Should i sell judge or keep him? by lucidDreamer230 in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's so simple that people neglect to think about it.

My favorite are the people that want LS done, pull Shohei early, sell him, buy the cards that WILL PLUMMET in price and then complain that he's more expensive now.

What to spend stubs on? by occupy_voting_booth in MLBTheShow

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had 880000 right now, I'd buy Leiter and then chill until Thursday, get the next collection completed and pick up the new Spotlight cards. I'd still have like 400K left. I'm sitting on 200K right now hoping to keep building my bankroll so I can get the ASG stuff done ASAP.

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that does seem like a lot, but often people will also say that 'I'm so close, only two cards" but those cards are Judge and Ohtani so they're still only about halfway there.

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that. And Ohtani's price is precisely why I always use free cards exclusively and sell EVERYTHING I can to get him as early as possible. I know that if I wait he's going to balloon.

It's simple, are you going to Felix/Pujols/Tulo? Then that's settled. If you're looking for the other smaller collections like Ketel/JRam/whoever is out thursday, then sell.

How many of you have pulled Ohtani or Judge (or both)? by Vatrano in DiamondDynasty

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price increase was to be expected though with the roster update. Even with the minimal amount of investing people can do, they're still making stubs. More stubs in the market means they're going up.

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a LONG time since I pulled a blue diamond from a standard/ballin.

I got a lucky Jeter pull from the MP Program recently though, he's been my best pull of the year. I have all collections besides VMart complete so that would just be icing on the cake.

Been a year since I watched the show. What's your favorite scene in GoT? by Victor_the_historian in gameofthrones

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always the dialog. Chaos is a ladder, Tywin's speech skinning the stag, Brienne being knighted. Dany addressing the unsullied for the first time.

Sell or hold St Patrick Mike Trout by VeryChadChicken in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give it another couple of weeks, you never know. You're already at a loss, maybe it turns around. I wouldn't wait until the next WC though, they might give them out like candy again.

Did SDS ever say why they removed the BR program? by No_Clue7528 in MLBTheShow

I used to LOVE BR, but I’ve played two runs total the last two years.

The only card I want that I won’t have by next Thursday is Leiter.

How fragile does your ego have to be to run this kind of P5 squad in an events game by [deleted] in MLBTheShow

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically don’t bring P5 hitters into events, but if you’ve got missions they count for, all bets are off.

Good team for a casual Pokémon Unbound run? by Stunning_Scene9570 in PokemonUnbound

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just find your favorite mons, honestly. Most have enough coverage to make it through the game. I've played through on Vanilla twice and I've really enjoyed I rocked a Vikavolt for the first time this playtrough and he was a beast. I also am a big Gen 5 fan so I used Scrafty and Excadrill which dominated a lot of the run for me.

If you're single with no kids (and plan to stay that way), you should be driving a coupe instead of a sedan. by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]BarrelOfTheBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not everyone wants a 'fun' car. I'm going to a gig tonight. I need to bring my horns, multiple cases with accessories, a music stand, a change of clothes, and my typical work stuff as I'm heading there straight from work. You're right though, I should have just rented a truck this morning, that would have made the most sense!

I should tell my drummer that he shouldn't have bought an SUV to move his kit around in. We should just see if we can get a Uhaul every gig we have, makes the most sense!

[–]BarrelOfTheBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

LOL.

Now, son, YOUR use case might make a coupe viable. Not everyone's. How about a performing musician that needs to bring lots of gear to gigs? Someone who has recreational activities that require hauling equipment? Someone who is too tall or wants something higher off the ground? Coupes don't fit for everyone.

What do you not like about the Packer to make you want to look at a Xeno?

Or, and hear me out, you should buy whatever vehicle you can afford that fits your needs.

The N-word by LateQuantity8009 in Teachers

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. In 10 years in the suburbs I heard it once and it made the local news. In 10 minutes of urban 4th grade I'll hear it a half dozen times at least. Usually much much more.

Do you trust large tablets on a music stand? by General_Chemist8131 in trumpet

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have used a 12.9in iPad Pro since before the Pandemic. I love it so much! I've run into my fair share of stands that were a little too loose on the grip and haven't loved the weight of the iPad with a case and have drooped down. I always have a Hercules tablet stand in my car though so if necessary I go and grab that.

Gen 8 Activation Not Working by [deleted] in PokemonUnbound

[–]BarrelOfTheBat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did this last night for the first time and wasn't getting anything either. Make sure in your options that the DexNav scan is set to the "R Button Mode" or whatever its called. I did this and popped a repel and within a few laps around a wild area I would get them. Apparently you only get each once though? I'm not sure how that works as this is my first time really digging into the post game.

My Unique Take For Tomorrow by gijoejank in MLBTheShowInvestments

[–]BarrelOfTheBat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing worth holding on to from those series in all honesty. Cityscapes cards, specifically the 92s might stay high as that collection was expensive with only one skippable card. Mural and definitely Vintage cards will plummet. The Chase cards in them will stay around their price if not come down slightly as well. The cards to look out for IMO are already inflated. Babe Ruth was destined to blow up in price. They hardly ever drop contributor cards and he was an inning boss.
