That would be insane. I was hoping they’d bring back Yogi Berra! I’d be so hyped.

I know there’s probably a thread on this but I cannot find it haha. J Ram is looking pretty nice tbh looks like a good utility card

Idk man. Thames has the stats but I hit the stitches off the ball with J Ram.

Thames has cooled way off and I have Ruth. J Ram can also play every infield position.

Exactly what I was thinking, I don’t see myself replacing the babe at 1st. I have him as well. Thames looks filthy but I can’t get rid of Babe man haha

I thought the same thing when I was in your position. Honestly just get in there with confidence and win. I personally think its best to have the extra runs going into the last showdown. I found that Pearson was much easier to read than Sale

@ChuckCLC said in Worth skipping Chris Sale in showdown extreme?:

What stadium do you face him in?

I don’t even remember I’m pretty sure it’s white sox stadium

@Hikes83 said in Worth skipping Chris Sale in showdown extreme?:

Weird. I had to do it three times, never faced Sale

Faced feller the first time and ever since it’s been Chris Sale

I’ve failed against him 3 times already...mainly my fault. Blew my chances by swinging at dumb stuff but y’all think it’s doable to just make up the 3 runs in the final showdown against Pearson? This extreme showdown is driving me nuts...I usually complete showdowns in the first try but am having a hard time for some reason. A buddy of mine who can’t even beat me in a game of DD beat the showdown before I did so I’m going insane haha

EDIT: just beat Sale....facing Pearson now...gotta call upon my spirit animal. Wish me luck

Second Edit: Finally Completed the showdown after 4 tries. I need a break haha

Just spent over 100k getting like 6 topps cards I was missing just to be safe. I should’ve known better but hopefully can sell back if we don’t need the whole collection

@j_will_04 said in Awards Max Scherzer:

I never buy the HL packs, but bought the HL packs hopefully to get Scherzer. 3rd pack diamond national league starting pitcher, right hander..... Darvished

Yu “just got” Darvished

If you had to choose between the two?
I really want to replace Hal Newhouser but don’t want to dish out the stubs for Chris Sale just yet...

P O S A D A

I agree, I was fortunate enough to pack Luzardo (first HL pull of the year) played a few games and his control was buns! Sold him right after. Looks good on paper though

So headliners came out at 3pm ET, this post was roughly 4pm ET, and you were able to play multiple games in 1 hour with him with the SP stamina the way it is? Must've been busy....

Chill Nancy Drew.

First game my opponent rage quit.
Second Game was a complete game. So one and a half games.

Considering starters go down 50% even in a rage quit, having a hard time believing you immediately went back in and pitched a complete game with him.....

K.

Lol. That made me laugh.

But I will go Columbo on you. You pitched one game with him, 4 2/3 inn and your opponent was struggling big time. 10 k's 2 bb's just 1 run on 1 hit. But hey, if you dont like 'em you dont like 'em.

Yeah you’re right. One game isn’t enough for determine if the card was worth or not. Sold him as I didn’t want the price to drop

Sometimes it may be. Certain guys might have a funky windup or just a "feel" you dont like about them.

Yeah I feel it. I didn’t like his primaries. He has a nice windup through. I’m also lookin to try Bumgarner so that’s part of the reason I sold him

Bumgarner is absolutely worth it. Again, small sample size but I'm 1-0 gave up 4ER though but managed to hit a bomb with him at the plate too!

Yesss, that’s what I wanted to hear. Definitely picking him up. Just waiting to see if his price drops by next week

I just had an hour long discussion yesterday with some friends of mine that also play the game. We’re all stuck on all start difficulty. Can’t get passed division series for some reason. I don’t like to blame this “RNG” but it honestly feels like at this level it has nothing to do with skill. It’s almost as if the game dictates who wins or loses. I’m not bad at the game either. I have a pretty decent record but can’t get passed all star difficulty for the life of it. It’s discouraged me to play more ranked seasons so I’ve come to just play friendlies more than anything. It’s pretty sad. This is the first year I’ve taken the game serious and won’t be back at the end of the cycle as online gameplay is not consistent

@xM1SFiiT said in Topps Now collection and price:

I just sold the bichette because he was sitting there in the collection but now this thread has me thinking of buying back. I don’t see why we would need tops now cards for the new lightning card though? We never have before

According to the collections on the PS4 you need 24 topps now cards or POTM cards in order to get the lightning card. As far as I know it can be any combination of the two as long as you collect 24. There are currently only 21 topps now cards available but my hope is that it goes up to 24 with more being released this week since I don't have any POTM cards.

I totally missed that! Thanks!
