Re: What team and why

Rockies. That's a personal bias though. I hate the Dodgers, and dislike the Giants so I enjoy beating them as much as possible. As for the Cardinals, I still carry a grudge against them for the 2011 WS.

Cmon now Caulfield, don’t be like that. My two favorite teams are the Cardinals and whoever is playing the Braves.

Re: What team and why

I'm surprised that you mentioned Avery. When someone is referencing the 90's pitchers dream team, Avery always gets left out of the conversation.

Those Braves teams had a lot of Michiganders following with Smoltz and Avery on the staff. I was disappointed that the MLB Network doc a few weeks back had no mention of Avery (that I recall). It was fun seeing Smoltz, Maddux, and Tommy G together.

Once Drove 4 hours from Ann Arbor to Pittsburgh when I was 16 to see Braves take on the Bucs in 3 Rivers Stadium. Maddux threw a 3 hit complete game in under 2 hours. Want to say he threw somewhere in the 90 pitches range. In my eyes, the 91 WS will never be beaten (even with the gut wrenching heartbreak). 7 games, 3 going in extra innings including a 10 inning 1-0 game 7 finish. Fantastic.

I'm not really a Rangers fan but the woman I was with at the time was, and the Cards really made it a long cold winter for me

When a pitcher gets a complete game on less than 100 pitches I've heard it called a Maddux. LOL! Was amazing how he routinely did that. But I found something that shocked me a week or so ago, I was looking at his game logs because I was wondering what the highest number of walks he ever had in a game was. Well I found a game from 90 or 91 where he walked 7 batters. Now the question is, since I didn't get to watch the game, how many of those walks were the oh "unintentional (intentional) walk" variety. I think from 92 or 93 onward he never walked more than 4 in a game.

Re: What team and why

I am still playing 17 and use fictional rosters. My Giants franchise is in year three. I decided to play with them because I liked the uniforms and stadium. I am a Yankee fan in real life so never go with them in the game (I am nuts and if stats don't add up to real life I get upset). If I get 2018, which I eventually will if fictional rosters come out for the game, and play with real life rosters I think I would chose the Reds because its a difficult rebuild or maybe Tampa or Miami because both franchises are a complete mess and should probably be contracted out.

Re: What team and why

I use the Indians (my hometown/favorite) for my MoM franchise and the Rays (Cause I know live near Tampa and would be a fun rebuild)for my play franchise.

Marlins because apparently I'm broken on the inside...

It's actually been surprisingly fun because of how impossible it is.

Re: What team and why

I am messing around with the Rays, Pirates and Reds now trying to decide between the 3 teams. Feel free to give input.

If I could get Cutch & Cole back, I'd play with Pittsburgh lol
As it stands, I love playing @Great American so I'd probably lean Cincinnati
As for Tampa, in the AL East, I'm a Baltimore guy, through & through

Re: What team and why

I just picked up 18. I started with the Twins, fun team battling for wildcard spot. And needs some TLC in the farm system. The other team I picked was the Brewers. Same deal pretty much. Tough division, battlring for wild card and needs some help in the farm system. Looking forward to a fun season.

Re: What team and why

After starting a few different franchises and playing a few games to see how I felt, I think I've decided on the Mariners. Instead of a full rebuild, I like to try and take a "middle of the road team" who is either the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th ranked team in their Division. With the Mariners, it can be argued that they are the third best team in that division behind the Astros and the Angles so it will be a large battle for the Division and another battle to maybe get the Wild Card with the likes of Boston, NY, MIN, CLE, and those teams. I like to have the option of either going up or down depending on how I actually do during the season.

Re: What team and why

I'm using the Cubs and White Sox because I've grown up in Chicago and always liked both (The cubs more)
