Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Finished April with the Braves at 11-13, fourth place, four games behind the division-leading Nats.

Michael Bourn, my eighth-place hitter, leads the team with 12 RBIs despite hitting .233. Adonis Garcia is second with 11 RBIs despite a .147 average.

I faced him in my Royals Franchise yesterday too. Throws so many low changeups he is tough to hit. I scratched out 2 runs against him through 7, then they pulled him and I ended up winning 5-3 on a Cain 2 run HR in the 8th and a Perez HR in the 9th.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Me too! I just paid him for a 4-year extension, as a bench player, that's how valuable I thought he was to our playoff contention. He could play literally any position on the field but pitcher, catcher, or 1B and offer better than average defense and a better than average bat. Last year he even managed to hit 14 HR while not being a full-time starter!

He's actually my favorite player on the roster...I hope his career isn't over because of this!

Do you know whether manually going in and removing the injury just before the season ends would remove any chance of retiring due to injury? I'm looking at doing this in my franchise if it works because honestly I don't like the career enders...it happens a little more than I like in the game.

IDK. I wasn't even aware that you could remove an injury.

Personally, I'm just going to roll with it. If this ends his career, so be it. If he's never the same after it, I'll just say that I learned a lesson about extending renewable and arbitration eligible guys long-term.

So far, 2 of my 3 long-term re-signings have gone down with significant injuries.

If you're using 30 team control, you can just change the injury option to manual to remove and then change injury back to on. 2 out of 3? That's rough!

It does. I do this at the end of every season. Rarely does a player retire IRL from a season ending injury, especially everyday players unless they are old, so I try to keep it that way in my franchise.

You can do that even without 30-team control, thankfully.

I might start doing that and randomly roll to see if/how much ratings are lowered to represent rehab and having to get his timing/groove/skills back..and maybe he won't...would depend on player development.

Yeah. I like that. Thanks for bringing that idea up.

Marlins Sweep Past NLCS
O's to Represent AL in World Series

The Marlins are playing like it's their year and they won't be denied. So far, they haven't lost a game in the postseason, lead largely by their pitching, as is usual for this squad.

Damian Boeve in particular has been on complete fire. His first game was a 1-0 pitching duel victory in the NLDS. This time, his team scored him a few more...not that he needed more than one again as he throws another shutout. He had 14 K's in the first one, and picked up 15 in his latest effort.

Tillman, Huff, and Heredia are all doing their parts as well. Tillman won the clinching game 4-2 while Huff will get his next start to begin the World Series. Only Bartlett has struggled, perhaps rusty as he didn't get to pitch in the NLDS, but he gave up 4 runs in 6 innings, but the offense rallied late.

"This team is completely nasty when things are rolling the way they want like they are now. Someone is going to have to knock them out of rhythm, whether it's the offense or someone takes command on the mound, the O's will need some players to give a spark and maybe push the Marlins down a bit, " one analyst spoke.

"On the Marlins side, they just need to keep doing what they are doing. The pitching has be solid. The bullpen coming through when needed. Everyone in the lineup has made the most of their opportunities with timely hitting, and I swear everyone on this team can drive one 400-feet. They just need to keep the more streaky players hot. If they go cold, the Taylor's and Campos', and Cruz's on the team, then the Marlins become vulnerable. You probably won't stop Harper, Davis, Winter...so you need to get the rest...and that's doable, we've seen that happen for stretches in the regular season, " he continued.


Top Marlins Performers heading into the World Series:

Home runs:
Davis, 5
Brito, 4
Winter, Harper 2

Batting Average (minimum 10 ABs):
Campos, .368

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

The Royals are on a recent hot streak going 8-2 in their last 10 moving to 42-20 and up 5.5 games up in the AL Central. A very balanced offensive attack and a fairly steady rotation, except Ian Kennedy has help the Royals to build a decent cushion in the Central. Wade Davis has struggled and been removed as the closer and been moved into the middle relief role to try to get his form back.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

Phils Get Back on Track With Series Win Over Braves

"Baseball is a game of failures." Those are the words of the coaching great Augie Garrido. "This game will screw you in every aspect."

The Phillies lived those quotes in the Marlins series. Just when it looked like they had turned a corner, the game knocked them back down. In the rubber match, Aaron Nola couldn't hit the strike zone, and the Phillies couldn't buy a hit.

After falling short of winning 4 series in a row, the Philies found a way to start a new streak with their series against the Braves, winning two out of three. In this rubber match, the bats came alive. David Lough hit a 2 run HR, and Ryan Howard hit a Grand Slam.

So what's the difference? In short terms... Getting on base. In their last 6 games, the Phillies are 3-3. In their three wins, the Phils average over 6 walks to go with their 9+ hits. In their losses, they averaged 2 walks and 5 hits.

Augie has also said that "baseball is a game of runs, not hits." But you can't score runs if you don't get on base. That will be the name of the game the rest of the season for these Phillies.

I love your stats presentation. Did you create the template and enter the data manually? Thanks for sharing your franchise and love for this game!

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

KB, how do you remove an injury in a non-30 team control setting?

I had a crazy rash of long-term injuries and I realized that it's because I set my injury slider to 7 after not seeing many injuries during year one with the slider on 5.

I'm thinking 6 might be the best middle ground, but I just lost 2 MIF for 3 months and 6+ months in the same sim game, to go with the already large number of serious injuries I've had this season.

Re: MLB 16 Franchise Progress Thread

I have officially played all 162 games for the third consecutive year. What a grind. We ended up finishing 98-64, good for 1st in the AL East. The Blue Jays will be taking on the Boston Red Sox in the first round and that should be very interesting for sure. Texas will play Cleveland in the other AL matchup. In the NL, the Mets will play the Dodgers and the Cubs will play the Cardinals. The Tigers and Pirates were the two wild card losers. Here is a look at the award:

MVP: AL - Miguel Cabrera, NL - Kris Bryant
Cy Young: AL - Marcus Stroman, NL - Jacob deGrom
Batting Title: AL - Miguel Cabrera, NL - Matt Carpenter
Reliever of the Year - AL - Drew Storen, NL - Mark Melancon
Rookie of the Year - AL - Byung-Ho Park, NL - Kris Bryant
Hank Aaron Award - AL - Miguel Cabrera, NL - Bryce Harper
Blue Jay's Gold Gloves: None
Blue Jay's Silver Sluggers: Josh Donaldson

Here are the end of the year MLB stats for anyone who has been up with the big club (aka user played). I will post the rest of the roster's stats for AAA and AA as well after the playoffs are over.
