Re: MLB The Show 21 Franchise Discussion Thread

I’m not sure if this is right place for this question but wanting to start a new franchise but can’t figure out how to set up 30 team control, can someone help me out with that? I just want it too I can correct/prevent dumb AI trade logic and roster management for teams I’m not playing with.

Disgruntled Fans Lead Phillies Front Office to Blow it Up and Start Over

With a veteran high payroll team middling around .500 every year and looking lifeless, the fans started to not show up and scream for the team to be torn down.

At the end of July the Phillies front office obliged. Bryce Harper, JT Realmuto, Didi Gregorious, Jean Segura, Archie Bradley and even Aaron Nola were sent out for some high level prospects.

During the offseason the plan was to sign the best players available with no commitment past one year. And to keep the payroll under $105 Million.

The Phillies sign Kyle Seager to play first, moving Rhys Hoskins to the full time DH. Yasiel Puig and Nomar Mazera were sign to man the corner outfield positions.

Sandy Alomar Jr. finally gets his chance to manage as he embarks on a rebuild to get the Phillies back to a team that can sustain at least 90 wins year in and out.

Coming into spring training the potential lineup is as follows……

CF Odubel Herrera
DH Rhys Hoskins
SS Gleybar Torres(part of Nola trade)
RF Nomar Mazra
3B Alec Bohm
LF Yasiel Puig
DH Kyle Seager
C Zach Collins(JT trade)
2B Nick Maton

SP Zach Wheeler
SP Luis Severino(Nola trade)
SP Zach Eflin
SP Joey Luchessi
SP Spencer Howard

CP Kendall Gravemen
RPs
Joe Kelly
Bailey Falter
Seranthony Dominquez
Vince Velasquez
Jojo Romero
and 2 other minor leaguers battling it out.

This will be a SIM franchise. All I will play is Opening Day, Home Opener. Post Trade Deadline game. And any major call ups. I will manage September games. And play playoff games.

Trade Deadline
The Phillies are sitting at a surprising 51-46. 5 out of the division and only two out of the second Wild Card spot. Sandy Alomar is getting the most out of a make shift roster.

The Phillies decided to buy at the deadline to an extent. They got Kike Hernandez from the Brewers in the last year of his contract for three prospects. All C potential SP David Parkinson, SS Luis Garcia and C Logan O’Hoppe.

They always picked up RP Reyes Moronta from the Giants for RP Jojo Romero and utility man Luke Williams. And then got Rougned Odor from the Yankees for Vince Velasquez.

Re: MLB The Show 21 Franchise Discussion Thread

2022
The Phillies finished at a surprising 85-77 and missed the division by 5 games and second Wild Card spot by just 3.

During the offseason they locked up Rhys Hoskins, Gleyber Torres, Alec Bohm and Zach Collins and committed to them as the core to hopefully bring back winning baseball. As they each got 3-5 year deals.

Luis Severino didn’t see an exciting market for his services and re-signed with the Phillies for 3 year at 39 million.

Nomar Mazara was brought back on a one year deal, as was Kyle Seager. The Phillies gave a year to Miguel Rojas to play second and Mark Canha to split time with Kyle Seager in a platoon.

Jarren Duran will be getting a shot in left field as this was earned due to a good end of 2022 and a strong spring. Adam Hasely won his spot back in Center Field as Odubel Herrera was left to sign elsewhere.

TIGERS FALL TO TWINS 5-3

The Twins hit three home runs, as they powered past the Detroit Tigers 5-3 Saturday afternoon. Nomar Mazara homered twice for the Tigers in the loss. Tarik Skubal took the loss for the Tigers, dropping his record to 6-3 on the season. He allowed 5 runs on 5 hits. Michael Pineda went 7 innings for the Twins, earning his 8th win of the season.

Mazara opened the scoring in the second, with a two run home run. Miguel Sano tied it in the 4th, with a two run shot of his own. Max Kepler untied the game with a solo home run in the 6th. Two batters later, Josh Donaldson put the Twins up 5-2 with a two run home run, chasing the starter Skubal. Mazara got the Tigers within a run in the 7th, with a solo shot, but that is as close as the Tigers would get. Kyle Dutcher grounded into a double play to end the game.

The loss drops the Tigers record to 81-13. The second place Twins improve to 58-36.

ROYALS SPLIT FOUR GAME SERIES IN DETROIT AMIDST SEVERAL MILESTONE ACHIEVEMENTS; SOLER’S RETURN FROM INJIRY

In game one of the series, Salvador Perez lined back up the middle for a single for his 1,000 career hit. The Royals would lose to the Tigers 7-3.

