Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

Back to a three-game lead over the division again. did I just prove my dominance over the division? Or were the Mariners just getting too cocky and didn't take us seriously in this series?

Either way, we swept them away. Until next time Seattle...

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

upcoming series:

May 12th - May 14th, 2020

Oakland Athletics (28-11, 1st ALW) @ Cleveland Indians (17-24, 3rd ALC)

Game #1

Kendall Graveman (3-0, 2.09) Vs. Danny Salazar (2-4, 3.71)

Game #2

Sean Manaea (4-0, 2.56) Vs. Dallas Keuchel (2-2, 4.96)

Game #3

Daniel Mengden (6-1, 2.68) Vs. Mike Clevinger (2-2, 5.63)

The A's come into this series riding a five-game win streak. The Indians have won two straight coming into this series. they find themselves in the middle of the pack in the AL Central. 7.5 games back of both the Twins and Royals.

Yes, I said the Royals are atop the division.

While all this is going on the Seattle Mariners are in Chitown taking on the White Sox. they took game one, we will be keeping one eye on this series on the out of town scoreboard!!

Cardinals sweep Cubs in Wrigley

The Cardinals swept the Cubs in Chicago to move into a tie with the Padres for the 2nd wildcard and a half game behind the Cubs for the top wildcard spot. They are also now within 3 games of the Pirates.

The Cardinals continued their strong second half play behind good pitching and hot bats, especially that of Ozzie Albies who drove in 11 runs in the 3 game series. His batting average still looks horrid on the face, but he's been swinging a hot bat this 2nd half and now has 19 RBI's.

Brendan McKay may be the hottest hitter on the team earning 3 hits again for the 3rd time since the All-Star Break and he has now homered in 5 straight games. He's also doubled in 4 straight.

The biggest concern over the 3 game series is Dean Kiekhefer in the bullpen who continues to struggle and be unreliable. The left hander is without options so the Cardinals may have their hand forced here as they acquired Andrew Miller off waivers and optioned Corey Littrell to Memphis. They also have Robby Scott in Memphis as well. Don't be surprised if before the deadline in 7 days if the Cardinals don't move Kiekhefer in what will be a "seller" trade where they acquire young talent.

The Cardinals will be off on Thursday as they head home to close out the month. They will host the Giants over the weekend and then the Reds to start the week and close the month.

Remaining July schedule:

3 vs SF
3 vs CIN

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

TIGERS TAKE THREE OF FOUR FROM TORONTO, START 2019 STRONG

In what can only be described as dominant pitching to give Tigers fans hope, Detroit wins three of four games in Toronto, outscoring the Blue Jays 16-8, including a 8-1 drubbing in the series finale. Jeimer Candelario began the season string with two homeruns in the first two games, both solo bombs over 450 feet. Nicholas Castellanos knocked in four runs himself, and Wilmer Difo has shown a knack for putting bat on the ball on getting on base to begin the season.

Starting pitching was a strength in this series, with the bullpen absolutely imploding in the eight inning of the third game for Detroit, their only loss. Detroit's bullpen gave up six runs, five of them earned, on five hits and one walk in that eighth inning leading to their 6-1 loss.

Fulmer almost made the record books in the season opener, striking out twenty batters in eight innings, leading the Tigers to a 3-1 victory. Game two saw Matt Boyd go the distance giving up only four hits and striking out seven. Game four had new Tiger Zack Wheeler debuting against rookie T.J. Zeuch, making his major league debut. Zeuch struggled, throwing 91 pitches in 3.2 innings, giving up five runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out five. Detroit drew six walks in this game and got a solo homerun from Tyler Flowers in route to a 8-1 victory.

Detroit heads to New York next for a three game series against the Yankees, who lost two of three to Baltimore to begin the season.

Notes:
The fourth game was my best in terms of hitting. I've never drawn that many walks in a single game before. I struggle to draw that many in a series at times lol
I may need to make changes to my sliders. I'm content with hitting so far; the only change there may be to increase the pitch speed. If it continues like how the fourth game went, then I may up the difficulty. I mean, I did strike out far too many times for my liking, but that's on me. But this was only one game, one team. Pitching-wise, however, I think I need to adjust something. Maybe shift up a difficulty. I struck out 55 Blue Jays, and my only walks came from intentionally walking them to set up force-outs. Again, don't know if that was from sliders, difficulty, me getting better, or pitching against the Blue Jays. I think this next series against New York will give me a better look.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

With 22 games to go, we have an 8.5 game lead over Nats. And we’re about to start a four-game series with them at SunTrust. They pretty much have to sweep to have any chance at overtaking me.

