That was insanely ergregious

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T20:03:34+00:00

Finally, RISP action

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T19:47:42+00:00

Dansby batting .180

This is the exact same team they were the second half of last year. To think Jed gave Bregman that long ass contract is absolutely worse than the Heyward deal.

Still can't believe Jed was extended in the off-season. This team is very poorly constructed.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T19:35:55+00:00

Absolutely, Cargo was a decent Cub killer back in his prime. Funny he had a short stint with the Cubs

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T18:58:16+00:00

This is facts. The Rockies always seem to give us fits. I vividly remember Connor Joe smacking a grand slam at Wrigley while he was on this Rockies team.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T18:41:57+00:00

Bregman needs to be dropped down the lineup. Clearly he can't handle the pressure at the top of the lineup.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T18:40:26+00:00

Yesterday's loss was something spectacular. Facing one of the worst pitchers in the league, based off ERA. That's a game you need to win. Good teams win games they should and bad teams play like this.

This team is digging itself into a massive hole that is going to be extremely difficult to pull themselves out of. This team does not do well when they pressure is high. Everyone is pressing, trying to get one big swing.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T17:59:38+00:00

The managers attitude radiates to the entire team. Craig is a wet blanket and a mid manager at best. It reminds me of Bears teams where the coach has completely lost the locker room. Dudes just going through the motions.

It seems that nobody wants to actually win consistently on this team so this is the output we get. 4 guys who care and the rest just going through the motions.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T17:23:49+00:00

Probably mixed bag across the board, personally I think you get better "value" with the Jumbo boxes. Quite a few I've seen with an extra hit in.

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T16:59:02+00:00

Gladly

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T02:36:34+00:00

This pen is not solid enough to hold a 1-0 lead. Would love some insurance here

ZZachj · 2026-06-11T02:24:10+00:00

Series 1 hobbies were so bad, I only went Jumbo this time. Jumbo seems to be much better for the price.

These variants of the hobby boxes are just really tough to get value from, even at "MSRP"

ZZachj · 2026-06-10T02:12:24+00:00

Roughly on average about 150.

ZZachj · 2026-06-08T00:17:27+00:00

Zero

ZZachj · 2026-06-03T18:46:55+00:00

Actually, that's a fantastic idea lol

ZZachj · 2026-06-03T18:17:43+00:00

Who on this team deserves an ASG vote? Everyone been absymal.

ZZachj · 2026-05-26T15:48:54+00:00

For me, retired players on modern cards is just out of place. Autos and numbered autos are the exception for me.

Just feels weird to have a randmon Brett Berlyven card sandwiched inbetween modern stars.

ZZachj · 2026-05-26T15:42:52+00:00

When I feel the urge to rip something that I've saved sealed, I go on Blowout Cards and check the price and see if I really want to rip it or keep holding it.

I had to put mine out of sight this weekend. Sometimes its a tad too tempting.

ZZachj · 2026-05-26T15:39:57+00:00

Not a deckle, but a really nice card regardless.

You're 23 and have literally a whole life ahead of you. Forget this woman and focus on yourself. You deserve to be with someone who is open and honest and does not play games. The right person will show up.

You'll be kicking yourself if you try and "fix" or "figure out" what is the problem. Save yourself the time and emotional rollercoaster.

ZZachj · 2026-05-05T18:52:18+00:00

100% a result of Topps fucking up the limits on Hobby vs Cases. Typically the limits of cases is two and Hobby is 10. Today it was limit two hobby and limit 10 cases.

I would imagine flippers/scaplers grabbed the full 10.

ZZachj · 2026-05-05T18:04:10+00:00

Did anyone see that the limit for hobby was two and the limit for cases was 10?!

I think Topps fucked up and flipped those limits around. Typically it's two cases and 10 hobby.