In game two of the series, Danny Duffy would strikeout Nomar Mazara for career strikeout 1,000 in a victory for the Royals 6-2.

The Royals win game three of the series 7-3.

Game four:
In the top of the first, Jorge Soler belted a HR to dead center, #100 on his career.

Mike Minor took the mound and ran into a lot of trouble. Miguel Cabrera hit a two run home run in the second, his first of the year. In the fourth inning, it was again Cabrera hitting a HR off of Minor, this time a three run shot. The Tigers would add one more to go up 6-1 on the Royals.

Hanser Aberto with a single in the top of the fifth scored Michael Taylor.

In the top of the seventh, Ryan O’Hearn hit a solo HR to trim it to 6-3.

The eight inning was led of by a Jarrod Dyson single who scored on a Michael Taylor double. Nicky Lopez walked. With two outs in the ninth, Hanser Alberto took a poorly placed change up from Michael Fulmer and hit it deep to center, bouncing off the wall about half way up to tie it at 6! Salvador Perez was walked and Soler grounded out to end the top of the ninth.
The Tigers couldn’t score in the bottom of the ninth and the game went to extras. The Royals got a run in the top of the inning on another Taylor single and took a 7-6 lead to the bottom of the inning.

The Tigers loaded bases with no outs, but Staumont buckled down, striking out Jeimer Candelario and Jacoby Jones. Robby Grossman came up and had a nine pitch inning, and took a full count walk to score the tying run. Niko Goodrum struck out and we went to the 11th.

Benintendi struck out, Alberto lined out, Salvy walked, and Soler flew out to end the scoring chance.

Scott Barlow game in the game and walked Baddoo and Greiner to load the bases with no outs. Unlike Staumont, Barlow couldn’t wiggle his way out of it, and Wili Castro laced a line drive down the left field line, getting down to walk it off for the Tigers, 8-7.

It was disappointing to see such a comeback and some clutch pitching go to waste, but we split the series and the Royals find themselves at 13-9, 1.5 GB of the Twins. They’ll go to Pittsburgh for two before going to face the first place Twins for a three game series in an important early season series.

Yes. And believe it or not, it is on LEGEND hitting/pitching difficulty as well.

Cardinals designate Ryan Helsley for assignment

The Cardinals have designated RHP Ryan Helsley for assignment. The 28 year old continues to struggle being a productive reliever.

Helsley spent most of last year in Memphis where he was serviceable, but still struggled at times recording outs and missing bats. The Cards decided to give him another shot at spring training this year, and Helsley has appeared in 4 games, pitched 2 2/3 innings with an ERA over 20 and a WHIP over 4. He has yet to record a single strikeout and has given up 4 homeruns in those limited innings.

The Cardinals will likely try to outright him to Memphis but he must first clear waivers. Its likely another club will give him a shot due to his makeup in the hopes that a fresh start will do him good.

The open 40 man roster spot was given to Nolan Gorman who will join the club in Florida for the remainder of spring training.

Cardinals 26 man roster locks and battles

With Spring Training nearing its end, its time to check in on the Cardinals 26 man Opening Day roster locks and the battles still taking place.

STARTERS

C - Yadier Molina
1B - Paul Goldschmidt
2B - Tommy Edman
SS - Paul DeJong
3B - Nolan Arenado
LF - OPEN
CF - Starling Marte
RF - Dylan Carlson

BENCH

C - Andrew Knizner
IF - Marwin Gonzalez
IF - Edmundo Sosa
OF - Justin Williams
OF - OPEN

ROTATION

Jack Flaherty
Carlos Martinez
Max Scherzer
Kwang Hyun Kim
OPEN

BULLPEN

Alex Reyes
Roberto Osuna
Tyler Webb (L)
Genesis Cabrera (L)
Givanny Gallegos
Jordan Hicks
OPEN
OPEN

LEFT FIELD/OUTFIELD

The battle for the everyday left field vacancy and the 2nd bench position is one the Cardinals want to be set on this late in Spring but just can't. Tyler O'Neill is being given every opportunity to make the everyday job his. BUT....his bat continues to be feast of famine. He's gotten the most AB's of any player this Spring and for good reason, the coaching staff loves his speed, power, and glove, he just needs to be a more consistent hitter. O'Neill belted 15 homeruns with 55 RBI's last year, but only batted .199 on the year. He's been slotted 8th in the lineup, but that hasn't helped.

