End of April - 2014

My spoiler is broken so i cant hide this pic

April went much better than i thought it would. Started off 3-3 vs the Tigers and White Sox. Then we went on a 9 game win streak. We struggled a little bit at the end of the month losing 3 of our last 4 games. We lead the division by 4.5.

Nori Aoki is the only full time starter hitting over .300 (.349). He is 39 of 109 with 17 runs, 10 doubles, 3 triples, 3 home runs (i think he is on steroids) 16 RBI and a .419 OBP.

Lorenzo Cain had the worst month by far. He hitting .203 and has 3 RBI.

Starting pitching has been very bipolar. James Shields and Yordona Ventura both 3-1 and have ERA's under 2.50. But Danny Duffy, Jason Vargas and Jeremy Guthrie are all over 4.50. Duffy is 4-1 but his ERA is 5.97.

Bullpen has been the same. Wade Davis. Kelvin Herrera and Greg Holland have pitched 25.2 innings combined and havent given up and single run. Aaron Crow and Louis Coleman have pitched 28.1 innings and given up 7. Tim Collins and Bruce Chen have pitched 13 innings and given up 7 runs.

Overall team is great sitting in 1st. Players are hit and miss all over. Only 6 division games next month. And only 3 teams we play have a winning record.

Somehow a game wasn't counted in this we are 19-8



League Leaders AL on top, NL on bottom

Minor League teams have been pretty good as well. Both AAA and AA lead their divisons.

In AAA Brian Fletcher is hitting .344, Jared Schlehuber is hitting .341 with 2 HR and 15 RBI,and Jimmy Paredes is hitting .330.

Justin Marks is 3-0 with a 1.38 in 5 starts, Aaron Brooks is 3-1 with a 1.88 in 6 starts and John Lamb is 4-0 with a 2.29 in 5 starts.

In AA Jorge Bonifacio is hitting .323, Bubba Starling is hitting .302 with 3 HR and Hunter Dozier is hitting .299 with 3 HR and 17 RBI

Zimmer is struggling after not giving up an earned run in his first two starts. He is 2-2 with a 4.23 ERA.

You can use the rosters SCEA puts out but you cant start with one roster then change to a more up to date one. You are stuck using the roster you start with.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Team: Orioles

I was swept by the Red Sox to start the season. I then went to Detroit and dropped the first game of the series so I'm sitting at 0-4 to start.

I'm hitting a shade over .200
I'm walking tons of batters and getting railed
Striking out way too much

Man it's ugly early

I do need to lower the CPU hitting. They are killing me on HOF. I might put all their hitting stuff down to 3.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Hello, I'm sorry but I have a little problem. When I create a new franchise on MLB 14 the show (PS4) the big talents don't show up on my roster and it looks like it keeps generating random players in my minor league. I always play the Cubs and really need the big prospects like Baez to build a future. Can someone help me?

Vidal Nuno has been good for me so far in my Yankees franchise. Right now he's a bullpen arm, but if one my starters go down it looks like he will replace them.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

I've decided to rebuild the Marlins this year.
I have been playing 1 game then simulating 5 just so I can get through the season and start building the team up.
I'm already in June and my record is 32-34 (not as bad as I thought it would be)

I've already pulled of some pretty awesome trades..
Got Eric Hosmer for Garrett Jones and a pair of B potential pitching prospects.
Also got Gio Gonzalez for three B pitching prospects.

End of May - 2014

The surprising season continues in KC. After April it seemd like But we stayed right on pace. We went 21-8 in May putting our record at a league leading 40-16. We started the month 9-6 but we put together another 9 game win streak to get us going. Im not exactly sure how we are winning all these games. I though Aoki was on steroids but now i think everyone is.

Hitters are doing better than they did in April. Aoki is still the only everyday starter hitting over.300 (.329). But Moose, Perez and Gordon are all over .285 and Danny Valencia is hitting .350 in 80 at bats as the starter at 3rd vs LHP. Lorenzo Cain continues to struggle. Only hitting .200 with 12 RBI. He will probably start splitting time with Dyson in CF or Jimmy Paredes may be called up (more on him below).

Pitching did regress a little. Ventura is now the only starter with an ERA under 3.00 (2.50). Vargas and Duffy are tied for most wins with 7. And Holland leads the AL with 21 saves.

AL on top NL on bottom

AAA and AA still lead their divisions as well. But neither team did as well as they did in April.

In AA, Kyle Zimmer is 5-4 with a 4.01 ERA. Im going to leave him down in AA for his next 2 starts. If he does well he will be brought up to AAA if not then he will stay down until he shows improvement.

Jorge Bonifacio is hitting .311, Bubba Starling is hitting .299 with 6 HR and is playing very well in the outfield with 8 assists. hunter Dozier is hitting .291 with 9 HR and 32 RBI. Raul Mondesi is only hitting .254 but at 18 years old and possibly the best prospect we have theres no concern there.

In AAA, Christian Binford was called up after going 7-1 with a 2.74 ERA in 10 games. John Lamb is 7-0 with a 2.92 ERA through 11 starts. If anyone get hurt in the majors he will be the replacement.

Jimmy Paredes is making a case to take time away from Cain. Through 53 games he is hitting .344 with 32 RBI. And Brian Fletcher is doing just as well almost with a .327 AVG in 50 games. His defense is where it needs to be yet though so he will most likely be a September call up barring injuries .

I forgot to scout until the last week of the month so the draft should go very well

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

I just beat the Cards 2 out of 3. Lyons had a spot start for st Louis due to wacha being tired from yesterdays game when he pitched 7.1 out of the bullpen in an 18 inning game for the win. I walked 9 with Edwin Jackson including 4 in a row in the 6th to bring it to 4-3 bases loaded no body out, I sub in Hector Rondon he strikes out Molina and gets Perralta to hit into the 6-4-3 double play to end the inning not to exciting of a game but it was fun Veras was FINALLY able to go 1-2-3 in the 9th. Onto Yankee Stadium with a tired bullpen I do have a day off before the Yankees game though so that will help.
