MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

[countryboy]

SON OF A BISCUIT!!!! I was excited because Carpenter was coming back from the DL and I was finally going to be able to have my pitching staff back at full strength.

Well....on the day before Carp becomes available, Wainwright breaks his hand! .....and is out for 2-3 months, meaning he won't be back until late August at the earliest and more than likely not until September.

GRRRRRRRR!!!!!


I love this game

If any of you read into my Rockies Franchise earlier, that was stopped. My friend had a problem with his saved data so we both decided to start over, both playing as the pirates. We are still doing the quest to 162. My brother also joined in... So far he is 9-9, I am 10-7, and my brother is 2-10( he needs improvement haha). So far its pretty fun at first I was having a hard time hitting with a team average around .225, in the past few games i have brought that up to about .265. My main offensive contributers are Neil Walker, Garret Jones, and Pedro Alvarez. They all have averages above .300 but I dont have the exact number at this time. Andrew McCutchen has been SUCH a disappointment, hes batting .140, he cant turn it around. He is like 9/59 this year, its such a disappointment. He has killed so many rallies it's unreal. Hopefully he turns it around.

Just finished up May. Had a great month going 20-10 and over took Seattle for the lead in the AL West. Brett Anderson has been the workhorse of the staff and has earned our Player of the Month Award.

23-20. Jim Johnson has been sent to AAA. My bullpen is terrible right now. Mike Gonzalez is the only guy doing his job. Lefties are hitting .095 against him righties .155.

Outside of him everyone has an ERA over 5. Now my lineup is starting to slump. So May has been an up and down month. Yanks and Nationals are my next 5 games.

6 games back in the AL East sitting 3rd.

Im about to be in September with my Cubbies. Im 6 games up on the second place Cardinals. At the deadline I traded B potential prospect and Angel Guzman to the Rangers for Arthur Rhodes to bolster the bullpen. And i was also offered a trade from the Orioles they offered me Jim Johnson and Jake Arrieta for My top C prospect and a A Closer. I accpeted and Arrieta is in the rotation while I sent Johnson to AAA.

Did you mean that in terms of who you got or just in the way it is structured in the game?
