This is probably the funniest thing I have read about MLB The Show. Those statistics are great. Now if someone could do this with MadBum that would be great.

Also NSFW for some language at the end of the article.

Hahaha...that's awesome.
.194 BA to win the N.L. batting title!

I guess that puts the whole
"The Show "normalizes" stats regardless of ratings idea to rest!

A guy on the r/baseball subreddit posted about his latest OOTP '17 venture: The San Diego Christian Bethancourt's. He also created the Philadelphia Phil Coke's.

The most startling story line from the 2016 season of the San Diego Christian Bethancourt's? Madison Bumgarner HIT FOR THE CYCLE in a 28-1 beating.

If he's serious about there being one walk in the whole of baseball, then that particular Colon who drew that BB should be Vice President behind the one who hit 6 triples! Haha

Re: Dude sims entire season with every player as Bartolo Colon.

Unfortunately this article proves something about this game that is VERY bad. Look at the standings at the end of the season. Even in a league filled with ALL Bartolo Colon clones, the pennant winners were all realistic. The Pennant winners are the Royals, the Dodgers, the Astros, the Red Sox, the Cardinals and the Marlins, who beat out the Nationals and Mets by one game. Why couldn't the Cincinnati Reds Bartolo's win the pennant? How about the Tampa Bay Ray Colons or the Philadelphia Phillies Bart's? Why do the ACTUAL good teams in the league still manage to win their respective divisions, even though all of them have Bartolo Colon as every single player? All this article proves is that the game is pre-determined so the "good" teams win, regardless of who's on their team.

And the conspiracy theories have started!

Is there any other reason why all of the "actual good teams" would win their respective divisions even when every single player is Bartolo Colon? I suppose it's just one enormous coincidence?

I'm not giving you the satisfaction of disucssing with you. It's pointless.

would try looking at coaches and their respective +/- to player attributes

Also how hard each Colon is regressing. So one may be doing great and not struggling at all. While another is playing horrendously and is down 10+ points to each category.

That sounds painful from a medical standpoint.

Then explain why "realistic" teams don't win in my franchises?

So, what, it only occurs if you have a team of bad players?

I'll bet this is the difference.

I'm also curious if turned off injuries as that could be a factor as well.

Re: Dude sims entire season with every player as Bartolo Colon.

The story was hilarious, random, and awesome

The fact that there are already people claiming this proves that there is something fundamentally wrong with the game could make this thread just as entertaining as the story.
