Anyone know how to trigger Edwin Diaz entrance from the bullpen? I've seen it but is there a certain way to trigger it?

Cardinals finish Spring Training at 15-10 - Set 26 man Opening Day Roster

The Cardinals have finished Spring Training with a record of 15-10 and will head to St.Louis to welcome the Blue Jays to town for Opening Day.

The best thing is the Cardinals avoided major injuries during the Spring and will be 100% healthy for opening day.

Some good battles took place, but all in all its who you would expect to make the roster that did. The biggest surprise I guess would be that Nolan Gorman will start the 2023 season in Memphis.

The Cardinals Opening Day Roster will be:

Rotation

Adam Wainwright
Jordan Montgomery
Jack Flaherty
Miles Mikolas
Steven Matz

Bullpen

Drew Van Hagen
Jordan Hicks
Genesis Cabrera
Anthony Mantiewicz
JoJo Romero
Giovanny Gallegos
Chris Stratton
Ryan Helsley (Closer)

Lineup

SS Tommy Edman
RF Dylan Carlson
1B Paul Goldschmidt
3B Nolan Arenado
C Willson Contreras
CF Tyler O'Neill
LF Lars Nootbaar
DH Juan Yepez
2B Brendan Donovan

Bench

C Andrew Knizner
IF Paul DeJong
IF Taylor Motter
OF Oscar Mercardo

Opening Day 2023 is finally upon us as the Cardinals look to win World Series title number 12.

Do you play every Spring Training game? Over the years have you seen many Spring Training injuries? Over the past few years even with sliders maxed I’ve seen little to no injuries in Spring Training both in played games and simmed games. Injuries always seemed toned down to me in Spring which I didn’t like.

So I was happy when in second Spring game a Marlins pitcher not only got an injury but a serious one on default sliders.

I play every Spring Training game. Injuries have always been rare in Spring Training it seems, even simmed games.

Every once in a while I'll see one, but they are few and far between it seems.

Cardinals sweep the Blue Jays to begin the 2023 season

The Cardinals (3-0) swept the Blue Jays over the weekend in St.Louis to begin the 2023 season.

The Cardinals won on Opening Day by coming back against the Blue Jays bullpen after Alex Manoah had shut them down for the better part of 6 innings. The Cardinals then won in dramatic fashion when Tommy Edman hit a 2 run walkoff homerun to give the Cardinals the 6-4 victory. Nolan Arenado recorded his 300th homerun in the game.

Game 2 saw Jordan Montgomery dominate the Blue Jays bats throwing a complete game and recording 11 strikeouts. The Cardinals once again put up 6 runs as they beat the Jays 6-1. Tyler O'Neill put one in Big Mac Land for his first homerun of the season.

Game 3 once again saw the Cardinals come back to win. Jack Flaherty got the ball and gave up 2 runs early, but held on thru 5 innings to earn the victory when the Cardinals made their comeback thanks to Dylan Carlson's 3 run double in the bottom of the 5th. Juan Yepez would hit a solo shot in the 7th to tack on another run, that was needed, after Danny Jansen homered in the 8th to cut the lead to 4-3. Ryan Helsley recorded his first save of the year striking out Bo Bichette with a runner on first to end the game.

The Cardinals will stay home and welcome the Braves to town for a 3 game series.

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

Anyone else notice that after a game in Franchise, if you check the box score, it doesn't show the batting averages for the season just batting averages for that game? It's always shown season averages, just thought I'd throw that out there

Thanks! Yea I hate how they are toned down in Spring. Injuries are a huge part of the game. Look at Hoskins, Diaz, Altuve, Wainright. I know three of the four I named gapped at the WBC but injuries can happen anywhere at any time.

I noticed this, too. I said something in the "glitches/Bugs thread.

If you access the box score from the schedule screen in Franchise, there, it does show the correct Average/ERA. It's only in game where it has it wrong

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

So, here we go with 2023. Starting my Tigers franchise. I have a thread going in the DYNASTY section of the message board, but I will also be posting updates here, as it seems this thread usually gets a lot more traffic.

I play every single pitch of every single game, on Legend difficulty. So the stats are all mine, no simulation whatsoever. This year, for the first time, I am streaming each game on youtube as well.

At the end of every update, there will be links to the schedule (with clickable links to every box score) as well as links to the full MLB Standings, and the Tiger's Stats page. All these are done on google sheets, and embedded on a page on Operationsports.com, so when I update the google sheets, the page automatically updates.

I plan on updating after every series. Each update will have a highlight video of each game in the series, with a mini linescore/notable hitters/pitchers. There will also be a link to the full box score, as well as a link to the full game stream on my Youtube channel.

So, with that said.......

My initial plan was to play one game per series this year. But with them changing up quick counts this year, I'm probably going to have to play without QC. I can't play multiple games every pitch and get through even half a season. So my plan now is to alternate pitch only one game, then hit only the next. I will sometimes use quick counts, sometimes not when I hit, only to help me work counts better.

Other years they would minus one pitch on every AB. So your first batter would start with a 3-2 count, it would add 4 pitches to the count. Now they count all the pitches. Which is actually accurate now. But the pitches add up quickly and pitchers are getting to 100 pitches by the 4th inning.

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

Well, that went much better than planned...

Not only did the D Backs hand the Padres(4-2) their first loss of the season, they sweep the Padres in the 2 game mini series and get back to .500 in the early season (3-3). The offense continued to stay hot, scoring 17 runs in the two games. All while giving up just 4.

In Game 1, MadBum gave the Padres more than they could handle, while going 6 innings with one run and 5 ks, leading to a 7-1 victory. Alek Thomas in his first game of the year hit a big 3 run homerun in the top of the 7th, to give the D Backs a 5-0 lead at the time. They would add on 2 more the next inning and shutdown the Padres for the Game 1 victory.

Game 2: Gallen and Musgrove started off to be the matchup everyone was hoping for. However as the game progressed, one of the pitchers faultered and the D Backs capitalized. Gallen went 7 while giving up 2 ER and 8 hits. Musgrove went 5.1 giving up 4 runs(3 earned), and after he was pulled the D Backs would pile on 6 in the 7th. This would solidify the victory.

Now the DiamondBacks get a day off for their flight back home, where they will now start a 7 game homestand, with 4 against the Dodgers(4-2) coming up first.

Probable Starters
Kelly (0-0, 0.00) v Urias (1-0, 0.00)
Jameson (0-1, 14.73) v Gonsolin (1-0, 0.00)
Nelson (1-0, 0.00) v May (0-1, 6.23)
Bumgarner (1-0, 1.50) v Syndergaard (1-0, 2.57)
