    5 pitches for Mo is nice, his 87ovr card is nasty as is.

    Love Mo but can't take a closer over a bat.

    Been trying to find a LF I like. Was contemplating throwing Jackie out there when I get the 99 unlocked but I might have to take Larry and put him in left.

    With the defense you’re getting with Walker compared to Papi, I feel like that’s who I’ll take.

    It sucks because my outfield is more than serviceable right now but oh well.

    Definitely will go for Walker. It'll allow me to sell some of my diamond OFs to finish some of the more expensive collections.

    Damn Ellsbury went up like 5K already, might put a sell order in before dinner and hope for the best. Either way 55K+ stubs for a “free” card is fine with me.

    Wow that side by side with Walker and Sheffield stats was crazy. Definitely would rather have Walker plus I usually hit better with lefties anyway.

    Might go up a little more but it's hard to know for sure. People will be buying him so they can get the voucher for 75 stars towards these 5th inning guys.

    Exactly, might just take what I can get while I can after the price already spiked a little after the announcement.

    Added him for 57,600 and he sold in about 45 seconds. Puts me at 190K stubs. Not sure what to even do with all those now.

    I always am hesitant to unload on new guys knowing there could be a better one coming the way they put out new cards.

    Oh yeah for sure. I’ll probably buy either Saber or Grienke because they’re like 30K but look to be quality starters. After that TBD. Really need a catcher but not a whole lot there yet.

    The Salvy card is pretty good for a catcher.

    If you have all 3 of the prior inning boss cards you can exchange those for a “voucher” that gets you 75 of the 300 points needed for the next inning guys.

    How does one unlock all 3 bosses? Does it start over after you get to 300?

    Chapman is like 143K and he’s a 97, but since the Mo card is easier to get I’d imagined he’ll come down after awhile.

    Yea most bosses end up at around 50k after a while. It's the World Series guys that cost a fortune.

    Yeah, I could see Mo being a little higher because he’s a 99, but like you said hard to spend a fortune on a dude you can use for 1/9 of a game usually since most closers get tired insanely fast.

    These bosses will probably be a couple hundred thousand or more at first. They'll settle in at 75-90kish if I had to guess.

    Those mid level diamonds drop or stay flat. I know you sold him but strongly consider Realmuto if you need a stand in catcher for cheap, not sure if you gave him a chance. He’s got pop and some speed so he’s not a liability going first to third or 2 to home. You’re also not losing many stubs at the price that Salvador or Bench are going for if you want to test drive them.

    Disclaimer forever. A’s catcher Sean Murphy is an 86. He’s a cum rag.

    IDK I feel like there are comparable options on my roster and forthcoming for the OF but there won’t be a better reliever and the similar options are stupid expensive

    This is all new to me I am only a few months in. Phils are my team, I can’t hit but I did do their collection first because that’s what you do most times. So that said I used him a ton.

    Didn’t even realize this because I guess I just assume Bonds won’t ever be in an MLB game, but I guess that Walker clip on the stream opened up with showing the Giants stadium and it got people hyped thinking it was Bonds. Even the developers joked about it I guess. Kind of funny for them to do.

    I played well with him in Showdown, but skipped out on him because I have enough Braves eating innings.

    Looks like the 5th inning goes up to 900 points again. Leads me to believe that there’s going to be another substantial dump at least mid way through this inning.

    Doing the same, knocked out 95% of Conquest this morning. It's pretty damn big, took me a while to encircle everyone. It's not Jackie level big but it's damn close. Tons of packs in there.

    Yeah the pic I saw online looked huge. Conquest isn’t hard just a damn grind though at least.

    My GF’s “home office” is in the basement and she has a meeting until 1pm so I got booted until it’s over. Delaying my start at the road to Walker.

    The Walker reveal prompted me to look up his stats. Had no idea how many seasons he hit .350+.

    Makes sense that the 99s won’t come until stage 4.

    Can’t outright buy his card but you can buy the exchanges to earn him

    Indirectly, you can dump stubs into cards for other AL East teams that you exchange for TA points, but realistically, this is a showdown grind.
