    Got all the way down to like 630 at one point but have been on a heater in ranked. I think I'm 8-1 in last 9 since that awful streak. Ended at 818. Curious if I drop to 700 or 600 tonight.

    Willpépé I bought Seager when I was doing Mo, just took Wieters. I have Prince already too. Any reason for me to get the others, Sandburg and Ryan? Will they be part of a future collection?[/QUOTE]
    Have to assume so, what I recently did was buy every card under 20k. For bigger purchases I’m just chipping away at the market then buying one at a time.

    Is now a decent time to buy those? Probably would have been better last week huh?

    Honestly not sure, I’ve been working in the 30-40 k range lately and they seem to be dropping slightly. Keep in mind a ton are silvers and golds, also if you go into a card you can look at the market tab to see where they land the night before. That’s a good indication if it’s up or down.

    Yeah you could potentially get two per season. 900 rank and 40 wins.

    Ranked seasons when in there hit R1. Season started an hour ago so I’m guessing you’re at zero.

    edit started two days ago. For some reason I am at zero still

    Frick now I’m facing Edwardo at Shippett. First time I’ve ever matched up with a person from the same city as me at least based on his team name.

    Finally get to Edwardo, hit a 3R HR to go up 4-3. Then the bottom of that inning (7th), lead off guy flies out but Ohtani had some weird ass animation glitch and over runs it so it turns into a double. Couple batters later same shit happens on a blooper to tie the game. Two batters later bomb off Hader to go down 6-4. Don’t think I’ve been this mad at a video game in awhile lol

    Haha I’m an idiot. I’ve never actually looked at his card, only seen the little thumbnail version and I guess the D looked like an O to me, so it’s been an O since.

    Checked TA2 and was surprised to see I was only 17pts away from “Ed”. Forgot I packed Realmuto last week and didn’t sell him since he’s only like 10K. He was worth a ton in the exchange, so ended up buying two Keith Hernandez cards for like 5.5K each and now have Ed in the rotation.

    Got a couple games of conquest in with pinpoint and I would not describe my pitching as that quite yet. I am going to complete the Juan program today using pinpoint to force my hand. Also going to attempt to beat SF on AS with it. If I can do that I will feel comfortable enough going into an online matchup.

    For some reason, when I go to look at my inventory (to sell duplicates) using theshow.com...it only lets me see Orioles players. I've reset the filters on the left side of the screen, reloaded the page multiple times, etc. Still, only Orioles. Why am I in Oriole hell? Anybody else have this issue?

    DeGrom is 95 and he may be the most underrated card in the game. No control or break.

    Chev was running through SP cards and made a good point. The overall rating is a joke. If you have a minute, compare 95 DeGrom to 94 Cabrera. The control and break are on a different levels. Not even close. One is having the best season we've seem since Pedro and the other hasn't pitched in the bigs.

    Right, go look at his actual numbers. His break and control are atrocious. 62 control on a slider that he dots all day irl.

    Oh I know. I was using him on an event the other day, inside edge said he was a 99. If he was a 99 it was the worst I ever used. Then you have old Edwardo where you really don't even need to aim.

    I was wondering about that last night when I was searching the market for SPs. It felt like there were a few guys that had better ratings or at least pitch mix but were way cheaper than other 90+ SPs. Almost felt like I was missing something so hesitated to buy any.

    DeGrom should be 99 velocity with outlier and 90+ control and break on every pitch. The man has more RBI than ER this year and we're in June. I understand the prospect cards bc they need content but those cards shouldn't be drastically better than the elite stars of live series. Legends ok, but not prospects.

    I think the high rated LS cards go for more bc they are more rare and you need them for the LS collection. But DeGrom and Cole aren't good compared to the legends and prospect cards.

    The other day after Kelenic got demoted after he was like 0/39, I was thinking what if that just made it so the prospect card got removed from the game lol

    Tips for the new showdown? Hoping it’s all righties again — in which case I’ll draft Sizemore over Glaus.
