Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Great job, and love the beer front and central in your pic...but Kershaw vs Miami barely counts as a Major League no hitter! lol, just kidding.

Man CB it was a stressful last 3 innings. I've been to 5/6 innings deep several times and as soon as the announcers bring it up I would crack but not today.

I'm still on a high!!!! My wife and kids are still laughing at me. What I didn't mention was I made my wife/kids come downstairs and support me the last inning. Hilarious what gaming can do to a grown man.

I can't even being to imagine the stress that you were under. I always find myself trying to be perfect and get the hitter out as quickly as possible and then blowing the no-no.

Love the fact that your wife and kids supported you!

I had the CPU drag bunt with a slower runner and it broke up the no hitter!

I hit the next guy to relieve my frustration.

I'll be starting a new Mariners Franchise when Mizzou's final OSFM roster come out. I'll be posting it on here, but I will post more in-depth updates on my Blog/Dynasty Blog. Either that, or I might make a thread on the Baseball Dynasties page. Hope some of you go check it out

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Started up my original idea of blowing up the Yanks again, hopefully my roommate won't save over this one. I got bored with the other one since I had only played 15 or so of the 90 games. Thus far I've played every game on QC and will continue to do so. Finished up April with a record of 19-8. The games were Tanaka and Lincey start are the 2 I try the most to win since the rest of the rotation is awful. Here are some stats:

Lineup
SS DJ .258 3 HR 14 RBI (Down to a 79 already, sigh)
RF Ichiro .273 1 HR 9 RBI 7 SB (77)
CF Trout .306 2 HR 19 RBI 8 SB
LF Harper .315 4 HR 23 RBI (surprising thus far as I hit .158 in ST with him)
DH A-Rod .250 5 HR 16 RBI (81)
1B Ibañez .389 5 HR 16 RBI (After one month my best hitter by far, was around the .410 for most of the month. Down to a 69)
2B Soriano .226 4 HR 5 RBI (Fun fact: all of his HR's have been solo shots. Also switched him from a RF to 2B started as a 90 down to an 86)
C Cervelli .213 3 HR 7 RBI
3B Nakajima .192 3 HR 5 RBI (easily my worst hitter)

Bench
C Torrealba .148 0 HR 2 RBI
SS Caroll .150 0 HR 0 RBI
1B Kotchman .273 0 HR 1 RBI (started out in AAA. Designated Roberts, he got the call up)
CF Gutierrez .174 0 HR 1 RBI

Bench has been non-existent thus far, Roberts was hitting around the .080 mark. Had to let him go.

Rotation
1.M. Tanaka 4-0 2.40 ERA 41.1 IP 30 K 30 BB 1.50 WHIP
(his control has been dreadful thus far, his starts have been: 9-5 win @ Houston 6 IP 6 H 4 R 4 ER 7 BB 4 K; began the 2nd with a 5-0 lead. 1-0 win @ Toronto 8.1 IP 6 H 0 R 0 ER 6 K 6 BB.; pitched better than Houston still an alarming high BB total. 5-3 ND vs. Boston 6 IP 7 H 3 R 3 ER 4 BB 3 K; was down 3-0 until we tied it up in the 6th. 3-2 ND @ Tampa Bay 6 IP 5 H 2 R 2 ER 4 BB 6 K; left the game losing 2-1. 4-1 win @ Boston 8 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER 5 BB 6 K; one of his better outing still too many walks. 6-2 win vs. Seattle 7 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER 4 BB 5 K; gave up the run on a solo shot to Ackley in the 7th).
2.T. Lincecum 4-0 2.50 ERA 39.2 IP 27 K 19 BB 1.36 WHIP
(traded Severino + Clarkin + all my C specs for him. My best pitcher after one month, only one bad outing)
3.D. Willis 1-2 4.09 ERA 22 IP 11 K 10 BB 1.68 WHIP
(Missed one start with bruised ribs)
4.B. Zito 3-1 3.07 ERA 29.1 IP 15 K 14 BB 1.36 WHIP
(A nice surprise so far, has kept me in every game)
5.C. Richard 1-0 0.00 ERA 6 IP 5 K 5 BB 1.33 WHIP
(Recently called up as Freddy Garcia has lost his rotation spot)

