Re: MLB The Show 18 Franchise Discussion Thread
Well as some of you may recall since I don't update all that often on here as some do I had a 17-game win streak back in May of this season. Turn the calendar to June and I have am currently on a longer one. Note I just said that I am CURRENTLY on.
I won the opening game of the month against the Royals 5-3. Lost the second game of the month to the Royals by a score of 3-2. Since then I have not lost for the entire month of June.

a lot of those game were come from behind wins or scoreless late and me putting the hurt on them late. that brings my current streak to 25-games.
The Toronto Blue Jays are currently atop the AL East with a record of 50-32. the have a 1.5 game lead over second-place Baltimore. Whom for a while had Manny Machado on the trading block. That was until the became contenders again.
The Cleveland Indians currently to no ones surprise have the lead in the AL Central with a record 45-36. Which gives them a secure hold on the second place Minnesota Twins by 7.0 games.
The American League West in under sole ownership of the Oakland A's. As at the end of June, they have a record of 68-16. having won 25 straight games they have an ever commanding lead over the second place Houston Astros by 26.5 games.
The AL Wild Card race is shaping up nicely. the Orioles sit atop of it with a record of 50-35. Behind them in the second spot are the New York Yankees with a record of 46-36. The Houston Astro sit 5.5 games back in the third spot.
The NL East sees the Washington Nationals sitting atop the division at the end of June with a record of 44-37. The Philadelphia Phillies sit in second place with a record of 43-41, 2.5 games back.
The NL Central is a logjam atop the division. The Cubs and Brewers are tied atop the division with identical 47-36 records. The Cardinals are in the mix just 3.5 games back.
The Dodgers have been pacing the race in the NL West all season it seems. they currently have a record of 61-21. which gives them what would seem an insurmountable lead over the Rockies in second place with a 15.5 game lead.
the Cubs and Brewers are both leading the NL Wild Card race, however, there are many behind them that are still well within the hunt. The Rockies (46-37) are just one game back.
The St. Louis Cardinals (43-39) are 3.5 games back
The San Francisco Giants (43-41) are 4.5 games back as are the Philadelphia Phillies

they came to me with the trade and literally hemmed and hahed at it for what seemed like forever. once came to the conclusion that it will greatly help me with my muddled weak CF situation I pulled the trigger. it hurt me depth wise in the middle of the infield, but I think in the long run it will help me out offensively as well as defensively.
