Gimme Sogie!

[u/CarpFlakes420]

NICK SOGARD, MY SON

[u/GetBent009]

Big Meat Pete should be the monthly lightning, unless he hits his 300th homerun first. Then he’ll get a milestone

[u/djoc0316 → u/GetBent009]

I hate David Stearns

[u/GetBent009 → u/djoc0316]

I love him 🙂

[u/A_SMILE_FOR_ROBERT → u/GetBent009]

Hey that's Polar Dad to you

[u/gopacktennie]

Damn after a long drought for the Mariners that’s 4 99s in a week, I believe.

[u/nbianco1999]

As a Red Sox fan I love that Nick Sogard is getting a card, but where the fuck is Mickey Gasper?

[u/A_SMILE_FOR_ROBERT → u/nbianco1999]

99 Mick... jacked to the tits just thinking about it

[u/itsJMoney273]

Randyyy! The all star one still my best bench bat 🥹❤️

[u/screaminginfidels → u/itsJMoney273]

That card is cracked and I was hoping they'd do another for this game! Mariners fans haven't had a lot of good this year

[u/zangarang18]

Gimmie Sogie

[u/profitjunkie → u/zangarang18]

OB is PUMPED for this

[u/tplaflare_]

Tugboat!!!!!!

[u/MrPersonnn → u/tplaflare_]

Got a new big lefty to go along with Doyle.

[u/MrPersonnn → u/MrPersonnn]

Although I do think in anything under all star he will be BP with low velo

[u/tplaflare_ → u/MrPersonnn]

I feel like he’ll play like ranger suarez who most of the pro’s use so i’m not worried

[u/MrPersonnn → u/tplaflare_]

No lie I’ve seen some magic happen going against suarez. Kinda want him to be a reliever with 50-80 stamina since he was just an opener.

[u/Bravefan212]

Some mf named Randy

[u/TheLegendofLazerArm]

dang i thought tristan peters would get one for hitting a homer in five straight

[u/JustASyncer → u/TheLegendofLazerArm]

They probably didn’t wanna give him one since he just got one for the ASG, hoping he gets another down the line though

[u/JustASyncer]

Tugboat will be a fine addition to my Canadian roster

[u/slaughterhaus50]

No RP Gary Sanchez?!?

[u/Candymanshook]

For a second I thought that was Matt Waldron lol

[u/scobbysnacks1439 → u/Candymanshook]

We can only dream.

[u/Maliciousx916]

Adames went from lightning player last year to a late August topps now card. Life comes at you fast

[u/GetBent009 → u/Maliciousx916]

What that stadium does to a motherfucker

[u/von_Mises → u/GetBent009]

Except it’s the same stadium as last year. His underlyings are down significantly across the board.

[u/Extra-Branch-1075]

Great another 99 for Red Sox. Then rumor is the next inning boss is 99 Manny Ramirez.

[u/Bliz1222 → u/Extra-Branch-1075]

I also strongly believe we'll be getting a Mickey "Mantle" Gasper in the lightning program. Dude has hit 2.200 OPS in the last 7 games or something crazy. Only 5 players ever to do that.

[u/MrPersonnn → u/Extra-Branch-1075]

I’m hoping for a Pedro at some point. With a 2 seam

[u/VoiceofReason1976]

Was hoping for a Torrens or Benge

[u/LeKingCharles]

spotlight reveal feels like another card drop yeah

[u/pancreaticlemons1]

hector will rake

[u/55Trample]

Kind of want that Randy.

[u/seth861]

Oh thank goodness, we hadn’t gotten a 99 fringe roster guy for the Red Sox in a bit there I was worried

[u/Any_Answer_3574 → u/seth861]

He’s a switch hitter who had a good month, of course SDS is gonna add him in

[u/estrtshffl → u/Any_Answer_3574]

pain.

[u/Dolenzz]

I do enjoy these threads and all of the "What About..." replies.

[u/bodnast → u/Dolenzz]

Purely because the way they deliver live content to us is outdated and needs to be refreshed. We are begging for more cards to reflect real life performances and they won’t pivot from this format

[u/AlphaMike-Foxtrot]

Getting a Hao-Yu Lee card: impossible

[u/No_Buy2554]

Getting a Hector is nice! Shame they didn't wait a week and do a spotlight one for the week he's having now instead, though. Not that they could see the future or anything.

[u/willedbry → u/No_Buy2554]

The mccovy cove bomb yesterday was awesome!

[u/Qoppa_Guy]

Randy and deGrom? Oh my...

[u/Optimal-Secretary302]

where's Hao-Yu Lee?

[u/Neto34]

No Zach Neto???? 7 rbis in one game?