These were Freddy's #'s: 2-3 7.31 ERA 28.1 IP 14 K 10 BB 1.91 WHIP

Bullpen (A mess thus far)
LRP C. Gaudin 1-0 2.57 ERA 7 IP 5 K 5 BB 1.57 WHIP
MRP S. Burnett 1-1 4.35 ERA 10.1 IP 8 K 2 BB 1.06 WHIP
MRP M. Corpas 0-0 3.52 ERA 7.2 IP 3 K 1 BB 1.04 WHIP
MRP J. Rauch 0-0 27 ERA .1 IP 0 K 0 BB 3.00 WHIP
(Recently called up to take K. Fujikawa's spot)
SU A. Bailey 0-0 8.10 ERA 6.2 IP 9 K 7 BB 2.25 WHIP
SU F. Abad 1-1 1.08 ERA 8.1 IP 2 K 2 BB 0.72 WHIP
CL D. Betances 0-0 0.00 ERA 10 SV 11.1 IP 10 K 3 BB 0.79 WHIP
(My best bullpen arm by far, he and Abad have been great)

Here are K. Fujikawa's #'s: 0-0 7.27 ERA 8.2 IP 7 K 2 BB 1.62 WHIP

It has been fun, after a month leading the East by 2.5 games:

1.Yanks 19-8 -
2.Sox 17-11 2.5 GB
3.Rays 15-14 5 GB
4.O's 13-14 6 GB
5.Jays 12-15 7 GB

Best record in baseball
1.Braves 20-7 -
2.Yanks 19-8 1 GB
3.A's 19-10 2 GB
4.Dodgers 18-10 2.5 GB
5.Nats 18-10 2.5 GB

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Bottom of the 6th, no hitter.

My wife can see me smirking and filled with joy.

She walks over and asks me what's up.

Spoiler

Rios hits a HR.

FML.

Contemplating divorce.

I think Flight should consign his out for occasions like this.

If he's knows what's important, the answer should be easy.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Hi all sorry if this is a litle off topic but I am looking for a OSFM v2 30 team franchise set on Opening Day. I would really appreciate if someone could give me one. I would love to play on 30 team control but dont have the time to set up one with all of the injuries, lineups, etc. thank you very much in advance

I realize that you cannot share PS4 files so if someone has it for PS3 that i could download and then transfer over that would be great. Thanks!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

I decided to do a fantasy draft with the Red Sox, and tried to keep things realistic by going after younger, cheaper players, rather than top-loading with older vets. The problem is that my team has great pitching (at least starters), but can't hit a lick.

End of May

Yankees 33-22 --
Orioles 32-23 1 gb
Rays 31-26 3 gb
Red Sox 27-28 6 gb
Blue Jays 25-32 9 gb

3B - Manny Machado (45 games, .259, 4 HR, 13 RBI)
LF - Bryce Harper (47 games, .255, 8 HR, 32 RBI)

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Seems like an overpay for Shields, no? Don't know much about teams/prospects outside of NY and possible targets, but couldn't Baez and Russel alone net you someone better or more in return than Shields?

In real life, they are the 3rd, 5th and 6th best prospects in all of baseball. I wasn't buying for a playoff push either, since I was like 50-75 or something like that. In the OSFM rosters, all 3 players' potential ratings are above 96 and they are all already mid-70s. All of them are expected to make the bigs next year and Bryant (their #1 last year) may actually make it this year with his ridiculous stats(.350 with 31 HRs 81 RBI 77 Runs and a .444 OBP).

Bryant is arguably the best pure hitter and Baez has arguably the most raw power of any prospects in baseball. One scout said Addison Russell's ceiling is "Barry Larkin with power." The real Cubs could trade 3x All-Star Starlin Castro because of the potential of these prospects. The trade was nothing short of an insult.
