Konnor to 10 in the house. 🔥

@gang_doppel @CardPurchaser This is the correct take.

I can’t believe how stupid baseball fans are, acting like Judge isn’t clutch. This is his stat line; if you don’t know baseball, my advice is to log off. @CardPurchaser

@FinFreedom414 B and it’s not even close. By 40 the toughest part of parenting (sleepless nights) is well in rear view mirror. It’s a short phase.

Imagine you had to choose your life at age 40: Option A: Single. No kids. $10M net worth. Travel anywhere. Total freedom. Quiet house. Quiet holidays. Option B: Married. 3 kids. $1M net worth. Drive a Toyota. Chaos every morning. Loud house. Full dinner table. Be honest, which life are you choosing?

@JustinWolfers I think some genius inside the administration thought that eliminating the navy would somehow prevent Iran from blocking the strait. Not realizing Iran has been planning for this for decades and is a few chess moves ahead.

I kid you not... The same White House that forgot that didn't realize that Iran might close the Strait of Hormuz, is now arguing (through Ron Vara) that the war is a good idea because it'll prevent Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz.

@mvphobbyclub @CardPurchaser Me too

I love gold @CardPurchaser

@Topps This IS one of the greatest modern cards of all time. WOW!

JUST PULLED: Shohei Ohtani's 1-of-1 Dynasty Black Logoman autograph from his historic 3 HR, 10-strikeout NLCS Game 4 has been found. One of Shohei's greatest cards of all time 🔥

@Nesterp99 Relic Autos are Dynasty then everything else. $2250 case of Sterling two cards per box… have hit two 1/1. Each has demand at LESS than half box value. Not even break even. If both were in same box I’d have lost 30%.

@Nesterp99 No hobby Aura and some products are DO NOT BUY. I’d put Sterling, 5 Star, Tier One in that category.

This is a CASE HIT of a superstar that just landed a $60,000,000 year x4 contract with the biggest team in baseball There are 15 cards in this case which sells for $4799. Works out to $319 per card.. The case hit sold tonight for $80... Are “we” broken? 😞

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 The guy who developed WAR thinks Mattingly should be in the Hall for same reason I do. His peak was good enough.

@DiscerningCards @ProGenitor09 That doesn’t answer my question

Someone will show up in my comments and tell me at once that the Hall is too big and that Mattingly belongs in it

@CC_SportsCards @kuligod1616 I have some Tyson if interested.

If you had one prospect you could buy now no matter the cost that isn’t Konnor Griffin but you think blows up, who you buying?

@SquawkCNBC @SenTedCruz I think real journalism is dead.

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 On Mattingly specifically we know that pre-Statcast defensive data was highly prone to wide error margins. The data doesn’t pass the eye test.

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 War is missing that first base defense matters. It dings all 1B way too much. No reason someone with that many gold gloves widely considered by those who actually watched the sport in that era to be exceptional should have a negative defensive WAR.

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 If I remember correctly his dWar is -6.2. No one who watched baseball in the 1980s and 1990s would agree with that. War acts as though 1st base defense is an just an afterthought.

@DiscerningCards @ProGenitor09 What is WAR missing for him that it’s not missing equally for everyone else?

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 When in baseball from 1970 to 2000 did you have someone hitting at that HR/AB clip and striking out as little (K/AB) as he did during any five year stretch. The list is 3 players. That’s dominant. But he was also 2nd in total bases for a TEN year period too.

@DiscerningCards @ProGenitor09 Don Mattingly had three seasons with more than 25 home runs. Where are you getting the idea that he was some crazy power hitter? He was a terrific player from 84-89 but did very little outside of that, and those peak years are not even themselves excellent for a HOFer.

@YankeesFiles @ProGenitor09 That WAR fails to capture his defensive dominance is a pretty widely held position even among those who do not think he belongs.

@DiscerningCards @ProGenitor09 Also, mattingly wasn't actually 3rd in that span. He was 3rd among players with at least 100 HR. If you go down to 50, Boggs, Raines, and Trammell all pass him.

@ProGenitor09 @YankeesFiles My point was that being second in total bases with 6 gold gloves over ten years defines his peak as ten years but the five year span in which he had the fewest strikeouts for a power hitter is so uniquely dominant that only two other players from 1970-2000 matched it.

@DiscerningCards @YankeesFiles Dude I have no idea what you're talking about. My opinion is a player needs a minimum ten year peak. Longevity is part of what makes someone super elite. The Hall of Fame voters have made it clear that they don't want to restrict it to super elite so it's a moot point.

@ProGenitor09 @YankeesFiles If he was best for just five years and it was not uniquely good five year stretch I’d get the argument. But it WAS uniquely good.

@DiscerningCards @YankeesFiles I know what argument you're making. I don't agree with it. But clearly the voters agree more with you than they do me.

@ProGenitor09 @YankeesFiles What he did those five years was exceptional for ANY five year span in that era.

@ProGenitor09 @YankeesFiles I’d make the opposite argument. Being the best in the sport for more than a moment matters more than counting stats accumulated just cause a player played longer. For 5-6 years Mattingly was the most complete player in baseball. That dominance is what the Hall is all about.
