TIGERS SWEEP PIRATES

TIGERS 9 PIRATES 2 MAY 28, 2024

BOX SCORE

<br>
<br>The Togers beat the Pirates 9-2 in game one. Pittsburgh jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. The Tigers scored in the second, and tied it up in the fifth, before scoring three times in both the sixth and eighth innings. Kyle Dutcher (21) and Javier Baez (10) homered. Mark Canha drove in three.

Matt Manning started, and went five strong innings, but had to leave the game in the sixth with what is being described as a strained finger. The hope is that Manning will not have to miss a start, but an I.L stint is possible.

TIGERS 11 PIRATES 2 MAY 29, 2024

BOX SCORE

<br>
<br>The Tigers slugged five home runs, beating the Pirates 11-2, completing the sweep of the two game series. Mark Canha (9) homered twice. Riley Greene (8), Jake Rogers (8), and Spencer Torkelson (19) also homered. Greene drove in four, while Canha drove in three.

Casey Mize (5-3) allowed two runs over six and a third innings, earning his 5th win of the season.
<br>

The Tigers now head to Boston, for a four game series against the Red Sox (26-30). They then head to Texas, to face the defending World Series Champion Rangers.

Following the game, the Tigers activated infielder Andy Ibanez from the I.L. In a corresponding move, they optioned OF Matt Vierling to Toledo.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

So I found a video on youtube of a guy (Fiend Franchise) doing a "Draft Only" franchise. I thought this idea was really interesting, so I decided to try my own.

In this type of franchise, you must build your team through the draft only (MLB Draft or Rule 5 Draft). During the first season you simulate the entire season and in the offseason you have to release every player on your 40-Man Roster, so you are starting the MLB roster completely from scratch.

Since I will be starting completely over, I decided to start one with my favorite team (Houston Astros).

So I simulated the entire first season (lost the World Series in 4 games to the Dodgers). Then I released every player on my 40-Man Roster, and drafted 26 players in the Rule 5 Draft. Here is the team I ended up with:

SP - Eric Lauer - 29 yrs old - 72 OVR
SP - Garrett Hill - 29 yrs old - 70 OVR
SP - Blayne Enlow - 26 yrs old - 67 OVR
SP - Tyler Phillips - 27 yrs old - 67 OVR
SP - Carlos Vargas - 25 yrs old - 67 OVR
SP - Brendan Beck - 26 yrs old - 66 OVR
RP - Zach Brzycky - 25 yrs old - 63 OVR
RP - Blake Burkhalter - 24 yrs old - 63 OVR
RP - Holden Powell - 25 yrs old - 63 OVR
RP - Ronan Kopp - 22 yrs old - 62 OVR
RP - Matt Cronin - 27 yrs old - 60 OVR
RP - Carson Palmquist - 24 yrs old - 60 OVR
CP - Nathan Lavender - 25 yrs old - 63 OVR

C - Cole Carrigg - 22 yrs old - 67 OVR
C - Matheu Nelson - 26 yrs old - 66 OVR
1B - Tyler Locklear - 24 yrs old - 66 OVR
1B - Ivan Melendez - 25 yrs old - 65 OVR
1B - Haydn McGeary - 25 yrs old - 64 OVR
2B - Raynel Delgado - 25 yrs old - 65 OVR
2B - Nick Sogard - 27 yrs old - 62 OVR
3B - Nate Eaton - 28 yrs old - 69 OVR
SS - Michael Helman - 28 yrs old - 69 OVR
LF - Andrew Pinckney - 24 yrs old - 67 OVR
CF - Daniel Mateo - 23 yrs old - 66 OVR
CF - Yoelqui Cespedes - 27 yrs old - 65 OVR
RF - Roberto Campos - 21 yrs old - 69 OVR

Obviously, our team is going to be AWFUL. All I'm hoping out of this group is that I can find a few guys that can contribute to our team when we start turning this thing around.

We also have some good players left over from last season that were not on our 40 man roster. These guys will likely get a chance to play for us at some point this season, but for now I am leaving them in the farm system. These guys include:

SP - Spencer Arrighetti - 25 yrs old - 70 OVR - B potential
2B/OF - Pedre Leon - 26 yrs old - 65 OVR - C potential
3B/1B/2B - Zach Dezenzo - 24 yrs old - 63 OVR - B potential
SS/2B - Brice Matthews - 23 yrs old - 70 OVR - C potential
OF - Jacob Melton - 24 yrs old - 71 OVR - B Potential
OF - Kenedy Corona - 24 yrs old - 69 OVR - C potential
OF - Luis Baez - 21 yrs old - 69 OVR - B potential

And during the draft we were able to snag a great looking SS prospect named Fernando Reyes. He is 21 yrs old, 73 OVR with B potential.

