for some great 99 card down the line sometime?

Yes

In honor of the Olympics give us a flashback 2000 USA gold medal Ben Sheets card!

Yeah, I don't think they'll get much lower.

IRL Ryan Braun. On my current DD team probably Chipper or Trout.

I think this is about the peak he will get to. I'm pretty sure there will be more ASG packs soon in the new inning. And his price will go down. Just my opinion though.

How long until Harper drops to the 200K range?

@mcgalamaad_psn said in Question about AS Peralta?:

@knoxwurst31_psn said in Question about AS Peralta?:

So I have the AS Freddy Peralta and though he is one of my favorite players I am thinking about selling and buying back later when the price drops. How long do you think he'll hold his value before the price on him and Vlad drop? I'm thinking there will be AS packs in the new inning and his price will go down. Current sell price is at 262K. Highest I've seen it. Should I unload now or will that number go up any more in your opinion?

Is he even good? Honestly haven’t run into him yet and I haven’t seen any reviews. I would definitely sell. Like you said, there’s def gonna be packs to either pull him again, or get him for way cheaper.

That's what I'm thinking. I have used him only offline so far and really like him but Idk how he'd fare online. It's tough for me to sell him because I'm a Brewers fan lol but I think that's the way to go.
