Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

What I’m really digging this year is injuries. Finally getting some, especially when raising the sliders. Past years even with slider at max few and far between. This year McNeil has already been injured twice and he’s currently out for two to three months and I love it!

My Mets are teetering along at 500 ball at 13-13.

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

Anyone else having a game breaking bug of teams not spending in FA. Every team has over 100mil left and no one is actively signing or trying to. Cubs let Happ and Bellinger go for nothing. I check next year and they have two D level players filling their spots.

Heck, every team is swimming in money not trying to improve in FA

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

Been awhile since I’ve checked in here and I can see I missed a lot. I’ve been playing a lot but not enough seriously to waste your time reading my numerous franchises.

However… on to a new journey for a rebuild. The Oakland A’s…. Sort of. I’m already into year 2, after simming all of year 1, taking care of scouting and the draft, we arrived to the off-season with the IRL plans to move this franchise to Las Vegas. With moving to a new city and hauling the franchise a couple states over, I didn’t totally want to abandon the A’s historic Franchise, so please allow me to introduce to you…

THE LAS VEGAS ATHLETICS.

We keep the Green and Yellow color ways, however, trying to strike the deep history of the A’s, we went with a lighter Green, (what I feel is a tad brighter) Yellow, and injecting a lot of Black into our uniforms.

Mind you, this is year 2, so our roster has taken on ALOT of change, ultimately In the best way possible. With a lot of changes, I’ve easily forgotten how and what I got for who, so I’ll leave out the details and just show the main things. Trying to be realistic as can be but as well as aggressive, we transformed this roster into what I think can actually compete.

Please bear with me while I attempt to post pictures for this.

I’m really excited for this new franchise. Although very new, I’m excited to see where this team is going. A lot of holes here but a lot of good players aligning for us.

Few more pics of our away jerseys. After the first year I may have to fine tune them a tad. Feels like I have a lot going on with them. But overall I like them. I just wish we could have abilities to have alternates for custom teams. I have a lot of ideas for these but what do you do?

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode Discussion

I have a question or two about strikeouts and the behavior of the CPUs

I'm excited to start my franchise with the Tigers

play every game myself and now stand at 4:4
dynamic difficulty
at bat i'm on allstar and that's exactly right i have my problems and also my moments the way i like it..

i have only one problem and that is that i strikeout my opponents too often
in 8 games 82 times to be exact.. at the moment hall of fame/meter pitching
does this change to hall of fame + or legend or do i have to change something on the sliders

2023 Washington Nationals

Game One: Lucas Giolito (7-9, 3.92) vs Dean Kremer (7-6, 3.66)
Brady House got the Nationals off to a good start by hitting a lead off home run on the second pitch of the game. He then doubled and scored on a Brandon Nimmo single in the third to put Washington up 2-0. The O’s rallied in the fourth when Christian Arroyo singled and scored via a double from Anthony Santander, who would then score when Ryan Mountcastle singled. Washington regained the lead in the sixth with back to back doubles from Luis Garcia and Joey Meneses, ending Dean Kremers day. Keegan Akin would enter but another run would score via a sac fly by Keibert Ruiz. The Nationals added an insurance run in the top of the ninth; Yadiel Hernandez singled and was replaced at first by CJ Abrams, who would steal second and score when Gleyber Torres doubled. Trevor Rosenthal earned another save by striking out the side in order in the ninth.

Game Two: Stephen Strasburg (10-7, 1.97) vs Marco Gonzales (0-0, 0.00)
Cedric Mullins was a catalyst for the Orioles offense early on, taking Strasburg deep on the very first pitch of the Orioles half of the first. He then drove in Austin Hays with a single in the second, but Washington countered in the third with a three run home run by Kike Hernandez. Washington knocked Gonzales out of the game with no outs in the fourth after he loaded the bases on a single from Lane Thomas, a hit by pitch to Luis Garcia and a walk to Victor Robles. D.L. Hall came in from the bullpen and immediately gave up a single to Wilmer Perez before striking out Brady House. Like Hernandez then hit a sac fly to put the Nationals up 5-2. Stephen Strasburg would be pulled after 6.2 innings and exactly 100 pitches, giving up the two runs on just five hits, walking five and striking out six. Washington added two more runs in the ninth with a single from Kike Hernandez, RBI double from Andrew Vaughn, and RBI single from Gleyber Torres. Baltimore would get two runs in the bottom of the ninth but Washington would win the game and sweep the two game set

The Nationals have moved to 57-59, now having one more win than their 2022 total. They sit in third place in the NL East but are just one game out of a Wild Card spot. The Brewers seem to have the number one Wild Card spot locked up, as they have been playing great ball for over a month and have gone from below .500 to just two games behind St. Louis for the NL Central lead. The Padres and Marlins are tied at 58-58 for the second WC spot, and the Nationals will play Miami in a four game set soon. Before they do, they will have an off day and three game series in Atlanta against the Braves.

Thanks man. Tried doing something a little different. I like the black ones but think they may need a little bit of tweaking in the off season.

I use the Tigers as well. Legend pithing difficulty. Here are my K/9 numbers.

Rodriguez 8.00 (Career average around 9.00)
Turnbull 9.41 (was right around 8.20 for his career)
Boyd 10.47 (Career high 11.56 in 2019)
Lorenzen 8.28 (four prior seasons with 8.64 or higher)
Manning 8.49 (about 2 ks/9 higher than his best season, but he is young)

These numbers are in 12-13 starts, and are pretty close to the actual player's career average.

I will say that with my relievers, some of them are higher than their career averages, some are lower. But It seems that, on Legend, at least, the numbers are pretty accurate.

As a team, I am tops in the league with 565 strikeouts, in 63 games. (8.96/game)But it isn't by a huge margin. The Brewers are second at 524.

In 2021, the average number of strikeouts per game per team per 9 innings was 8.86 So, the numbers on Legend (at least for me) are pretty realistic.
