Shohei Otani in The Show

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

Except if you do that you are required to put them on the mound. That is what they will have to remedy.

There is a work around for that in place already. As long as you go to the bullpen and hit "schedule to pitch" with another pitcher, then the guy you PH will not be required to go to the mound.

What about when you use a pitcher to pinch run? Same thing work?

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

we can't pinch hit a pitcher for a DH correct? so your saying if we pinch hit for a OF on the Angels in the first innings (its the only way to get a pitcher in the lineup and earliest) that he would have to go to the mound?? I thought the starter would keep pitching anyway. because he hasn't been replaced

You can PH a pitcher for the DH, you just can't start a pitcher at DH. Pinch hitting with a pitcher in the AL would never trigger him having to go to the mound, regardless if it is OF or DH.

So basically then all we do now is soon as the show is up just pinch hit with otani it’s a
Easy work around. Only issue is the stats won’t count it a
A game started

And it burns one of your bench players.

Re: Shohei Otani in The Show

I don’t think that is true. You can pinch hit or pinch run for the DH and that player is allowed to continue being the DH for the rest of the game. Are you saying that if you use a pitcher to do this in The Show, it automatically puts them on the mound?

According to MLB rules there are two ways you can “lose” the DH:

1: if the player who starts the game as the DH moves into the field.

2: is a pinch hitter bats for any player in the lineup and then moves to the mound to pitch.

I always use NL teams so Im not sure how the game handles AL stuff like that.

the Show doesnt track start stats for position players anyway, only pitchers.
for position players it only tracks total games played and amount of innings.

If it was as easy as just making it so it’s a option in the lineup menu, it would have been done last year when we had a 2 player.

Betancourt has only pitched 5 and a third innings in two seasons, there was no need to change the game for that. Ohtani is a completely different scenario and I am sure they have coded it into the game. On the off chance they say they can't/won't then it will be a major fail and inexcusable.

I'd like to know the over/under prediction for:
A) Otani's 2018 PA's
and B) Otani's 2018 IP

If, after the season, Otani winds up with more than 100 PA's AND more than 20 IP
I will consider qualifying the inaction as a fail.
I wont be willing to go so far as to classify it as major and/or inexcusable.
I'll leave that to those far smarter than I.

Unless he has a season ending injury its a 100% certainty he will far surpass both. That is only one month worth of playing.

Barring injury, I think he's a slam dunk for 100 IP but his PA's might be minimized with Pujols at DH. In the OF, Otani's a 5th wheel.
If he were in the NL I'd be more certain of him reaching 100 PA's

EDIT: speaking of injury, it's also interesting to note his elbow and ankle to watch in 2018.

It has already been confirmed that Pujols will be playing more first base in 2018. So if he's healthy he'll get plenty of plate appearances. He will definitely not be playing in the OF at all this year.
