Cardinals acquire Jon Singleton from Brewers

The Cardinals have acquired 1B Jon Singleton from the Brewers to be the everyday first baseman with Matt Carpenter being lost for the year due to a knee injury.

Details of the trade:

Brewers Get:

SP Jose Quintana
3B Harrison Murdock (A potential - Great defensive player)
LF Dylan Carlson (A potential - Contact hitter with good glove)

Jon Singleton is in the final year of his contract so he'll be a free agent at the end of the year. Depending on how this goes, and what happens with Carpenter, the Cardinals could look to re-sign the 29 year old in the offseason.

I also wouldn't quit this franchise and start over. You made these moves for a reason, and I've been of the idea that even if you start over you'll find yourself making similar moves in your new franchise.

My lousy $0.02

you give good sound advice which I will take to heart. I also think part of the problem was that I got really far behind in my season. then had to force myself to play large bunches of games on my days off to get me where I wanted to be by the end of the real world series.

So I think there was a good amount of burn out going on there for a while. So now that I have that out of my system it is time to get back in and get this thing going again.

thank you CB for your response... it has helped me a great deal.

So I am now 6-0 on the season. pitching really isn't my issue. I feel that is the strongest part of my game. patience at the plate however I continue to work on. it will forever be a struggle but as days go by I feel that I am making very small strides in getting better at following most of the pitches to the plate.

For the first game on Default AS I feel it went well.

see how game two goes...

Again I might be the worst two-strike hitter in the history of the game of baseball. I again had many opportunities to get into either good hitter's counts or to get walks... but they never happened.. more work to do on that...

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

maybe after this "test" is over you can help guide me on how to get a balanced experience out of the game before 19 drops. so that way when it does drop i will have a better idea of where i need to start with or without sliders.

This would have been another win IF I had remembered to look and pay attention to my pitcher's stamina during the fifth inning. I happened to hang just two pitches in the sixth inning and that was it.

once again my poor plate discipline with two strikes was my ultimate downfall in this one... well can't win them all I guess... even though I should have won this one.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

About to end July in my first season. I was playing last night and wasn't really paying attention to the situation. It was snowing out and I was dead tired! I play a weeks work of games on Friday and Saturday night... Anyway in my daze of playing I get to the 8th inning and I'm up 6-0. I look at the stats after the Pitching is tired pop up happened and I noticed Dylan Bundy is throwing a perfect game at 88 pitches.

OH MY GOD my heart was racing for the next 15 minutes. Anyway I end up throwing a perfect game and it was magical. A spark in a lost season!

17. Straight. Wins.

Mets have won every game they've played in July, including a 6-0 mark following the All-Star Game.

This would have been another win IF I had remembered to look and pay attention to my pitcher's stamina during the fifth inning. I happened to hang just two pitches in the sixth inning and that was it.

once again my poor plate discipline with two strikes was my ultimate downfall in this one... well can't win them all I guess... even though I should have won this one.

Looks good.

If you're not doing so already, remember to pay attention to the pitcher/batter analysis tool that is provided. As you increase difficulty, it becomes more important to make sure you're not pitching in patterns and trying to determine what is working against a hitter and what isn't.

As a hitter, its important to understand what a pitcher is doing to try and get the hitter out.

I had to check to see if I was still on all-star with this one... felt more like a rookie level game with all my scoring and how well I was pitching. i was on all-star difficulty every pitch of the game.

since I use quick counts I am trying to get myself to take more pitches in early counts. since most of the counts you start with are 1-1 I try to always take the first pitch or two. it all depends on what that first pitch is of course. still, have to continue to work on my two-strike free swinging stuff.. getting better. had several check swings on pitches WELL outside the zone in this one...

I know the feature you are referring to CB I have looked at it maybe a handful of times over the years... never really made that much sense to me at all.. lol... I do pitch in patterns to a degree.

since I use quick counts the pattern is never really the same, however. it can be but I doubt the CPU is doing a very good job at picking up my pattern. at least not yet.

Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread

Just finished the 2021 Regular Season, year 8 of my Cubs franchise. We finished the regular season with an MLB record 118 wins. We got on quite a roll early on so I upped both my hitting and pitching difficulties, ending up on All Star+ for hitting and Legend for pitching. It just didn't seem to matter.

Some of the highlights from my season, 2014 draft pick Ronald Chavez lead the majors in every pitching category but K's. He finished 26-2 with a 2.11 ERA, 0.98 whip and 6.6 WAR. On the offensive side 2015 draft pick Barrett Willis won his second straight batting title, hitting .320. Anthony Rizzo was the star however finishing the year at 314/57/138. Good for a 9.0 WAR and his 3rd MVP. He also won back to back MVP's in 14 and 15. The weird stat line of the year goes to Javier Baez. He got off to a rough start battling injuries and ineffectiveness so he only played 120 games. In those games he ended up hitting .243 with 60 HR's and 117 RBI's. Good for a 5.3 WAR. Where things get weird is it only took him 436 AB's to get the 60 HR's. In fact he only had a total of 106 hits, 60 HR's, 10 doubles, 2 triples and 34 singles.

My starting line-up is made up of 3 players I drafted, Bryant and Baez, who are CAP's so every stat they've accumulated has been by me. Heyward, Rizzo and Justin Upton, who I acquired at the trade deadline this year for 2 top 50 prospects.

My pitching staff is led by the aforementioned Chavez and Barton Gonzalez, another pitcher I drafted in 2014. Jon Lester, who I signed before the real life Cubs, and Free Agent signees Kevin Gausman (2020) and Yu Darvish (2021). My bullpen is made up of mostly guys I traded for with the exception of Wade Davis, who I signed before the 2018 season.

It's been so much fun carrying this team over every year since 14. I find that I'm much more invested and root for the guys I've drafted and developed over my favorite real life players. I can't wait to finish out the 2021 playoffs, hopefully winning World Series #2 (won it all in 2018) and then building for 2022.