We have joined the Astros as teams that have clinched a playoff berth.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

Six wins in a row. However, once again my bullpen decided that it wanted this game to come down to wire but allowing the Indians to come close to coming back.

This obsession with my bullpen playing mind games with opposing teams is starting to get on my last nerve. just get the batters that you're facing out. we are not here to toy with the opposing players. as it could just as easily backfire on us and blow up in our faces.

The White Sox took care of business as they outlasted the M's to allow our division lead over them to grow to 3.5 games.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

This was a pitching and defense masterpiece. I probably maybe could have won this one. again if I could have laid off MANY pitches out of the zone on all counts in this one. All the credit goes to Keuchel however as he made us look like toddlers trying to hit big-league pitching.

Actually, if I would have been able to be just more focused as I have in many games since going to AS I would have stood a chance in this one...

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

Cardinals DFA Dean Kiekhefer

In a move that most following the Cardinals this season, and here of late, will not be surprised by, the Cardinals have designated Dean Kiekhefer for assignment.

The 33 year old left handed reliever has struggled this season, especially here lately, which prompted the Cardinals to grab veteran Andrew Miller off waivers from the Yankees. The Cardinals gave Kiekhefer another chance by optioning Corey Littrell to Memphis instead of moving Kiekhefer then. Well 10 days later, nothing has improved, and the Cardinals are moving on.

With Kikehefer being out of options, its extremely likely that the Cardinals have made this move because they have a trade partner lined up and are working out the details. This allows the Cardinals to make a corresponding roster move to fill the bullpen vacancy while still working on the trade details. It's expected, they will recall Corey Littrell back from Memphis.

more to come...

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

When it comes to heart/backbreaker games I'm usually the one dishing those out. well, I had it done to me in my previous game. So I should have expected this *** Whipping to happen. Due to my experience being on the other end of games like this after games like the last one... I think I confused myself there lol...

Well with Seattle having the day off there they gained a half-game on us. So now they are just two games back in the division. maybe our upcoming six-game homestand will fix our heads or whatever... home cooking sounds good...

Cardinals trade Dean Kiekhefer to Red Sox for prospects

The Cardinals and Red Sox have agreed to a trade that will send LHP Dean Kiekhefer to the Red Sox for prospects.

Cardinals get:

OF - Scott Hurst
2B/IF - Felix Villalobos

Red Sox get:

LHP - Dean Kiekhefer

Dean Kiekhefer was designated for assignment just two days ago. It was thought then the Cardinals had a trade partner in place just working out the details. The Cardinals are getting two high potential prospects in Hurst and Villalobos.

Scott Hurst is a 26 year old OF who is currently at the AA level where he's hitting .289 with an OBP of .380 and has 23 stolen bases this year. The left handed hitting Hurst is a centerfielder primarily but can play left and possesses a strong enough arm to play right field as well.

Felix Villalobos is a 21 year old 2B who is playing in A ball right now. The switch hitting Villalobos can play 2B, SS and 3B. He will most likely be brought up as a 2B in the Cardinals organization, but the flexibility is nice to have.

With the trade deadline being just a few days away, I wouldn't expect the Cardinals to make any additional moves.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

Rebounded to start the long road home!

Although I opened up vs. the lowly Marlins(11-19). I took care of business. Stop the bleeding sort of speak by taking game 1 5-2, I was on a 4 game losing streak. Although I lost Game 2 was pretty. I like a lil humble pie every now & then. CP Kimbrel blew his 1st save out of 13 opportunities. Giving a 2R HR blast to Starling Castro in the bottom of the 9th in the LF corner.

Game 3 Teheran was very dominate of the Marlins, just like in real life this year. LOL!!
Going 7.1 IP, 6H, BB, 7K, OER & OR.. I was going for the complete game shutout, but he was over 120 pitches. He had no energy and the Marlins got back to back singles in the 8th, so I turned it over to the pen. The two V's (Vizcaino Venters) took it home. We won 5-0!