Here is to hoping we are able to build this team into a championship contender like our Astros have been over the past 5+ years. Lord knows we are going to start having some GREAT draft picks soon.

Best of luck man! I always enjoy doing these types of rebuilds as well!

Cardinals take 3 of 4 from Reds in St.Louis

The Cardinals (44-41) took 3 games of a 4 game series with the Reds over the weekend in St.Louis. The Cardinals are now within 3 games of the Brewers and occupy the 3rd wild card spot.

The Cardinals offense was explosive this series scoring a total of 41 runs and hitting a dozen homeruns. In the meantime the pitching was just as good allowing only 9 runs total in the series. This is the first series since the beginning of the season that both the pitching and hitting was on the same page the entire series.

The Cardinals will now travel to Pittsburgh for a 3 game series with the Pirates.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Cardinals Sweep Pirates as streak continues

The Cardinals (47-41) swept the Pirates in Pittsburgh to begin the week. The Cardinals have now won 6 straight games and have closed to within a game of the Brewers in the NL Central and lead the Reds by 2 games in the wildcard.

The hot hitting continues for the Cardinals who scored 5 runs on Tuesday, 7 on Wednesday, and 6 on Thursday. Pitching wasn't as strong as the Reds series, but still was serviceable to keep leads and close out games. The best news of the series is Jack Flaherty thru a complete game shutout on Tuesday. Flaherty has struggled this year, but this could be a turning point for him becoming a top rotational starter that he was pegged to be in the Cardinals organization.

Paul Goldschmidt continues to swing a hot bat as he has hit safely in 10 straight games and homered in back to back games (Wednesday and Thursday)

The Cardinals will travel to Washington for a 4 game series that includes an odd Monday finale of the series.

Cardinals acquire Jordan Hicks from Giants

The Cardinals continue the reuniting campaign as they acquired RHP Jordan Hicks from the Giants. Hicks who was a starter for the Giants was just 2-7 with a plus 4 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. He was only averaging about 5 innings per start. The Cardinals will convert Hicks back to a bullpen piece as they look to improve their pitching staff over the next few weeks as the deadline approaches.

In return the Giants received OF Nathan Church (#18 STL organization) RHP Sem Robberse (#15 STL organization) and RHP Zach Showalter (#20 STL organization)

The Cardinals will continue to look to improve the pitching staff, but don't expect them to sell the farm to do so. This will likely be the biggest return the Cards send to acquire a trade piece, but this is in part due to Hicks is under contact for the next 3 years.

2024 Oakland Athletics 05/17-05/19

Overall Record: 21-28 (5th AL West/10.5 behind Los Angeles Angels)

game Results

Game 1
Athletics-1
Royals-0

Game 2
Athletics-3
Royals-2

Game 3
Royals-3
Athletics-1

A's win streak reaches four before loss in last game vs. KC


The A's won two of three against the Kansas City Royals in a low scoring series. There were only ten combined runs in the series between the two teams. Oakland won games one and two, 1-0 and 3-2 before the Royals won the final game of the series, 3-1.

The Athletics got their two wins despite getting out hit in each game (10-3 and 8-6). The A's lone run in game one came via a Matt Chapman rbi single in the 6th inning that knocked in Ryan Noda who singled earlier in the inning. Alex Wood got his third win of the series despite allowing nine hits in just six innings of work.

The A's got two homeruns in game two from two pretty surprising contributors. Lawrence Butler hit his first of the season in the 3rd inning, a two run shot to right center field. Jordan Diaz then hit his third of the year in the fifth inning after the Royals tied it up at 2-2. After that the bullpen combination of Mitch Spence, Scott Alexander and Lucas Erceg held the Royals scoreless while Erceg gathered his 12th save of the season.


The Royals got an early RBI out of Darion Blanco in game three and two more from Salvardor Perez and Vinnie Pasquantino as the A's offense struggled to get much going aside from a sixth inning homerun by Seth Brown (#8) as Oakland failed to capture their first sweep of 2024.

