Cooperstown Bound Centerfielders!

@M1cMac1 Hey nope it’s a formula! See the link below for details, also has more general explanations for how cards are built. #points" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/mgula57/mlb_sh…

@mlbshowdownbot How do you calculate the points that a card is worth? I haven't been able to see a definitive definition of card points anywhere. Is it just a vibes-thing?

Newest member of the Cooperstown Collection! Congrats to Jeff Kent

🚨 New on Showdown Bot! 🚨 Want to find cards from the best seasons ever… or historically rough ones? You can now sort by real stats on the Explore tab. Just sort by your stat of choice and instantly surface the legends (and the outliers) from baseball history

@BobBumbarger @mlbshowdownguru Even if they put a mismatching image, the name of the player still signifies what the card represents. If I give people access to change both, one could hypothetically make a chart for Aaron Judge but change the name and image to Anthony Volpe. Would cause a lot of confusion

@mlbshowdownbot @mlbshowdownguru How is that different from image?

Just had a great conversation with @mlbshowdownbot . We discussed how awesome the tool is for making a full set. He also shared common feedback he gets and what might be coming down the pike. youtube.com/watch?v=NCXKam…

@BobBumbarger @mlbshowdownguru For the nicknames I am going to have more added in the future, don’t want freeform text because people will abuse that

@mlbshowdownbot @mlbshowdownguru Oh really? I assumed it would just be replacing the art layer with 00. Heck idc if all the font and everything stays. I just like the ability to change it. For the nickname yes. I’m just trying to avoid photoshop for something simple.

@BobBumbarger @mlbshowdownguru Hey love the feedback. Here’s thoughts on each - Use 01 stats with 00 art: might be something I can do in the future, but is a massive lift. - custom nickname: would you want to input a name different than their bref nicknames? - Awards: I have an idea for this, totally agree

@mlbshowdownguru @mlbshowdownbot Things I’d like to see -ability to keep art style of a year but use stats of a different year - custom nickname. - all for the award icons that show up in the later sets to appear graphically for the 00/01 sets. I’d love to know who was the ROY or HR leader at a glance in 00

@mlbshowdownguru Down!

I would love to do a recording session and discuss my thoughts making a full set and put your feet to the fire on a wish list of features.

@mlbshowdownguru Love it! I just started to watch your 2025 video series. Awesome to see the passion for crafting sets. Is very insightful to see how different people go about it. Slowly working on features to make it even easier in the future so stay tuned!

The V1 of my 2025 #MLBShowdown set is available. I am sure there are plenty of things to be polished. I couldn't have turn this around as quickly as I did without all the great work from @mlbshowdownbot . drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

2025 Rookie of the Year (RY) icons are live on Showdown Bot, both great roster options!

🛠️ New Showdown Bot Explore Feature You can now filter by award winners — CYA, MVP, ROY, AS, GG, SS. For CYA, MVP, and ROY, you can also filter by all players who received votes, not just the winner. Makes it easier than ever to debate who really deserved the 2006 AL MVP 😄

Award season is officially here 🏆 — which means 2025 MLB Showdown Icons! The Gold Glove (G) icon is live now on Showdown Bot 🔥 Who's making it onto your roster? #MLBShowdown #GoldGlove

Back to back! #WorldSeries

Finally time for World Series Game 1! Who you got? #WorldSeries

Impossible! 3 HR + 10 K’s 🤯

May need an IP increase

The Showdown Bot brings us a lot of joy You can make Showdown cards for any individual player-season based on the OG formulas from 2000-01 MLB Showdown game, but the insane ones based on small sample sizes (like 2025 postseason Vlad Jr.) are so, so fun to contemplate

He’s arrived

@BobBumbarger That dive into home may have upgraded him to speed A lol

@mlbshowdownbot Better upgrade that speed! ;) did u see those wheels

Vladdy in the regular season 💪 Vladdy in the postseason 👽📈🚀
