what is the new stuff they mentioned for thursday? were they just talking about the new season?

Yeah there's a new season, and it looks like there's going to be a tier beyond WS that they're adding. They said 99 Gagne isn't a WS reward so I have no idea what that means.

Lots of unknowns right now...


I want to finish grinding for Hernandez, but there's this events bullshit...and I don't want to do that. But them Ellsbury stubs...

I'm kinda kicking ass in events right now except that one bullshit game I lost 1-0 where I had so many men left on base

Currently 8-1. Likely to be 8-2 after this jinx post

3 more wins needed!
I add a useless Asdrubal Cabrera to the collection!

10-2 :(
Last game was against someone who was 41-14 and went 12-0. Played like it.

Looks like the 3rd reward card for Season Stripes is 92 Rod Carew as many predicted, and that 99 breakout card appears to be 1947 Ralph Kiner based on old streams.

THAT IS THE CARD I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

How is that card gotten!? BR is my guess? The 99 they kind of exposed today was breakout so it's not a season reward.

Oh man, got 161k right now with Gagne on the market, hopefully my reward tomorrow is nice cause I can afford this Molina!


I mostly just don't want to play my CAP at catcher, I'd like to utilize his speed

damn. his attributes do look absurd.

I've decided I'm going all in on this Ellsbury today/tomorrow. He's going for so much right now, will still be a valuable card, but not 120k valuable...hopefully I can still sell him for 6 digits lol

If Ellsbury wasn't worth so much I wouldn't have gone for it, but it's the last one for a while so I'll just torture myself today

Hopefully by the time I sell him it'll be enough to push me over 300k. I'll be going shopping this weekend in this game!

Crazy that 300 won't let me finish the Nationals...

I have some options of what I'm going to do with my team. Depends what I get tomorrow as my diamond.

Happy ranked seasons reward day

May your diamond pack be fruitful and not have a Dallas Keuchel

I missed being the first and second wave of Ellsbury owner so I only got 60k for him after sds tax. Got 296k stubs to play with today...

Good luck to you also. Maybe they will flood the market with some of these overpriced 3B.

Yep. Looking forward to Kris Bryant's overrated, overpriced ass to drop significantly.

Yall got any targets in particular? I've been eyeing Fergie Jenkins (As you can tell from all my Kris Bryant posts lol), but I'm pretty much just going off his 99 rating. Anybody actually faced one yet?

I have him. Probably have pitched 200 innings with him. I've had pretty good success with him.

All year, 2nd and 3rd have been my weak spot at the plate. Hopefully POTM Jose at second and Miggy at 3rd will fix that. I'm looking to fill the hole in the rotation I created by selling Sale to get Jose and the rest of the POTM cards.

Welp I might have sold my Ellsbury too soon. Totally assumed his price would keep tanking but it's kind of shooting way back up...

I remember the good ol' days when "Finish the Rangers epic" would have been a reasonable response. But nah we big ballers now, no one got time for Bum Bell and Ian "No Defense" Kinsler

Bell would be amazing if he could drive the ball. His D is amazing. Just a singles hitter though. I'm sacrificing D to get some more bats in my lineup. If I get enough stubs, I would like to get Tiant.

PS. Playing the CPU on rookie really messed up my HOF hitting in ranked. I feel like I'm terrible.

Haha yeah, there's always that adjustment going back where you gotta remind yourself you can't swing at every pitch now.

You know how you said you start your PCI high and in? I've started doing something similar but I leave my PCI literally in the middle. I sometimes get into a bad habit of going after low strikes early in the count which usually result in a ground out or pop out. If I'm having to move my left stick down, it's a signal to myself to not swing.

I tried it for a good week last season and I was too inconsistent and struggled hitting high in the zone. There was moments where it clicked and I thought it was he best option for hitting but then I just sucked. I'm like the Gary Sheffield of hitting. Your supposed to have a relaxed stance, no movement, have less moving parts but I feel like too hyped up hitting. You should see me hitting, I move around, put my hand in the air if I think it's a bomb, moving my PCI around the zone constantly until the wind up starts.

