I agree Just like Mike Piazza will allways be a dodger to me

Wrong...Everyone knows Mike Piazza will always be a Marlin.

@Bob_Loblaw1984 said in Say it with me..The Miami Marlins are in 1st Place!!!!:

Marlins fans exist?

Yes all 5 of us were on a Zoom call watching the game.

I personally think we need more stat missions.
I know I will get ripped by the online only elitists for even mentioning this, but this is the way I feel. And we do have online stat missions by the way.
I have lost interest in online play, it just doesn't feel like baseball. The only way to score runs is on a HR, its not that 100% of the time, but it sure as heck seems that way.

That's because the card art is missing his stache.
That was always the secret to his power.

With all the names we, as a community, have thrown out as possibilities. It's inevitable that we will be disappointed. Short of Jesus, who according to Cerrano, couldn't hit a curve ball. This is going to be a huge let down

"Are you trying to say that Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?"

There is no way that Torre should ever be a 98 OVR.
He was a good to very good player, his three year run from 69 to 71 was impressive.
I am of the belief that cards 97 and up are for the best of the best, Hall of Fame level talent.

I know this is a video game, but SDS should not pick and choose when to apply reality and when to sprinkle fairy dust on a card to boost it's ratings.
I know we have prospects and future stars and I do not like thier high ratings, but those cards are what if's and what is sports talk other than never ending what if's?
Torre's career is done, there is no what if. His numbers, his accolades and bold print stats are there..no way should he be a 98.
Give him a 94 OVR for his MVP year in 71, but that should be the top rating for him.

There are easier ways to store stubs...Like bidding way under on an expensive card like Mize.
This sounds like a very, very, very patient Team Affinity exchanger.

I played MTO with the Marlins. Jesus Aguilar began the season with a zero speed rating.
By the time the post season rolled around his speed "improved" to a 1.
LMFAO!!!

Last year there was a Signature Team "mission" where you had to beat the all time squads of all the teams to get some cards.

And If I remember correctly a few years ago Team Affinity was tied to beating the CPU at certain levels unlocking cards.
But I do agree, we need more single player full game options and not just vs CPU, something to work towards.

They have not patched anything.

@x-Alec_J-x said in Mike Scott in AL Ruth Game:

I still find it weird that they moved they brewers to the NL and the astros to the AL.

It was a Bud Selig thing. He grew up rooting for the Milwaukee Braves.
He also preferred the NL game to the AL game.

I will always remember growing up is that Pujols home run off Lidge that fittingly went to the moon.

That ball just sailed past Saturn, on its way out of the solar system.

Acuña! 3 HRs today

If it weren’t for Topps Now (so pretty much excluding Bieber), what about pitchers?

I think Plesac is going to get a card, probably not the lightning card, but he should get a Diamond.

Lance Lynn is dealing as well. He is on the bump tonight, so we will have a better idea if he is Lightning material.

Edit: He pitched 5 innings, 2 ER with 6 K's. Got the W if you care about pitcher wins.
His ERA is 1.16 and his ERA+ was a mind boggling 842 before this start.

There's no way they're rewarding Plesac in any way after what happened today.

What happened today?
The Tribe haven't played

Edit:
Nevermind, I just googled him. The players sent him home, good for them. Players need to hold each other accountable.

I have thought this about the Live Series Awards cards. When I first saw Scott on the mound in that AL game I was scratching my head. I just don't think of him as an AL guy. Part of the weirdness of the Astros and Brewers swapping spots.

Have you also thought about how the Astros have a history of cheating?

Mike Scott's splitter had so much movement on it that they were always checking him for an Emory board or sandpaper. I remember that Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter were so befuddled by Scott's splitter that they were convinced that he was scuffing the baseball.

And we all know what the cheating Astros did these last few years.

Joe Niekro was on that team with Scott, and was famously caught with an emory board in his pocket.

They had a hack of a staff with Scott, Ryan, Knepper and Deshaides (4 man rotations in the 80's)
