@jimjones9989 said in Lack of Hints from SDS:

They've had to be silent a lot this year on social media. It's gut wrenching how often the police murder unarmed black folks while letting white 17 year olds walk towards them with a loaded rifle after killing 2.

Thankfully SDS is bringing it to your attention, even if your eyes are closed.

Jacob Blake wasn't unarmed he did have a knife on him and told the police he had one. Also after a taser was he was still stand and walked around to the driver side of his car.

Now I'm not condoning what happened and some of the instances are over the line but some in the past have actually by fighting with police and reached for their gun. I watched a video when ferguson happened of a former inmate who was black and had spent 10 years in prison they asked him his thoughts about everything going on and he said I know I will never have an issue with the police because if they tell me something I'm going to do it when they say it. If your calm and do what they are asking you to do you will have no problem.

I have no problem with protesting because that is the right people have in the USA unlike most other countries where you will be arrested or killed for speaking your mind but there is no reason when ever there is a protest or something happens that people have to start setting cars and buildings on fire and looting. It makes no sense what is setting a building on fire going to do for you. All it does is effect and hurt the owner of that business or property maybe it is a single mother and the car the torch is the only way to get to work to feed her kids. It is uncalled for to steal and damage stuff that isn't your property.

They confirmed showdown extreme. get ready for common rated fielders robbing HR and hits like they are Jim Edmonds and Willie Mays combine. I would much rather have conquest extreme.

I am not a big dodger fan but I can not stand Bregman. I think he is a little snot-nosed punk that needs some chin music. But God I love Joe Kelly he is such a great character for the game. Super nice guy in person though. Met him once in 18 when I got a full tour of Fenway he will sit and talk to the fans forever.

I'm wondering what this is. It looks like a new tiered choice pack flash sale. It has 99 MVP Ruth

I'm having more issues with the Topps Now moments of this week than these All Time moments. The Yaz ones I can not square up a hit everything is either a double or right to someone. Also The Orioles pitches for the Judge moments Means is pitching like he is Koufax.

@the_dragon1912 said in First 7th inning hint:

Piazza was a Boss last year so I doubt its him. Frank is a very good possibility though

Frank the Tank is probably the best guess. Fan favorite from last year I would like to see a more affordable Jimmy Foxx earlier than he was last year.

Just complete the program and pick him as your boss

@mjfc_363 said in Kenny Lofton:

I'm sorry but Kenny Lofton looks absolutely ridiculous with the Chief on his helmet. At least put the 'C" on there for Cleveland. This politically correct world we live in is gonna be the end of us all one of these days.

I understand the PC thing about being offensive to the Native Americans and If you look at Bob Feller cards he did wear a C so they should have just photshopped the C on the helmet. I know it is easier to just cover it but the cards look not finished.

I am against the cancel culture. There are something that need change but taking away the Tomahawk chop or a brand just because they have differing political views . This is America where you have freedom of speech. It is because of that people can protest what ever they want. People need to stop being just pansies and not be offended by every little thing or we will eventually all be dressing in grey

I believe Maddox actually threw more of a running fastball

It’s gonna be Ruth and I’m going to be pretty disappointed. Really wish they’d step up and bring in a new legend for the main reward.

I do too, but Bonds, Arod, and Aaron/Clemente are the only players that remotely compare to Honus last year, in the game or new legends. None of thise seem like midseason drops to me. No matter who it is, it will be disappointing to someone because no one compares to a 5 tool shortstop with that positional flexibility. Babe, Ted, Sosa, Mcgwire, and Frank are bad defensively/slow/can be easily replaced. Mays would be worth it but there is 0 chance they make him a collection reward 2 years in a row. Only current legend in the game remotely worth it besides Mays is Foxx with a C secondary IMO. I will do the collection regardless

If they’re following the Wagner model of last year which is dropping an all around card those 3 you outlined (Aaron/Arod/Bonds) would be ideal as they all where 5 tool superstars and you can justify giving them 90+ on everything. I just don’t want to be stuck with a Babe Ruth that can mash but can’t play a single position adequately. I think they did a good job with Honus last year but this year if it’s not a new legend it’s probably going to be disappointing.

I wouldn't say Aaron was a 4 tool player as he didn't really run that much in his 23 year career there is only 9 seasons where he had 15+ SB the rest where below 10. Same can be said of Arod as he has a career .250 average.

Mantle averaged 8 steals a year in his career and they gave him 90+ speed. I’m sure they wouldn’t have an issue giving arod or Aaron who actually stole 30+ bases in season above 90 speed.

Mantle was actually one of the fastest guys in the league he just destoryed his knee when he tripped over a drain pipe because he was giving Dimaggio the ball to field. He played the rest of his Career with a torn ACL. Dimaggio went to war and was a baseball instructor.

@Darlas1976 said in Prestige:

I appreciate the responses. I only have 1 player (Oswalt) Prestige right now, working on others, but if the rewards go towards the Trout collection that will help out a lot.

There are a lot of other ways to get trout once I unlock 99 tatis I’ll need just one monthly. I bought most of the prospects when they had them on a conquest map and it dropped the price. I did exchanges for all the TA1

@raesONE said in Billy Wagner buy orders:

Same thing happened with Harper in 17, I made so many stubs on that card it was unreal.

And those are most definitely 30 different people. Making stubs has never been easier than this year. Almost everyone I know who plays this game has a stub balance of at least a million, regardless of skill level.

I don’t have a million stubs highest I have had this year was 500k.

@ZayFeaR_ said in Albert Pujols:

Isn’t 1000% confirmed but we all know it’s basically Albert Pujols tomorrow,

Predict his contact/power for both sides, vision, and fielding and let’s see who gets the closest

Could be Berkmen as they do show a Astro hat. Beltran would be a big hit

I think the only guys it can be for the bosses besides finest which how can you have a finest with only 60 games.

I think the bosses are going to be mays Wagner and foxx. Pujols has to be either a WS reward or in TA4

@Bob_Loblaw1984 said in 9th Inning Boss & Henchmen Predictions:

I think you’re wrong. They will be Finest cards. The season just ended. 9th inning was Finest last year too.

How can there be a finest when the season was only 60 games.

@spatial_coffee10 said in Run It Back:

A month ago, I would have been all over this, but I'm burned out with the game. Hopefully I'm interested again by the time 21 drops. Don't misunderstand this, I LOVE the game, but Covid lockdown set up the perfect scenario for playing 100's of hours for the first several months the game was released.

I’ve never had a lockdown as I have had to be in my office at my job since the start of the pandemic. I have been able to get to level 10 diamond. I’m one monthly award from trout and have Mantle.

Yeah the server has taken it out just going menu to menu it takes a long time. Probably the update the pushed last night killed the game. I just saw a satellite fall from the sky

I cant even see it on the website as it has gateway errors and other errors it just took a massive Cleveland steamer since 3 est

Now I'm wondering if I get him who I should replace in my OF. Currently running Ellsbury, Mantle and Walker. Soon to have Trout who will replace Ellsbury.

I have actually had it happen 2 days in a row ever since the recent download that added new card art. So does this mean there were hidden update