Now, after seventeen games in row, Oakland will have a day off before they return home to face off with the Rockies (16-30/5th NL West).

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

Our "Draft Only" Astros have made it to August 2nd, 2025 and it's even worse than I thought it was going to be. We are currently sitting at 23-87 on the season. The White Sox and Rockies each have 39 wins... that's the closest to how bad our team is. And considering we were in the World Series last year, we were left with a pretty weak drafting position as well... we'll talk about all of that later.

Right now, let's look at some stats from our guys:

C - Cole Carrigg - .228 avg. with 6 HRs and 26 RBIs
1B - Tyler Locklear - .219 avg. with 4 HRs and 22 RBIs
2B - Raynel Delgado - .216 avg. with 4 HRs and 27 RBIs
3B - Nate Eaton - .214 avg. with 3 HRs and 23 RBIs
SS - Michael Helman - .211 avg. with 5 HRs and 25 RBIs
LF - Andrew Pinckney - .219 avg. with 8 HRs and 30 RBIs
CF - Daniel Mateo - .206 avg. with 6 HRs and 31 RBIs
RF - Roberto Campos - .223 avg. with 11 HRs and 47 RBIs
1B - Ivan Melendez - .214 avg. with 10 HRs and 30 RBIs
C - Matheu Nelson - .210 avg. with 1 HR and 3 RBIs
1B - Haydn McGeary - .380 avg. with 4 HRs and 9 RBIs
CF - Yoelqui Cespedes - .198 avg. with 1 HR and 11 RBIs
2B - Nick Sogard - .239 avg. with 2 HRs and 11 RBIs

SP - Eric Lauer - 1-17 W-L with a 4.37 ERA and 1.37 WHIP
SP - Garrett Hill - 1-13 W-L with a 5.01 ERA and 1.87 WHIP
SP - Blayne Enlow - 2-16 W-L with a 7.83 ERA and 1.72 WHIP
SP - Tyler Phillips - 1-14 W-L with a 6.47 ERA and 1.85 WHIP
SP - Brendan Beck - 6-13 W-L with a 4.31 ERA and 1.26 WHIP
SP - Carlos Vargas - 2-1 W-L with a 5.60 ERA and 1.65 WHIP
RP - Carson Palmquist - 1-0 W-L with a 4.24 ERA and 1.39 WHIP
RP - Ronan Kopp - 1-2 W-L with a 3.26 ERA and 1.33 WHIP
RP - Blake Burkhalter - 2-3 W-L with a 7.70 ERA and 2.16 WHIP
RP - Matt Cronin - 3-3 W-L with a 3.58 ERA and 1.29 WHIP
SU - Holden Powell - 0-1 W-L with a 9.58 ERA and 1.74 WHIP
SU - Zach Brzycky - 1-0 W-L with a 7.47 ERA and 1.91 WHIP
CL - Nathan Lavender - 2-4 W-L with a 2.88 ERA and 1.40 WHIP (12 Saves)

As you can see, our stats are HORRENDOUS. There is very little to be excited about with this group. Batting wise, everyone is in the low .200s with the exception of Haydn McGreary, but he has only gotten about 50 at bats this season. Pitching wise, there are a few decent looking guys. Brendan Beck is our best starter. Ronan Kopp and Matt Cronin are doing a pretty decent out of the pen. Our closer, Nathan Lavender has done a good job as our closer but he hasn't gotten the chances we need him to get.

Now a quick prospect look:

LF - Jacob Melton - 73 OVR - B potential - AAA - Hitting .278 with 14 HRs and 48 RBIs.
1B - Joey Loperfido - 67 OVR - B potential - AAA - Hitting .243 with 10 HRs and 46 RBIs
RF - Luis Baez - 71 OVR - B potential - AA - Hitting .253 with 8 HRs and 41 RBIs
SS - Fernando Reyes - 75 OVR - B Potential - AA - Hitting .267 with 7 HRs and 43 RBIs
3B - Zach Dezenzo - 65 OVR - B potential - AA - Hitting .246 with 8 HRs and 31 RBIs

SP - Spencer Arrighetti - 72 OVR - B potential - AAA - 8-7 W-L with a 3.73 ERA and 1.35 WHIP


Each one of these guys could come up to the MLB level and probably contribute right away, but considering my entire roster is made up of Rule 5 Draft picks, I am just going to keep them down in the minors until the September Call Ups, then the rest of the guys will be able to fight for a position in Spring Training next season.

