MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Opening week has been a struggle in the Queen City. The Reds are currently sitting at 2-7. Pitching has been atrocious, offense has been non-existent. Funny enough my only 2 wins came when it was raining. Seems like my offense likes to play in the rain?

Hopefully things turn around soon. I have finally started to hit with Votto. He was 1-14 at one point, but has a couple hits in his last few games, so he's back above .100.

Even though I'm getting smoked... somehow it's still enjoyable. Although these young pitchers are driving me to the brink of drinking away my frustrations...

Aside from the one solo shot given up this game was perfect on a defensive and pitching standpoint. However the offense was atrotious in this game. Only 3 hits the entire game but neither of these are the headline in this one.

PEREZ IS OUT FOR 1-2 MONTHS with a fractured hand suffered from getting hit by a ball sliding into second base after a double. This was a huge blow for the team as Perez in a multiple gold glover and one of our best bats in the lineup as well as one of the best catchers in the majors.

Had to call up Bryan Pena from AAA Omaha and send down outfielder Frank Gore. Starting behind the plate will be Drew Butera. Not nearly the offensive threat that Perez was but not a bad defensive catcher so it could be worse, but definitely not ideal.

First pitch of the game Gordon took deep to right for a home run. Moustakas grounded out and Hosmer took another ball deep to right for the second home run of the first inning. Butera got his first RBI in his first start of the season behind the plate with an RBI single in the second. Herrera gives up one home run to make me sweat a little bit in the ninth inning but shut the next two batters down and we win a close one and our first win at home of the year.

All Star Break - 2017

This long disappointing season just keeps on going. 50-83 heading into September. Very good chance we end up with 100+ losses. The minor league season ends in 4 days. Both of our teams will not be going to the playoffs so we will get plenty of time to get a look at our young guys.

Not a whole lot of drama in the AL playoff race. Red Sox have a 5 game lead over the Jays. Everyone else in the East might as well be out already. Indians lead the Central by 12. And the Angels lead the West by 6. Astros and Angels lead the wild card. Rangers and Tigers are both 6.5 games back.

Over in the NL the Nationals have an 11.5 game lead. The Cubs have a 13.5 game lead. While the Dodgers have a 1.5 game lead over the Giants. Giants and Mets lead the wild card. Pirates are 4 games back with the Braves 4.5 games back.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Been awhile since I checked in. The Cubbies are at 37-23 but struggling at 5-5 in their last 10 games. Actually feels worse than 5-5. Pitching is keeping us in the game but we are struggling to scrape together 5 hit games.

Took a tough lose to Houston in 13 innings last night, but won today 3-2 on a walk off HR by our rule 5 catcher Herb Fuentes. Our strong record is attributed to starting the season on The Show 16. I'm just hoping to tread water on 17 right now.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

I'm now 12 games under .500 in my Marlins in late May. I've put Stanton, Ozuna, and Gordon on the block. I don't want to do a total blowup but I want to unload these guys and build around Yelich and Realmuto.

Dodgers are running away with the West but I'm tied in the wild card spot.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

The Blue Jays had a great series in Tampa winning 3-1 against the Rays. Donaldson beasted in the hot weather with 3 HR and batting .429 in the series.

The starting pitching was didn't miss a beat as Estrada, Liriano, Happ, Sanchez limited the Rays to 5, 8, 2, 4 hits in the 4 games.

The Jays had 2 high scoring games winning 8-2 and 10-0. A loss against Archer 2-0 and a 5-2 win sealed the series.

James Loney has taken over at first against RHP going 2/8 with 2 RBI in 2 games. Carrera is getting most starts against LHP but hasn't played well to this point. Darwin Barney might get some starts in LF against LHP. Steve Pearce now has 9 RBI on the year and leads the team in that stat.

Next up, a 2 game home opener against Milwaukee.

Texas Ranger Update: MOM Play 1 sim 3

Well the rangers finished the spring with a basically healthy roster with the exception of Martin Perez. In his last Spring Training start he hurt his elbow and went on the 60 day DL. We broke camp with this lineup

SP-
1. Darvish
2. Hammels
3. Cashner
4. Ross
5. Gee

1. Elvis SS
2. Gomez CF
3. Adrian 3B
4. Odor- 2B
5. Lucroy- C
6. Napoli - 1B
7. Choo- RF
8 Mazara -LF
9. Chirinos DH

After 16 Games we sit at 8-8. Currently on a 5 game winning streak. Allot of Injuries

Josh Hamiliton 60 day DL
Darvish just went on 10 day DL out 1-2 weeks
Bush out 2 weeks

Conner Sadzeck was called up from AAA. Hopefully he can hold up for the 2 starts Darvish will miss. Adrian is on a tear. 2 2 HR games early in the season.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Nelson Cruz has been an absolute monster for me so far with 14 homers in 18 games.

Going to do Rangers as well. What does your bullpen look like?

I will probably bump Mazara up some. He is better than I feel like the 75 SECA ratings have him.

Might want to bring those power sliders down a few notches...

Hah probably but I don't like touching any sliders. All my other home run totals are pretty realistic and he's only 4 ahead in first place so it's not too bad yet. I figure there will be a patch soon that addresses the home run issue.

I like what I've seen with injuries so far. Two minor injuries in 18 games with Robbie Cano missing 4 games and Edwin Diaz going on the 10 day DL.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

The Blue Jays have swept the Brewers and are now 5-3 on the season. Game 2 ended with a final score of 4-2.

Braun knocked in Perez in the first inning as Milwaukee got off to an early 1-0 lead. Jungman got into a habit of throwing first pitch curve balls and the James Loney drilled a 3 run HR to deep right after one was left up in the zone. 3-1 Toronto.

Later in the 7th, Jeff Bandy hit a solo shot which would knock Estrada out of the game. Travis hit his first homer in the 8th to make it 4-2. Loud, Grili and Osuna shut the door as Osuna recorded his first save after being activated from the DL.

Loney has been a great addition to this ball club as he finished 2-2 with a HR and a double. He is now 4/10 with a homer, double and 5 RBI in three games and will see the majority of the AB's against RHP.

In other news, Toronto shipped Juan Graterol to the Angels for OF Shane Peterson (PTBN). Peterson was signed to a minor league deal and was not on the 40 man. He will provide outfield depth for the farm and shouldn't have an impact on the big club.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Discussion Thread

Any big notable bugs that have occurred so far for you guys playing offline franchise?
I have my 30 team control all set up with proper injuries and accurate OD lineups/rotation, just waiting to see what issues people are encountering?

Or hoping for a big patch.
