After I finished the player program figured what the heck. Played a RS game and threw him in center. I'm not a very good player mind you. Batted him second. Facing Hershiser I believe in the 3rd inning he hits a 2 run homer. In the 8th game tied 3-3 my opponent has runner on 3rd with 55 speed. He hits a fairly deep fly to right center. Laureano catches it and throws a strike to home nailing him at the plate. Game still tied in bottom of 12th I have a man on 2nd Laureano triples off the wall for a walk off win. He single handedly won the game with bat and glove. Was fun to use an obscure guy like that and have him perform. Give him a try.

Was flipping thru the channels and stumbled across the 1971 Allstar game. WOW...Clemente...Stargell...Bench..Marichal..Killebrew..Palmer...Brooks Robinson...Fergie Jenkins...Mickey Lolich...and alot more. What a blast watching these guys. Whole game on.

Too bad the mission wasnt to get 10 blown saves with Blake Treinen. I would of had those 20 stars pretty quick. LOL

Interesting fact about Stan Musial. In 1957 he became the first MLB player in history to have an annual salary of $100,000. In 1959 after a subpar season he went to the cardinals and asked them to cut his salary to $80,000. Imagine that happening today. Noway.

That extra pitch for Chapman is a knee buckling changeup. Very effective when people are sitting for that 102mph fastball.

So I'm in 9th inning showdown in the first elimination against Vida Blue. Score is 2-2 so I only need one more run to move on. I have bases loaded and still have 6 outs left. Ofcourse thinking I got this. Hit a fly ball to medium center with 78 speed at 3rd base. So I'm gonna tag up and it's over. Lol I hit the button early and all my runners advance (brain fart). Center fielder throws to 3rd who throws to 2nd who throws to first. Quadruple play. All I could do was laugh. Next batter struck out. I just swung at anything. Now I have 1 out left. 0-2 count I hit a bomb with Dejong. Crazy

For me that's alot of the fun of the game. Finding cards that work for you. As good as that Larry Walker card is I cant hit anything with him. I think that open stance throws me off. My favorite card so far is Dylan Carlson. Seem to have the most luck with him.

Played an event game againt....Give Trienen the save and I quit. I was like really? LOL

As much as I hate the showdown grind am I right that it's the most economical way to move thru team affinity? Even if you lose the final showdown you make stubs and xp. Please someone tell me if I'm wrong. The showdown grind wears me out. LOL

Brian Robert's not a top 10 2B? He's atleast top 5.

So sorry about your loss. Was good that you got to spend time with him at the end. Ironically I am watching the Ke Burns documentary called Baseball. Have seen it many times. Just as I read your post they were covering the 75 series. One of the best ever.watched it live on tv as a teenager. Lots of memories.

Now the 1975 Game is about to start. Just saw Greg Luzinski...Don Sutton..Steve Garvey. It's on Fox Sports.

Amos Otis...Mike Greenwell...Chris Chambliss...Thurman Munson...Kent Tekulve...Tippy Martinez...Sonny Siebert...Mark (the bird) Fydrich...Frank Howard...and many more.

Anybody had any luck with that 94 card? It looks pretty good. Was wondering if anyone has had any luck with it?

I've used him in ranked for 6 starts and he's been pretty good. Small sample size but his era is 2.84 and lots of k's. I think with alot of these pitchers you have to find the right pitching mix. I tried Hershiser and didnt work for me. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Any reviews on the Andre Dawson 99? Only used him in showdown which isn't a real good indicator but really like his swing. Card is a good mix with hitting .. defense and speed. Any feedback?

Is there a way to see who your opposing pitcher is in RS games so you can set your lineup accordingly? I know you select your SP then pregame lineup but I dont see opposing SP until after game loads.

A decent option for fairly cheap is for AJ Burnett. Just prestige him. Check him out.

Dont have that Rickey card. I want it but last I checked it was about 280k.

Pulled Arenado from show pack...My first Trought from BIAH pack...Alonso from HRD and Hornsby from BB pack. Was a good day.
