Ok here is the math plain and simple so pay attention. You get 13 total tops now cards from completing the moments. Everyone had the opportunity to get a free Lucas Giolito. Now you’re up to 14. Everyone had the opportunity to collect Amir Garrett at the beginning of the season so now we’re at 15. When the POTM program launched guess what guys they duplicated your tops now packs from the whole month. So now you have 13 additional tops now cards bringing your total to 28. Add in the 7 POTM cards in the program and you’ve collected 35 cards which oddly enough is exactly what you needed for the collection. Guess what, Tatis could be had for free. No investment what so ever. Now if you choose to sell those cards as you get them, well that’s on you and you can play with garbage SS for the remainder of the games lifecycle. Yes Tatis is worth every stub you spend but he could’ve been had for free if you were patient.

Last night I had an interesting encounter with one of those “give me____ and I quit”. This dude messaged me before the game started and I immediately declined. So he responds with a snarky “fine be like that”. Of course he was the home team playing at Coors and immediately started hitting bombs off All Star pitching difficulty. I really didn’t care as I was going to be hitting bombs too. However my ability to hit all of a sudden started becoming warning track heroes. I was like whatever it’s just events. If it was RS I would’ve been pissed with perfect perfect input flying out to the warning track at Coors. So the 3rd inning rolls around and I’m down 5-1. I pause to bring in a pinch hitter for my pitcher. I then unpause and realize that my opponent is now paused. 3 minutes into his pause timer and only having 30 seconds left on the timer he starts messaging me asking “you mad bruh”. He messaged me twice in that same period. I’m like you’re the one who is paused not me. His pause timer runs out and of course I hand him the loss. After the game I messaged him and pointed out that next time he might want to pay more attention to what’s going on Instead of acting like an [censored] messaging me. He got what he deserved. His response, “I don’t got no time for you”. How ironic!!!

You heard it here first that the OP is completely wrong as usual, and also previously posted how "white lives matter" and can't grasp the reasoning behind BLM....

What’s the point of this??? This is not a political forum and that’s a completely unnecessary post that has nothing to do with the topic of this discussion.

So tired of hearing people complain about perfect perfect outs. No one ever stated that perfect perfect contact would result in hits. It’s just a fancy way to say you had really good timing at the point of contact. As I said so what!!! Everyday real baseball players (not video game fanboys) hit perfectly timed balls into outs all the time, or have homeruns stolen by great catches or hit into double plays on balls with exit velocities in excess of 100 mph. It’s baseball and s h i t happens. It’s really annoying the amount of people on this forum that complain about this issue. I get irritated when my perfect perfect contact doesn’t have positive results but than I remember that it’s a game that is simulating the real thing and I’m good. When you complain about this stuff it make you sound like a pretentious whiner. Rant over

@maskedgrappler said in TA Moments 1-3:

Picking away at them now. On that note, how useless is Cliff Lee? Can't get through an inning without giving up a bomb.

I haven’t had any problems with the pitching moments it’s the 3xbh moments that are such a pain.

So 14 Marlins have tested positive as of this morning. Their games are being canceled now and the Reds are concerned about a similar outbreak happening soon in their clubhouse. The Phillies are also on high alert having just played the Marlins. I get a sinking feeling that season is going to be canceled this week.

@DustyDelap said in When time does the Tatis expire:

It said 48 hrs. Anyone know when it came out so I know when it ends. Asking for a friend that won't be home till Thursday..

Why is it so important to your friend?

Whose business is that of yours, he asked a question, if you can’t answer it then move on.

I mean this guy has been lights out from the start. And tonight he made the Yankees vaunted offense look almost pedestrian. And when he did get into trouble in the 5th he managed to only give up a sac fly after starting the inning off by giving up hits to first two batters putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with no one out. The best pitcher that no one talks about. Let’s give him a round of applause.

Yeah here’s a solution, eliminate all star difficulty altogether in RS. HOF for all divisions until 700 and Legend for 701 and up.

@AlbinoRinoGaming said in Easy way to get Gerritt Cole?:

Easiest and cheapest way is to buy a single pack and pull him from it.

And I could buy a single powerball ticket and be a millionaire tomorrow too.

Tunneling is just the ability for a pitcher to throw multiple pitches from the same release point/arm angle. Most pitchers have a hard time doing this because their arm angles don’t allow them to do this. However pitchers like Maddux, Kershaw and Hershiser are great examples of pitch tunneling. It’s that simple

Mark Lemke, Steve Avery, David Freese, Steve Pearce. Plent of guys win post season awards and don’t turn into franchise players. Those are just off the top of my head without the google machine. I’m not buying what you’re selling bro. Been watching baseball for 40 years.

FYI Mark Lemke was a franchise second baseman for the Braves throughout the 90’s. Great glove and serviceable bat. And he did the small things like bunting and was a great base runner. Steve Avery was a great pitcher for 5 years with those same Braves before he sold his soul for free agency and left the organization and moved to Boston where they promptly used him the wrong way and destroyed his pitching shoulder by changing his delivery. But yeah!!!

@GrxxnLikeGator said in Rays and Yanks need to send Cardinals a fruit basket...:

Voit was dealt because he is a poor defender and didn’t project well offensively for Busch III (or anywhere except Yankee Stadium). The Cards did get their best reliever (over last two years) in return.

Nothing Arozarena is doing is remotely sustainable. I’ve seen tons of guys in lifetime do well in first 100-200 major league at bats. He’s going to fall. Soon. And they got one of the best lefty arms in the minors in return. Even TB didn’t think he’d do this. It took lots of failing of the many guys ahead of him on depth chart to fail.

Mo is a top 5 exec in the league.

Arozarena has hit at all levels. Not sure how you say what he is doing is not sustainable. .320-.330 batting average 35-40 homers 110-120 RBI’s 15-25 sb’s are certainly sustainable. Based on his numbers coming up. Sounds like sour grapes if you ask me.

Someone’s going to tell you he had less AB vs LHP and using this formula you’re incorrect.

3.2.1........

.405 slugging percentage left handed vs .391 right handed should just about salt that theory away. Lower amount of at bats per homer lefty than righty. What other metric are we going to base power on. Please tell me.

Hence why his power vs righty is higher than his power vs left. Did you misread the stats or are you choosing to argue against something that agrees with you?

Also his veteran card was for the year 1999 which he had a much higher slugging percentage against lefties than. Righties that year so you are just incorrect as far as that card

You’re absolutely correct, I misinterpreted what I was reading. My apologies to SDS

@saintsfan_1029 said in Are stubs too easy to obtain? (Unpopular opinion?):

Why even have a cap. I wanna see what someone will pay on a truly open market for chipper and AJ Ramos lol

That would be a bad idea! You’ll have 100 or so guys out there absolutely destroying the market (and yes I’m including myself).

So the first card this year I gave SDS a pass on Chipper’s power attributes, which were backwards. However the new card has done it again. Making him a more powerful hitter right handed. This is really an egregious error. Chipper was never a more powerful hitter right handed. In fact Chipper nearly gave up switch hitting early in his career do to the lack of power he had from his right hand side. The numbers don’t lie either, 303 homers left handed 165 right handed. Im sorry but it’s a pretty bad error to make once but twice??? Come on guys. Please fix this problem SDS.
