Here we go again...

I had something there:

Bastards

Soooo this is the weekend box? 

mwilson829

Not sure if this is supposed to be a preview of the weekend box, but if it is, then they picked a good weekend to institute the cool down timer because I couldn’t care less about anyone in that box. 

mythicaldragon

Same.... very disappointing box. If lead off batter skill were active in woh I may consider but not a huge fan of RISP either. Meh 

bigvivec

Damon looks good.....

The gift disappeared lol. Quality Control must’ve started their long weekend off.

Mattattack

I got to open mine.   Got 300 Lxp 

mwilson829

I hate RISP personally, and given @DFBB’s thoughts on leadoff, Damon will be worthless for any late WOH rounds. Hard pass.

Do it spend it all in one place. 

mwilson829

They’ve updated the pics for the non-legends now. Also, the pity timer only guarantees a “player” after 15 boxes, and any player resets it.

Waveburner

Probably the 250 gold weekend box then

benny100

Must be the cheaper of the weekend boxes

Wait, why would leadoff not work in WOH? I thought it was active so long as the player was in your lineup as a leadoff hitter. 

If that’s not true, then yeah, Damon is useless. 

mwilson829

My understanding is that while leadoff shows as being active, @DFBB switched his custom legend from double late to double leadoff, and promptly experienced a significant regression in performance. This led him to believe that leadoff is not actually active in WOH.

I had a rather rough experience with leadoff. It will display it as active, but personally, I have zero faith in it. However, it appears to work as intended in all other modes. If damon was vs rhp/leadoff, I'd be all over him(i love cvc). As is, I'll save my lxp even if he comes my way.

I hadn’t seen that from Alex......that would change my opinion.  

mwilson829

Now if they’ll just accidentally gift us the other weekend box so we could get a sneak peak at that too, that wouldn’t be great. 

eman0023

Speculation:  500 gold box Silver Sluggers?  Or do they stretch it out across a week?

mwilson829

I don’t care what the box theme is. I just want it to have a max 520 lefty (or switch hitter) with 2 skills from the following list: vs. RHP, Late, WOH. Is that honestly too much to ask?

mwilson829

Finally decided to break down and open the Curveball box:

But he looks so good on my inactive roster next my other Blyleven, Nolan Ryan, Hershiser, Reuss, etc.

Well......for my money Damon is awesome.  Not ideal WOH skills but can definitely play a part.  All other modes he’s lit.  Not sure why DFBB doesn’t like him in WOH.....he was lit every at bat with the leadoff skill.

bigvivec

What a surprise.......a disagree.   C’mon......what exactly is the objection?  If it’s me I’m ok with that but trying to have a serious discussion here about the merits of leadoff skill ......annoying when the kids are running around with disagrees distracting from grown ups talking.
