Which game is Ohtani going to come in to close if they get eliminated tonight?

Then what makes you an expert in the Ohtani card market that you feel you need to give advice to everyone here that buys consistently and knows the market better than you?

You couldn't figure out why junk base rookies were down and kept asking the question all season...

You ripped wax with zero cost basis? Did you steal the boxes?

Making commentary is not giving advice.

Yes, I was the one arguing low end RC were missed priced and it didn't make sense that his base cards were selling 50% or more below last years highs when he was performing above expectations and having an MVP year.

No one was able to give a good explanation either other than supply/demand.

It appears demand picked up! I was picking up a bunch of low end RC because I thought they were too low in price. Picked up a ton of low end RC base and inserts for less than $10 a card on average.

Sign. Are we going to argue over what I consider the cost basis to be for leftover cards from dozens of $10 hangers where I flipped PSA 10 US300s and US250s for a stupid amount of money in 2020-2021?

Nope, that answers my question perfectly. Thanks.

Looks like the end of the season is making everyone sad.

LOL.

It is sad. I want to put some stock into their ability to recover. But this is the same story we’ve seen almost every year with Roberts. He must go if they cant pull off a miracle.

Did Roberts coach a bad game? I saw some very bad/questionable defense let an inning get out of had yesterday with mediocre pitching.

The Pads are way up the Dodgers kitchen and making them uncomfortable in many ways.

Buehler (1-6) as the starter for a (near) must-win, says a lot.

Manny is an a$$ most days, but that inside baserunning was brilliant and set up the big inning.

Honestly, making a run with bad pitching was always going to be an up-hill battle.

Would be epic if Ohtani took the mound tonight. Though no chance of that happening, even if the Dodgers are depleted on starters.

Baseball playoff success is so fragile. I almost feel like the DS should be 7 games