I still have some concerns about me using Freddie. I have hit 3HR's with him, but just not vibing with him. Ender is a hitting machine for me. Batting .368,0HR,49H,21R & an OPS of .850.

Currently my lineup looks like this:
Vs. Righties
1. CF Inciarte see last line above.
2. 2B Albies .284 1HR 13RBI 9SB OPS.681
3. 1B Freeman .263 3HR,17RBI, OPS .749
4. LF Acuna Jr. .363,7HR, 21RBI, 8SB, OPS .961
5. 3B Donaldson .283,9HR, 23RBI, OPS .851
6. RF J-Hey .300 3HR,10RBI, 4SB, OPS .755
7. C B-Mac (platoon) .341,82AB, 3HR, 11RBI, OPS.935
8. SS Swanson .237 0HR, 6RBI, SB, OPS .537
9. SP

Similar lineup Vs. Lefties, but I am going to move Freddie to the 5 spot, Acuna in the 3rd hole & Josh as the cleanup guy. See if this gets Freddie going. His morale to hit because he went from Star to Everyday (6 to 3), but overall stay at 88..

Up the next the LAD. I love LA!!! LOL.. They're 21-15, 2nd place, 1 GB to the D-backs which I end the road trip against in 4 game set. I guess I'll help both of them out. One way or the other.

I am enjoying myself this year....

Cardinals activate Juan Fabregas from 10 Day IL

The Cardinals have activated OF Juan Fabregas from the 10 Day IL. He was on the IL due to a lat strain. Fabregas was on a cold streak (8 for 41 in last 10) prior to his stint on the IL. Hopefully he'll bounce back and regain his form that has made him a viable threat in the lineup.

The Cardinals are sending Jose Adolis Garcia back to Memphis in a corresponding move.

Re: MLB The Show 19 Franchise Discussion Thread

if you all don't see me post here for a day or whatever just know that I decided to start a second franchise and run it over the Dynasty HQ (baseball) thread of this site.

I'm doing it fairly, however. I am playing one series per franchise. So I just played the first two games of my season over there. Tomorrow I plan on finishing that series up and coming back to my primary franchise here and doing a whole series here.

I just have to remember not to overwrite my cloud save for THIS franchise. which I ALMOST did TWICE already!! lol...

see you soon my friends...

2024 Chicago White Sox All Star Break Update
Overall Record:57-31 (1st in AL Central)
Record Since Last Update:17-10

Standings

White Sox trade star closer Von Jordan at All Star Break
Von Jordan (92 OVR A POT 27 CP) has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers after struggling for the White Sox. The move was made just a day after Jordan blew his second save in as many days against the teams rival, the Chicago Cubs leading into the ALL Star Break. Overall, Jordan had been struggling this season posting a 5.27 ERA in 28 games and 27.1 IP.

White Sox manager, Tate Baik spoke to the media after the deal was finalized. He thanked Jordan for his time with the team but said that he and the rest of the front office thought it was time to move on. Aside from that, he said that it wouldn't make much sense to have someone of Jordan's caliber sitting in the minors.

A week before the deal was done, the White Sox were offered a trade by the Texas Rangers which would exchange their closer, Ronnie Spence (92 OVR A POT 26 YO) for a couple of the Sox top prospects. At the time, the trade was declined, however, after Jordan was dealt, the Sox contacted the Rangers who agreed to a trade that sent SP Will Jensen (20 YO 65 OVR A POT), CP Eddie Acevedo (24 YO 78 OVR C POT) and RP Timothy Morales (20 YO 71 OVR C POT) to the Rangers organization. Acevedo took over the Rangers closer spot on their MLB roster while Jensen and Morales stayed in AAA.

Spence currently only has two blown saves this season compared to Jordan's seven.

Spence also represented his new team, the White Sox in the All Star game. He was joined by his new team mates Tim Anderson (SS), Yoan Moncada 2B, Luis Roberts (CF) and Johnny Shinjo (LF, did not start).

The White Sox open up with the Royals in their first series after the ASB.
