    Did you edit his speed / pot?
    I edited his spead but I used the OSFM V1.5 so he was at a 90 POT but I put his speed at 83.

    He actually scored 3 times and I forgot to put in he stole 2 bases

      I don't know if this is the proper place to note it, but last night was the first time in about 3 years that I was able to do a full (90 round) draft using 30 team control and not have the game crash before the ending (often, I would skip to the end after round 60, because it wasn't worth risking all my progress).

      I wish there'd be some sort of save function in-draft in case the game crashes, but if the draft itself doesn't crash, there's no issue.

          Mets drop 2 out of 3 to the Nats

          The Mets managed to lose their second series of the young season. The first two games were competitive baseball games throughout, as we lost game one 2-3 and won game two 4-1. Game three was a blowout as Brandon McCarthy gave up 8 runs over 4 innings in what would end up an 8-2 loss.

          Next up

          The Mets (5-4) travel to Miami (5-4) in a tie for first place. This will be a big test for the early season, as the Mets will look to win their first series away from NY. It’s noteable that the Marlins superstar rookie, Shohei Ohtani, will not factor in to the rotation for the marlins during this series.

          Pitching
          Game 1: Zach Godley (1-0 1.69) vs Francisco Liriano (1-0 7.20)
          Game 2: Jon Lester (1-0 1.80) vs Jimmy Nelson (1-1 4.15)
          Game 3: Marcus Stroman (0-2 4.85) vs Mike Minor (1-1 5.25)

          Marlins Lineup
          CF Andrew Toles (L)
          LF David Peralta (L)
          3B Nolan Arenado (R)
          2B Jonathan Schoop (R)
          SS Yangervis Solarte (S)
          RF Wil Myers (R)
          1B Yonder Alonso (L)
          C Robinson Chirinos (R)

          Keys to the series

          The marlins are one of the more complete teams in baseball, and look to be a viable playoff contender if they play to their abilities this season. That being said, here are the three keys to victories:

          1: Keep the ball in the ballpark. The Mets starting pitchers have been outstanding for the most part, but have been prone to the longball. This will be especially important when facing Arenado (.314 4 hr 8 rbi).

          2: Score early. The marlins have a dominate closer in Raisel Iglesias. The Mets will be best served scoring their runs before he enters a game.

          3: Hitting with runners in scoring position. This continues to be an issue as the Mets has 8 hits (the same as the Nats) in the 8-2 loss. When guys get on, we must drive them in.

              It seems as though I have successfully caused everyone to want Scott Kingery on their team. If you guys win a championship - I am taking 5% credit lol

                  But I picked him up in the 10th. I’m sure with the updated potential though he’s gone way sooner than that

                    He was hitting consistently under .230 for me in year two so I traded him for Luis Castillo and Josh Harrison. His high potential worked out for me. Castillo went 19-3 and was third in Cy Young voting

                      Well it’s good to know he’s not that effective if you’re planning on summing at all lol. While playing with him though he’s been a beast. Not only on offense but that by has made some big time plays for me with his range

                        with young high potential guys going early does this creat some weak cpu teams or do they adjust their rosters and send the young low overall guys down to the minor. just trying to prepare for my first draft with the osfm rosters and iv seen people say that guys like vlad guerrero jr are going in like round 3 or 4

                              Mets sweep the Marlins

                              The Mets swept their division rival, and took over sole possession of first place. A 5-2 victory, followed by a 1-0 victory started off the series. In game three, Marcus Stroman gave up a 2 run hr in the first inning. The mets battled back and tied it up. In the 8th inning, with 2 on and two outs, Josh Donaldson pinch hit for Justin Wilson, and hit a single, scoring the go-ahead run. Scott Kingery came up to the plate next, and hit a line drive over the left centerfield wall for a three run shot. Those runs would prove to be of huge importance, as Jim Johnson continued to struggle, and gave up two runs in the 9th before Brad Brach earned his 5th save of the season.

                              Next Up

                              The Mets return home for a 6 game homestand. All in all this will be a 10 game stretch before a day off. The Mets will host the Brewers (6-7) for the weekend. Heres a look at the pitching matchups

                              Game 1: Drew Pomeranz (1-1 5.79) vs Alex Cobb (1-0 2.03)
                              Game 2: Brandon McCarthy (1-1 9.00) vs Matt Strahm (1-1 7.45)

                                So far I'm 13 games in and undefeated on dynamic difficulty. The pitching staff is rated the best in baseball and I have the best contact hitting team in the league. Pretty satisfied with my first draft on the Show 18
