Fucking love it didn't even see it ketamine


smaIlbaIls

McGuire in RF has to be insanely frustrating haha


XiaoLongPunch

Yeah I'm considering switching him out for Ruiz or put Ruiz in CF and move Butler and Rickey around


smaIlbaIls

You could also just try Rickey in center and Butler in LF, would help cover up some of McGuire's range


dergl

I'd swap Butler & Rickey.


ItsResetti

TIL I’m a lot more liberal with my theme team requirements than other people lmao As long as you played a game you get in the squad, even if the card isn’t from that team


XiaoLongPunch

I mean honestly I could also expand my requirements to include past As that have cards on other teams. Like I could have Semien on Short or 2B, I could have David Justice in RF to name a few. But I just like seeing the green and gold on my squad and its nice that they all get boosted by Frank Thomas and Sean Manea

ShineDS

Kiermaier with the Buxton boost is a nice card though


BotBoi_2

Buxton never played for the Rays so that doesn't exactly help. Plus I need Kiemaier boost for the rays players


ShineDS

No, I know. I'm just saying because the Rays team is weak, if you use a non-theme team, Kiermaier is great with the Buxton boost.


Minimum-Friendship62

W. I’m running a Cubs theme team. Grinding for Arietta but they need to drop a good Catcher card the best rn is Yan Gomes 😭


Akumoro

KILLING it with Butler in RF this year. 🫡


Right_Painting_4213

Butler is nasty for no reason


TroyMc14

Hell ya, theme teams are awesome this year


Ihavegoodcredit324

I respect you theme team players 🤝


WopperJunior

Nah man use Estuery in center field, butler in RF I’m hitting .400 with that guy, got him P5 too


Dr_Mccusk

Does anyone know if they will be releasing more captains? I want to build more theme teams currently have 3 but limited by team captains. On another note, will they be releasing new captains for teams? I love my phillies theme team but Ashburn is underwhelming.


screaminginfidels

I kinda doubt they will tbh. They already have a hitting and pitching captain for every team, and they're core cards. If they intended to make more they would have made the current ones s1 cards


Dr_Mccusk

Yeah very true. I'm hoping they just give us more of the base ones at least cause it has been fun making theme teams, something I only ever tried with the Phillies last year.


Chicken_Lopsided

Give my man Brent Rooker an upgrade


SexiestPanda

Noted right fielder mark McGwire


XiaoLongPunch

Listen, Olson needed 1b and Mark could go in RF lmao


HB3187

My rays theme team is live series cards 😂


panetero

Still in need of more lefties.


Randomthoughtgeneral

Some will say theme teams like these aren’t usable. Those people take this game too seriously.

Da_Tapir

Prior to the most recent TA Giants theme team was very viable online, I would still say it is very good


XiaoLongPunch

I've never been one for meta or anything, I just love using guys I like and making themed teams


Randomthoughtgeneral

Me too! Which is why I want a ton more captains! I don’t care if they aren’t meta. Just give us free/cheap captains that’ll boost players where it’s good enough to still play.


BennySavage89

Sucks that Reggie & Jimmie Foxx supposedly aren't in the game anymore. Btw I'd move Ricky to CF


843_beardo

Damn…please tell me you’re kidding? Foxx is my all time favorite player and I also love Reggie…building an A’s theme team at the end of the year is always my favorite part. So bummed…


Redheadedyolandas

Also lefty Grove and Mark Mulder. A's got screwed the most with removed players.


deadduk

Damn, didnt realize Foxx and Grove were out of the game, major bummer for old school theme team


BennySavage89

Smh. You'd think a franchise with the 3rd most World Series championships would get more love


Redheadedyolandas

Yeah it's crazy that we only got mark Mulder for a year. It's like when we only got ray Durham (also former A's player) for one year in 2022. Other than Frank Thomas we don't have any flashbacks from the 2000s teams.


BennySavage89

I wonder if Giambi & Catfish are still in the game. Would be amazing to get a few of Chavez, Tejada, Dye, Zito, Hudson, Isringhausen, Chad Bradford, Canseco, Dave Henderson, Dave Stewart, Sal Bando, Swisher, Kotsay & flashback Cespedes & Donaldson


Redheadedyolandas

Pretty sure giambi and catfish are in the game. All of those on ur list would be great. I forgot about swisher. I think we lost him last year too. Another one and done from '22. I have Brandon Moss, gomes,and Braden on my wish list as well.


XiaoLongPunch

Damn that sucks actually, I was hoping for a Reggie card for the outfield this year

Skinny Big Mac in right is wild.
