Topps BUNT

MLB BUNT

This is a great game! It’s super fun and interactive. Great for anyone who loves baseball and trading cards. Opening packs of cards through the game is just as exciting as opening a pack in real life. Wondering who will be inside, hoping it’s someone you want! If it ends up being someone you don’t want or a duplicate there is a great trading network with other members of the game.

The moderators and other players are extremely helpful when you’re just starting out giving tips and tricks to make the game more fun and to get more cards.

If you wanted to you could buy a bunch of coins with real money and get a bunch of packs, but if you’re like me and don’t want to spend real money you can participate in trivia, games, and more to earn coins ( in addition to the free ones you get daily).

If you ever run into problems, the moderators are available via twitter and email and respond almost instantly.

This is a great game for baseball and trading card lovers. Be sure to join and participate and you’ll have a great time!

If you need any help within the game hit me up as SFLANI !!

Have fun! -SFLANI

Plays holding fast at 3

Hey BUNT Nation!  The number of plays is subject to change on a daily (sometimes hourly!) basis this year, so be sure to make sure you're making the most of every lineup change you make, just like a real MLB manager!  Today's PLAYS maximum is set at three...for now. Each time you use one, it will reload after 30 seconds. You're going to really have to make them count!

TOPPS BUNTY's: Ryan Braun is Player of the Year

As we mentioned earlier in the baseball season, we have our own spin on the MLB post-season awards. We call them the BUNTY's.

Ryan Braun is your 2012 Topps BUNT Player of the Year.

The Brewers didn't make the playoffs and Braun didn't lead his team to glory, but he did lead your Topps BUNT squads to the promise land if you had him for most of the 2012 season.

He finished with a season-high 2,748 PTS, the most by any player in the app. Braun also averaged 17 PTS per game and had a trade value of 126.

On the diamond, he hit 41 homers and had a .319 average. Even without playing in October, he held onto the PTS lead and never let up.

Oh, and if you're wondering why we're still giving out baseball awards, it's because we want to keep BUNT and baseball relevant and in your head as much as possible in the off-season. The more baseball, the merrier. It will be spring 2013 before we know it.

Topps BUNTYs: Verlander wins AL Old Hoss Radbourn Award

As we mentioned earlier in the baseball season, we have our own spin on the MLB post-season awards. We call them the BUNTYs and we don’t give them traditional names.

We love Cy Young. I mean who doesn’t? But our top pitchers win the Old Hoss Radbourn Award. Charles was fierce and so is our 2012 AL winner … Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers.

Mr. Verlander finished with 2,539 PTS in BUNT, along with an 18-9 record and 2.70 ERA. His 251 strikeouts weren't bad either. Verlander also added a season-high 153 PTS in an ALCS win over Oakland.

San Fran's top BUNT performers

In taking a look at your World Champion San Francisco Giants, there are some obvious trends and a few BUNT tidbits you may not have been privy too until now.

This is the Topps BUNT spin on things.

San Francisco's pitching anchored the team this year as evident by their fearless leader Matt Cain, who had a team-high 2,189 PTS in 2012. Ryan Vogelsong (1,660) and Madison Baumgarner (1,525) weren't too shabby either.

Buster Posey, this year's NL Batting Champion, was the highest offensive PTS producing player on the Giants with 2,142.

Pablo Sandoval, who put up 117 PTS in Game 1 of the World Series thanks to three home runs and a single, finished with 1,347 PTS this year and a World Series MVP for his Panda trophy case.

If you had any of those players your BUNT roster would have been decent, especially during the playoff crunch.

Panda puts up 117 PTS in Game 1

If you own Pablo Sandoval in Topps BUNT, chances are you were gushing last night when you opened the app. Mr. Panda himself issued 117 PTS and catapulted the Giants to an 8-3 victory over Detroit in Game 1 of the World Series.

Sandoval's night was historic for a number of reasons, but in the BUNT world he had a career-high evening, topping his previous high in PTS (66 in Sept.) and making his season average (7.5 PTS per game) look like a joke.

With three home runs, including two off Justin Verlander, and a single, Sandoval was 4-for-4.

BUNT Stats

Season total: 1,323

PTS trade value: 297

Ave PTS per game: 7.5
