End of May - 2014

Spoiler

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

nice work keep it up. if its not a problem would share some of the cubs stats id just like to see what they're doing even though they are 13-41(lol that's not a shock) but guys like Rizzo, castro, Lake, Wood, Rondon. pretty much their young guys and baez and Bryant.

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.

Hah, smart idea moving our plethora of pitching prospects and flipping them for win now guys. Curious though any ideas for options at 3B? Currently running between a mix of Dietrich and Solano.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Well after much thinking, I decided to start a franchise with my Astros. I kept going back and forth between them and Kansas City, but I decided the Astros would be more fun for me since they are my favorite team.

My 40-Man Roster is identical to the actual Astros, and I decided to make my lineup exactly like theirs as well.

I simulated to tomorrow's date (May 9) and decided to start from there. We went up against the Orioles (my first real game on here). Feldman pitched a very solid game, but we couldn't get our bats going, losing 3-0.

We're 15-21, tied for worst in the AL West (Rangers are also 15-21). Athletics lead the division at 21-15.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Swept the reds then lost to the dbacks 8-5. Hammel gave up 7 runs in 4.1. Rizzo coming off a 4-4 game went 2-4 with a homer and double 2 RBI, Castro chipped in a solo home run as well. I am 8-10 in 4th place in tr NL central brewers are 14-6 tied with boston for best record. I'm only hitting like .103 with mike olt but have 8 RBI second most on my team (rizzo first with 15) so it's kinda hard to take him out, he's also hitting like .429 with RISP.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Played my second game against Baltimore. Decided to rest quite a few guys that were exhausted, and the hitting problems I had the previous game completely disappeared.

We kicked the game off with a 4-0 lead after a solo HR by Chris Carter and a 3-run HR by Jesus Guzman.

Cosart pitched a brilliant game until the 6th inning, when my defense fell apart with 3 errors allowing 5 runs.

We stayed down 5-4 until the 9th inning when George Springer hit a game-winning 2-run HR. Chad Qualls finished the game for a save. We won 6-5.

It was a great game to play.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

When you traded in franchise did the players you get back or the ones you traded,did there player models go to a created generic model?or did they stay the same?

Your opener was March 31 so it's not counted in the monthly summary.

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

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Anyone know if Tommy Florival is a free agent and/or on a team in real life? He's an A potential pitching prospect free agent in my franchise and I was thinking of signing him, just want to make sure he isn't already on another team and is an actual player.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Never heard of him.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Just beat the dbacks on a walk off by rizzo. I was down 3-1 in the 8th when bonofacio had. An RBI single to trim it to a run leadthen strop came in and made things interesting setting runners on 2nd and 3rd one out,
I managed to get a pop up then ground out to wiggle my way out. Castro draws a lead off walk allowed by Addison reed then on a 3-1 pitch rizzo knocks out to right for the cubs first walk off of the season and rizzos 5th home run. Cubs now sit at 10-10 and will wrap a 4 game series with samardzja vs arroyo cubs.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Franchise Progress

Defeated Milwaukee 9-2 finally got some offense going, rizzo hit his 6th homer and had 3 RBI, Castro had a couple hits as did lake who had an RBI doule and two steals, Wellington Castillo also had 3 rbi. Edwin Jackson threw a complete game 2 runs 6 hits 8 SO and 3 bb. I Am 11-11 3.5 out of first behind the brewers who have the best offense in the league so that made Jackson's performance even better he's got 4 wins in April
