Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

We took 2 out of 3 in Cincinnati and still lead the division by 4 games over the Pirates and 9 1/2 over the Cubs. Neither of them can put together a winning streak. We have Sierra and Brett Anderson back so we are almost completely healthy. Still 10 days away from getting Carpenter back which will be a huge lift to our offense, as the number 3 hole is stagnant offensively.

Still waiting on Memphis to complete their postseason run so that we can get a full 40 man roster for the final 3 weeks of the season.

Next up is 3 in Texas before we go home for the final homestand of the season which is 10 games.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

We avoided the sweep as we took game 3 of the series against the Rangers in Texas. Michael Wacha picked up his 18th win on the year as he continues his quest for the NL Cy Young award.

Next up is 3 against the Pirates at PNC Park as we battle for the NL Central crown. The Pirates are just 3 games back as we play 3. We also play 3 more against the Pirates in about 10 days in St.Louis.

Our remaining schedule:

3 @ Pirates
4 vs Reds
3 vs Cubs
3 vs Pirates
4 @ Brewers
3 @ Cubs

That's 12 games against the Cubs and Pirates who both still have a shot at winning the division, although the Cubs have recently faded as they sit 8 1/2 games back. A sweep of the Buccos in Pittsburgh would be monumental in us securing the NL Central crown.

We should have Matt Carpenter back for the series against the Cubs.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Lost 2 out of 3 to the Pirates in Pittsburgh which means our lead is down to 2 games. Our bats have gone cold and our pitching is really letting us down. Mike Leake in his last 2 starts has pitched a total of 5 2/3 innings, allowed 15 runs, 3 strikeouts, 6 walks, and 5 homeruns. Not typical of how he's been all year.

We are now going home for our final homestand of the year which is 10 games. We begin with 4 against the Reds and hope that we can bounce back to mid-season form and push this lead back out to 5 games or so. We'll play 3 against the Cubs and finish up with 3 games against the Pirates.We will then play 4 in Milwaukee and 3 in Chicago to conclude the regular season.

Matt Carpenter is back in 5 days. Can't get here soon enough.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

We split a 4 game series with the Reds and our lead in the division over the Pirates is now a single game. Next up is 3 at home against the Cubs. Matt Carpenter will be back for this series and Memphis has ended its playoff run, so we will have a full 40 man roster for the last two weeks of the season.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

We managed to win game 3 of the series against the Cubs to avoid the sweep. Luckily, the Pirates lost 2 of their 3 games with the Diamondbacks and our division lead still stands at 1 game over the Pirates. Our lead over the Cubs is 6 games.

We have 10 games left on the season. Next up is a critical 3 games series against the Pirates as we close out the regular season in Busch stadium. Hopefully we can get back into mid-season form as right now we are just a very undisciplined ball club. Hitting poorly, pitching letting us down, and we are committing errors and base running blunders that Little Leaguers don't make.

10 games. Let's do this!

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Welcome back Matt Carpenter!!!

Game 1 of a pivotal 3 game series with the Pirates and Matt Carpenter hits a walkoff 2 run bomb in the bottom of the 9th to give us the win 3-1!!!

Our lead is now 2 games in the Central division.

2 games left with the Buccos and 2 left at Busch for the regular season. Let's see what heroics we have in store for game 2.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Lead back down to 1 game as we lost game 2 of the series 6-3. Got down early 3-0 but tied it in the 6th. Then Danny Farqhuar gave up a 2 run blast to Starling Marte that turned out to be the game winner. The 4th game he's lost in his short stint with our club. Regretting this trade.

Next up is game 3 where we will either be up by 2 games or tied with the Pirates with 7 games to go. Mike Leake, who has absolutely struggled, against Gerrit Cole.

The AL playoffs are pretty much set:

AL East: Rays (6 1/2 up with 7/8 to play - clinched playoff spot)
AL Central: Indians (Clinched)
AL West: Astros (Clinched)
W/C 1: Mariners
W/C 2: Blue Jays

White Sox are 5 out with 7 games left.


The NL teams are set but divisional races tighter:

NL East: Mets ( 1 game lead on Nats. Have 4 games left with Nats on season)
NL Central: Cardinals ( 1 game lead on Pirates. One game left vs Pirates. 6 game lead on Cubs)
NL West: Dodgers (Clinched)
W/C 1: Pirates
W/C 2: Nationals

Cubs are 3 games out with 8 left to play.

Every game is like playoff baseball.
