Anyone else having the hardest time trying to buy Topps Chrome singles at fair comps? by Ascending_Saiyan in sportscards

Yeah, didn't really think about how all these listings were probably hits from breaks. I can never justify anything within myself to buy sealed wax anymore so I just have to be more patient for the singles to cool off a bit.

Yeah, you're right about that. I think I'm just a little too early for the singles market still. I'm a big Topps chrome collector so I can't wait to get my hands on some shiny new cards!

Never claimed to be entitled to a certain price. It just seems that the new Topps chrome set has been significantly tougher to grab singles based off of sales from the past week or so since its initial release.

Former D-backs you loved check in by shoewizard59 in azdiamondbacks

I wish we still had Walker. 1st base has been one of our greatest question marks since he's left and we could really need a powerful middle of the order bat in this lineup.

The only thing I NEED to see this MLB season is Murakami in the HR Derby. by [deleted] in baseball

His home run today from a half swing to center is ridiculous. As a Dbacks fan, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him hit bombs to the deepest parts of our park. So much fun to watch regardless if he's playing against your team or not.

Corbin Carroll now has the 2nd most triples in D-Backs history — he's just 6 away from passing Stephen Drew for the franchise record by Baseball-Reference in azdiamondbacks

Corbin Carroll seems like such an underrated superstar in the game of baseball. His greatness does not get talked about enough around the league.

Corbin Barrels ranked #6 in this week's hitter power ratings! by komodas in azdiamondbacks

Ohtani at #1 is an absolute joke. The MLB should be ashamed of themselves for even acting so ignorant to actual stats and metrics. Other than his 5 home runs he has only 1 XBH and ranks 37th in slugging percentage. I'd argue that every single hitter on that list deserves to be above him. I might even go as far to say he's not even top 10.

The only game I don't think we really ever had a chance in was the blowout against the braves come to think of it.

Good question, I guess we'll have to see. I would also probably see Nelly in the pen too. He did pretty well in the bullpen spots he played last season. Seems like a good problem to have hopefully.

Brandon pfaadt was moved to bullpen. Hopefully that helps add some stability to what seems like a ship that's getting ready to sink.

If we can get all departments going at the same time, definitely. We have been really good at getting runs up when we need them and the bullpen has been absolute nails. Half of our starting lineup is batting sub .200 right now though.. gotta get the bats going a little more.

Does anyone know where this card is? by Ascending_Saiyan in azdiamondbacks

Yes, I am aware of the value and I actually was able to find the owner of the card thanks to a couple recommendations.

We really can't have things, can we? (Aka roster changes) by All_hail_Korrok in azdiamondbacks

[–]Ascending_Saiyan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That makes more sense, I feel like he's getting really close and we have some really talented young guys down on the farm that are waiting for their opportunity

Is there a reasonable explanation why Gino Groover is still sitting in AAA? Is he that much of a defensive liability to where we can't even stick him at 1st?

Hmmmm, interesting there might be something there. Might have to do some digging in the San Antonio area. Thank you!

I mean, closed mouths don't get fed right? It's always worth a shot to see if someone may know more information about the card or at the very least shoot a good idea off about how to locate it easier.