Oh god. How many times do we have to go through this?!?!

I ended up in CS. I hope they gift me a free WS pack like they did for many last season!


.......This is the new card they release today?
How many Orlando Cepedas do we need

Looks like the update happened, the weekly packs are the pack in a pack thing.

Didn't get my loot though...doesn't look like anyone has.

The new Gagne looks like a roided version of the Breakout one and they added a splitter.



Lindor a gold now and his price taaaaaaaanked
Yes they made Fullmer a gold!
Lucroy became silver
Correa a 90 now
Felipe rivero is gold
Cueto a gold now as well

Those are biggest changes I noticed

Nice, I'm gonna make 8k or so if I sell Correa, I'd rather keep seager


One of my bases loaded packs had a 20 bundle in it and that had Sal Perez, 2 gold equipment and rookie McCann..... Lol

I'm waiting to get my own rewards before I get those packs. Don't trust these bastards one bit

Set 8 packs got that Molina and Cepeda
Instead of buying a bunch of packs I'll probably buy the Molina outright but his price might be insane for now...


World Series division pack:
Breakout Legend Ralph Kiner (Diamond 99 OVR, LF)
Hardware Legend Eric Gagne (Diamond 99 OVR, CP)
Hardware Legend Rod Carew (Diamond 92 OVR, 1B)
Breakout Legend Shawn Green (Gold 88 OVR, RF)
1 guaranteed Gold Live Series player items

Championship Series division pack
Hardware Legend Eric Gagne (Diamond 99 OVR, CP)
Hardware Legend Rod Carew (Diamond 92 OVR, 1B)
Breakout Legend Shawn Green (Gold 88 OVR, RF)
1 guaranteed Gold Live Series player items

wtf. Cs players get Gagne too? That's bullshit

I guess I shouldn't bitch about it, but it's going to be really bizarre when everybody has the same closer.

God damn I just want to open packs and get a Yadi...

BTW rewards should be rolling out soon.

People are just now posting they got rewards.

I don't think anybody in WS did yet though. Lincecums are out on the market but not AS Cabrera.

LMAO somebody put up 20 buy now orders of Lincecum at 2k, and people are actually selling it to that guy. He knows damn well he's about to make a nice profit off these impatient folks.


Literally the last pack I pulled in the bases loaded set was that 99 Kimbrel. So I made a profit. I'll take it!

I keep on refreshing the Diamond Dynasty tab trying to get my Miggy, sell him for the 180k buy order, then buying him again for 60k. Lol.
 
P

ph33nix

MWO
Yeah that Miggy is sinking like crazy...

Might as well hold on. I wonder if someone actually sold him for 180 lol

Oh shit! Nolan Arenado!

Just to make sure. This is literally the worst time to sell my Arenado, right?
 
P

ph33nix

MWO
Yeah I don't plan on keeping him but I'm in no rush to sell him now because I should be able to get at least 60k for him if I'm patient. Sitting pretty at 311k right now with several unsold golds :D

I also don't really care that much to finish the Cubs now. Gave some more thought to it, and it is probably a waste to lock all those stubs on Kris Bryant just to get Fergie Jenkins, knowing there will be pitchers released in the future who are just as good.

around how high is correa going to end up? i have 3 that i want to sell. i'm guessing it will be several days for it to peak?

I honestly have a hard time gauging that market. 90-93 diamonds are probably at its lowest value right now, and he's a former gold card a lot of people already had so I'm not sure his value will be much. I think he was going between 15-20 last time I looked...

Correa is probably staying around where he is since he was a gold for so long, most golds that go diamond at this point of the season don't go much higher

Got 24,998 stubs for Correa........there is an 8 card logjam at 25k

Crap, the 8 card logjam was pulled, it's at 26k now

Oh wow, it might actually get to the 30k range, kinda surprising