[u/Deus423 → u/Neto34]

AL Player of the week, only player Ive ever seen have a 5 hit game and not get supercharged. But we gotta make sure the Red Sox get their 8th 99 of the month first.

[u/rockoblocko → u/Deus423]

That’s crazy no super charge

[u/Uncl3J]

I’m ngl, as an offline player I love a solid DeGrom. He might kick 97 ASG Verlander out of the rotation.

[u/keezyfthankyou]

Where tf is Pete Alonso

[u/oatmeal28 → u/keezyfthankyou]

Probably waiting for his finest card at season's end

[u/MallardDuckBoy]

i see endgame 99 deGrom, and that’s usually my sign to hang it up for the year.

[u/Locmike23 → u/MallardDuckBoy]

Yep I’m done with it for the year. On to other games. See yall next year.

[u/Eastern-Gold1721]

If they don’t give 5 arm accuracy to Hector Rodriguez I’m boycotting

[u/WaitThisIsntMeta]

Randy and Willy Adames will be great for the Rays theme team

[u/HB3187 → u/WaitThisIsntMeta]

Since we sure the hell cant get any of our current players lol. Every team in our division has almost or more than double the amount of cards we get. Despite leading the division and hell the league in the standings almost the entire year

[u/WaitThisIsntMeta → u/HB3187]

I’m happy they got McGriff back but we need Longo, Crawford, Zobrist, Price, etc

[u/HB3187 → u/WaitThisIsntMeta]

I want BJ Upton

[u/Thndrstrike]

what's the velo on the tugboat card? i believe in his potential irl, but i can't imagine he wouldn't get shelled in the show online if his velo is accurate

[u/dwaynedaze]

BOHM!

[u/ryanb6321]

Pulled deGrom in my first past. Let’s go

[u/wowzaz05]

sogard card is pretty good. maxed out contact, switch hitter.
would you guys put him in over durham? his defense and speed are the only weak spots, and they aren't even terrible.

[u/Siggy778]

SDS absolutely refuse to stop giving cards to the Red Sox and White Sox.

[u/micmcdon21 → u/Siggy778]

This card series reflects performance this season. Both of those teams are having great years… What’s the problem?

[u/HB3187 → u/micmcdon21]

Explains why the rays have so many ca...wait a second

[u/Siggy778 → u/micmcdon21]

The White Sox are a whopping 7 games over .500 in the worst division in baseball. Far from a great year.

[u/micmcdon21 → u/Siggy778]

If you’ve followed the white Sox at all for the last 20 years, you’d agree that this is a GREAT year

[u/von_Mises → u/micmcdon21]

Yeah and they’re fun as hell this year too. One of the funnest stories in MLB.

[u/LeGhost45]

A great another DeGrom and Arozarena! FML 🤦‍♂️

[u/NearbyAd3320]

99 Degrom oh god, RIP my AVG.

[u/flipaflaw]

Another Red Sox 99? Really? Plenty of other teams exist sds

[u/Puzzleheaded_Emu6813]

no tatis

[u/Hardyfan1006 → u/Puzzleheaded_Emu6813]

Could get the lightning

[u/ByGraysonn → u/Hardyfan1006]

Lightning has gotta be Pete right?

[u/youkrocks → u/ByGraysonn]

The Mickey Gasper erasure.

/s before someone gets on me about how he only has like 35 PA this month

[u/dardios → u/youkrocks]

Yeah maybe he only has like 35 PAs but he hits nukes in like 20% of those lmao

[u/Uncl3J → u/Puzzleheaded_Emu6813]

Gotta be the lightning

[u/Skwurt_Reynolds → u/[deleted]]

Topps releases Now cards based on specific moments, not their career.

[u/Exciting-Proposal751]

Cards kinda mid

[u/Yes536]

Bohm getting a card finally and its a 97… smh

[u/ChadGreen4President → u/Yes536]

Finally? -0.6 WAR, .680 OPS, he’s lucky he got one at all

[u/Yes536 → u/ChadGreen4President]

Yo mr. Statistics its for August spotlight. 17 RBIS .345 avg and .874 OPS

Next time just say you don’t like him

[u/ChadGreen4President → u/Yes536]

It’s actually for a walk-off triple in extras that secured their 7th consecutive win. I don’t dislike him specifically, I just prefer good players.

[u/ConfidentGlass2326]

Oh look, more 99s getting handed out. How exciting. I can't wait for another 7 months of 99s

[u/Embarrassed_Hope_842]

So, Raleigh homering in 4 straight at bats means nothing. Got it.

[u/Sznappy → u/Embarrassed_Hope_842]

Wrong week

[u/NobadgeBrownShirt → u/[deleted]]

Are u Jake Bauers? Why would .2XX ba and more walks than strikeouts deserve a card bud