Connor Capel and Lane Thomas the other legit contenders for the position. Capel played last year when Bader got hurt, then traded, while Carlson was in Memphis, as O'Neill moved to right field due to his arm. Capel won rookie of the month in June last year, but as the season wore on and pitchers learned more about his, him production dropped significantly. He's a decent defender and has average speed. The Cardinals really want him to start in Memphis, but he may be called upon at the big league level.

Lane Thomas spent very few days at St.Louis before injury shut him down for 2 months last year. He finished the year at Memphis as the everyday CF and was extremely productive. He has great range and glove for the field, good speed, good power, but like O'Neill doesn't hit consistently, although he's been better this spring than O'Neill. With Justin Williams being a lefty, its likely the Cards would choose Thomas over Capel, lefty, between those two.

ROTATION

The 5th and final spot in the rotation is settled, but it isn't. Dakota Hudson, Daniel Ponce de Leon, Jake Woodford, and highly touted prospect, left hander Levi Prater, all came to Spring Training battling for the position. The only two being considered now are Hudson and Prater, with Prater the favorite, but he only pitched at Single and Double A last year. The fear is handing the ball to him every 5th day too soon and impeding his progress. It's likely that Hudson will break camp as the starter with Prater going to Memphis, but don't expect Prater to stay in Memphis very long, especially if he dominates like he has this Spring. Prater has pitched 12 innings of 2 hit ball and not allowed a run. Pretty good for a guy that only pitched as high as Springfield last year.

BULLPEN

A sore spot last year, the Cardinals knew the battle for the pen would be wide open and while 6 of the 8 spots are essentially locked, there are two up for grabs between Hanser Robles, John Gant, Junior Fernandez, and Seth Elledge.

Robles and Gant are the favorites as they were solid in the pen last year, but Fernandez and Elledge are having terrific springs. Fernandez was the closer at Memphis last year and will likely start there again with Elledge being the 8th inning setup man in Memphis like last year. But Elledge could get the call over Gant/Robles simply because he's having a better spring. Elledge has struck out 12 of the 16 batters he's faced and hasn't allowed a hit over his 5 innings of work and only issued one free pass.

However it plays out, and this goes for the entire bullpen, expect them to have short leashes with viable arms waiting in the wings.

ROYALS SWEEP TWO GAME SERIES VS PIRATES TO END APRIL 15-9

A couple competitive games, a couple different Royals players stepping up to win the game.

Game one was a 5-2 win for the Royals and Erick Mejia was the hero, going 2-4 with an RBI double and a solo HR.

Game two was a 1-0 win decided by an RBI single from Michael Taylor. Bubic threw 7.0 scoreless innings.

Padres take the rubber match to win the series. Plenty of runs scored in the mile high city as expected with these two teams. Padres win series 2-1.

Trent Grisham was injured in my sim so missed the final two games of the series. He will also miss game one of next series before returning.

Game one: Padres (9 12 0) @ Rockies (1 4 1)

W- J. Musgrove (7-4) 7ip 3h 7k 1bb 0er
L- A. Gomber (4-4) 4.1ip 4h 5k 1bb 4er
HRs- T. Grisham (9, 10), J. Profar (7, 8)
PotG- CF Trent Grisham; 3-5, 2HR, 3B, 3RBI

Game two: Padres (5 9 2) @ Rockies (6 9 0) 10 innings

W- D. Bard (3-3) SP J. Gray 5ip 4h 6k 1bb 3er
L- R. Osuna (1-1) SP M. Clevinger 4.1ip 4h 5k 1bb 4er
HRs- E. Hosmer (6), W. Myers (7), D. Nuñez (17), R. Tapia (4)
PotG- C Dom Nuñez; 1-4 HR, 3RBI

**I manually had to put their closer Bard in the game for them in a tie game in the 9th. Yes I do things like this to help the AI lol.
**Walk off single in bottom 10 by Elias Díaz for the Rockies.

Game three: Padres (8 9 1) @ Rockies (2 6 0)

W- B. Snell (2-1) 6ip 4h 4k 1bb 1er
L- A. Senzatela (4-6) 4ip 6h 5k 3bb 7er
HRs- I. Desmond (4), W. Myers (8), J. Profar (9), C.J. Cron (12)
PotG- RF Wil Myers; 1-4 HR, 4RBI...Padres first grand slam of the season
