He actually has a nice swing…used him a few games and batting ,444 lol
That's it. I'm putting him in the leadoff spot in the next RS season. Brilliant!
Hahaha don’t get too carried away. Lol
@snakeeyes23_psn said in Don Mattingly is cracked.:
I assume that the designers at SDS grew up in the 80’s and are big fans.
I mean Mattingly was a good hitter. If I’m not mistaken he was the hitting coach for the Yankees for a while.
@no-online-play-_psn said in Another 'Sell/Keep' post:
Just hit the XP for the Classics Pack.
Picked Bundy.
All 3 are around 28-25K after taxes; if I sell.
Probably going to need all of them for collections.
I assume these will stay around 20K; so probably not worth selling the one I have now and buying back?
Some of those cards go up in price after they’re no longer available. They’re not really usable cards but for collections you’ll need them.
80 something power means nothing. Martingly hits bombs. That swing is smooth as f….,
@chuckclc_psn said in Oh no Fernando!:
I think he will be pretty easy to hit on All Star. HoF he will be touger. Legend, uhg, dont want to think about that.
My bad…that’s what I meant.

@cobain93_psn said in Run it Back - Players?:
Dumb question, but which players can you use to complete the missions?
Can I snag some off the market to complete these?
TIAThe player you can use would be the on from the pack
So Mattingly, Edwin, Ruiz etc etc
All of them can be purchased from the Market
Thanks! Is there a pack in the store? or just the one you get from completing the program? (that others would complete and auction off)
I just opened the pack and took Mattingly. Every player was a choice.

Omg I just faced him on the showdown and won but mannnn that screw is filthy. The change up is like a 23 mph difference than his fastball. I think on higher difficulties he will be really good,
When you know how to pitch with him, he’s extremely hard to hit. His pitches tunnel so well
The curveball and changed break like they’re falling off a table. Might be the nastiest pitch break I’ve seen on any pitcher this year. Velocity is low but wow.
Believe it or not, alot of my strikeouts come off the fastball by them swinging late lol
You slow their bat down so much with the screwball and circle change
Put ‘em in the rocking chair for pitching lingo. I pitched in college. I like how you think. After seeing 70mph and 80mph the 90 mph fastball looks 110mph.
I think it’s why people struggle with certain pitchers. They see outlier and think they need to spam it. Once the opponent times it, all the adjustment they need to make is slow down on offspeed whereas if you establish a midtier baseline for swing speed, when they time that, then they have to adjust faster for outlier or slower on changeup for example
Fernando is really good. I just got Mattingly in the run it back pack. I’m working in getting Fernando and Kellenic now. They both look really good.

This card will be filthy.
I’ve opened so many of these packs and never pulled a rare round. I know the other guy says Lefty sucks. I disagree. I think Lefty is pretty good. His fastball and cutter look the same out the hand and he throws smoke. The other cards suck imo.
@danh35_xbl said in Awards Molina should have the Pop Time quirk:
I understand his live series card not having it, since he’s not as good as he used to be, but the 2012 card should (and Wieters Award card too). Here’s an article from 2012 on pop times: https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/7839916/yadier-molina-matt-wieters-baseball-pop-time-leaders-mlb
Nice find on that article. Molina definitely needs pop time.
That was the first thing I looked for. It makes such a big difference. All star JT throws out everyone. Adley doesn’t and occasionally he’s late with the throw. Adley still a god though.

I wish this was true.
@hikes83_psn said in Any chance Devers goes diamond?:
@sevisonjn_psn said in Any chance Devers goes diamond?:
What do you think? If yes, why? If no, why?
I don’t think so. These past 2 weeks, his batting average moved up a couple points but his OPS went down even more points which means he didn’t hit for any power whatsoever. He struck out less but he also walked less.
Just don’t think he’s done enough
I agree, I think Devers is amazing but he’s young. His best years in the league are still ahead of him. If Stanton doesn’t goes diamond this week I’d be surprised though.
For a free card it looks pretty good tbh. 125 hits per 9,117 k per 9. Plus a 5 pitch mix. I’m all in.
@beatlesnews_psn said in Daily moments in October:
Would love to see Pablo back. Missed him first time around.
I love that card. Incredible tbh. Even on his weak side he crushes because his swing is undeniable.

@shawnzinator13 said in Run It Back packs:
The highest overall card is a don mattingly
️
And? The only 99 in the first round of run it back last year was andruw jones
So they will keep adding new players to run it back?
Just 1 prime card. Wtf
