Woh for 1-7-19: holy crappers!!!

DFBB

@Bigpredfan I've just seen that 5.10 is level 5 for diamond whereas, he's level 6 for everyone else!

I noticed he was level 5, but last Wednesday was level 5 as well and I couldn’t get it done there. I do love a small advantage in diamond. 

I believe the difference, for me at least, were the skills. I don’t have a legitimate right hand option for righties. The double 2-out skill allowed me to have a much better chance with Harper 

I got Bryant who will most likely stay bronze 1. I have a 445- blue Xp 3B at diamond 5 and am working on the Baez I posted earlier to be my left pitch killer

You won't find a much bigger advocate of bonus skills than me. One of my club guys just went diamond and beat it twice with holiday Ted(d8, capped skills). I really believe it makes a huge difference.

edit: he just beat it a 3rd time.

Anyone have Bryant maxed in gold? I need to see if it's worth the EVO replacing 480 Arenado.

Twice myself as well using Holiday Ted with both skills at 11%.

@DFBB thanks buddy. Seems like he's the only one I am meant to get today. 3/3. Seeing that Nolan is 300/305/163 I may save the EVO on this one.

I have 1 cycle in and got Votto that I already had... so working on cycle #2

Cycled twice both molina but yay got betts

0 for 4 with the 80 boost today, 0 for 2 with Mantle and 0 for 2 with EE.  Already thinking of punting on today as the box is really unexciting to me as there is not a single player who could be double boosted against a RHP in WOH which is my greatest need, other than Votto who I already have.

They continue to hand out lefty mashers like candy while making lefty pitchers in WOH rarer and rarer.

I will probably try twice with LL Votto and then throw in the towel if I don't get it as this box is not worth it to me.

So I'm not sure how this works, but I see some guys whine about who they get then their luck turns.  So I got Betts (already have), Votto (already have), and Molina.  Hoping for anyone else.  For those of you who got Betts he has been a lefty killer for me with a slash line of 
gp-924  avg .496 slg 1.039 ab/hr 8.9

I'm sure Bryant is the same way and it's kind of on ongoing problem for me.  I have 3 lefty murderers (Mantle, LL Altuve, LL Lindor).  All 495 max or above with double skills vs. LHP.  I have Galvis, a step down but still a 470 max with double skills in WOH vs. LHP.  

I have no great options against RHP.  LL Votto is the closest, he at least is RHP boosted but his RISP boost doesn't work for 5-10.  I have been using 490 max Edwin E with a double late innings boost.  I just don't have ideal options and they continue to orient WOH in favor of righty killers.

Got through a third time, pulled Bryant! Feeling like both Buehler and Oswalt are progressively becoming a lot more bitchy though.

Wicked0Wildcats

2nd useless version of a 445 max Molina that I've pulled from WOH in the last month.  

Mookie is nice, but I can't justify leveling him up when I don't even have LL Ichiro active.

Sandpipers

Had had a terrible time with Sabathia plus of course several app crashes to force level restarts but finally got to Oswalt and got Correa....better than I usually get so am ok. Nola would be nice to get...

WOH is bullshit today. Why can’t we charge the mound after about 12 straight balls called strikes?

redlegs2018u

I’m doing better than I did Wednesday, 3 for 9 so far and have pulled Bryant, Molina, and Votto 1 time each.  5.10 with a guy with no boost against a side of the plate is different given what we’ve faced lately.  I’ll likely slowly level up Bryant so I have a second real lefty killer that would have both skills active at the end.

effschmoo2

Only guy I’ve needed to use restarts on is CC. Using ATG Mays and swinging a wiffle ball bat half the time. Keep pulling guys I already have from the boxes but I can’t be mad watching that lxp stack up. Loving that double 2 out skill on 5-10. I think glu is trying to make nice so people come back in 19.

Holiday boggs has been great for me today on 5.10

Can you show me the holiday Boggs?  I have a club mate struggling to cycle. Has him at gold 10, but doesn’t have his skills leveled up much yet. I’d appreciate showing him what yours looks like so he can see what he is lacking 

BobbyFlay

I actually reached on an error on a strike that wasn't down the middle on 5.10. That's the first time I've ever seen that.

tocopan18

Cycled and got Bryant.
Cycled a second time, no restarts, and got ozzie. 
Pretty lucky so far

tocopan18

do you guys think it is worth it to level up ozzie to silver 10 when I already have LL lindor at silver 10?
LL Lindor is 495, switch hitter, skills are vsLefties and RISP
Ozzie is 505, switch hitter, skills are vsLefties and vsRighties

do it for the bonus points!

It sure does!  Appreciate it

I’m 2 for 3 today on 5-10 with BF Harper. Second cycle had 0 video or gold restarts.