As far as the draft goes, it was a tough one for us. Having the #29 pick put us behind early. The only person we really ended up with that could contribute to our MLB roster in a few years is a Starting Pitcher named Victor Ramirez. he is a 69 OVR with B potential. His per 9s look really good, with the exception of H/9 where he is a whopping 20. Our first round pick was an injured pitcher.

We will be finishing up this season soon, and then the real improvements will begin.

Cardinals win 3 games of 4 game series with Nationals

The Cardinals (50-42) won 3 games of a 4 game series with the Nationals over the weekend, and Monday, in Washington. The Cardinals now find themselves with a 1/2 game lead over the Brewers in the NL Central.

The Cardinals won Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but were unable to complete the sweep with a Monday win ending their winning streak at 9 games. Kyle Gibson was the losing pitcher Monday, as he struggled giving up 3 homeruns in the 5+ innings he worked. That coupled with the Cardinals just couldn't get the bats going and Monday reminded you of the 2+ months prior to this winning streak.

Matthew Liberatore was strong on Friday going 7 innings with 10 strikeouts and giving up a single run on just 4 hits. Jack Flaherty had his second straight quality start on Saturday throwing 6 innings with 2 runs on 6 hits and striking out 5. Sonny Gray was brilliant Sunday going just 6 innings but he struck out 12 of the 18 outs he recorded. Gray was pulled after reaching 102 pitches after 6.

At the dish the Cardinals, except for Monday, swung the bats well. Paul Goldschmidt continues to go right as does Nolan Gorman. Harrison Bader had a 4 hit series in 3 games, and Lars Nootbaar has solidfied his starting over Tyler O'Neill in left as he had a 6 hit series in 4 games.

The Cardinals will now head home to face the Royals for a brief 2 game series on Tuesday and Wednesday before hosting the Cubs for a 3 game series over the weekend to end the first half of the season.

Tommy Edman to 10 day IL with groin pull

Tommy Edman was placed on the 10 day IL after Friday's game with a groin pull. Edman injured himself in the 4th inning running out a groundball. Doesn't appear to be anything overly serious as Edman is expected back after the break.

Braves With a Clean Sweep Over Washington

August 23-24, 2024

Things went as expected in a series between one of the best teams and baseball and one of the worst, as the Atlanta Braves swept the Washington Nationals over the week.

The opener was a 3-2 win for Atlanta that was headlined by two doubles from Marcell Ozuna that knocked in the game winning run in the ninth inning and a sterling performance from Bryce Elder (7 IP, 2 ER). Reynaldo Lopez went two clean innings out of the pen. Jarred Kelenic also produced two hits and Ronald Acuna also hit a double.

The second game ended with the same score as the first, a 3-2 win for Atlanta. Things got off to a fast start as Ronald Acuna went deep in the first inning off of Josiah Gray. Spencer Strider threw 6.2 innings and struck out 11 Nationals. Matt Olson and Ozuna hit doubles, while Austin Riley and Jarred Kelenic produced RBI singles. The only blemish was a Joey Gallo two-run homer off of Chris Martin, who has struggled with the long ball since being traded for by the Braves, but Raisel Iglesias produced a clean save.

The Braves scored four runs in the first three innings off of Mackenzie Gore and Washington never recovered. Riley and Ozzie Albies went deep, while Michael Harris got two hits and Acuna scored two runs. Fried got through six innings while giving up two runs and striking out six. Renaldo Lopez gave up a run, but AJ Minter and Iglesias got through the eighth and ninth clean in a 6-3 win.

The Acuna 40-40 watch is now up to 34 homers and 46 stolen bases, as he seems destined to be the first player ever with two such seasons.

Up next for the 92-40 Braves is a three-game set with the Minnesota Twins. At 79-51, the Twins have jumped way out in the AL Central and currently have the second-best record in the AL in total. This is a potential World Series matchup in August, making it one of the more interesting series for Atlanta as they have also officially clinched their seventh straight NL East title with their sweep of Washington.

Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread

So after much thought, I ended up changing my mind and made some call ups.

I ultimately decided to bring up SP Spencer Arrighetti, RP Wander Suero, 2B Pedro Leon, CF Kenedy Corona. This means we had to send some guys through the waivers to move them down (since all of our players came via Rule 5 Draft). We sent down 1B Tyler Locklear, 2B Nick Sogard, SP Blayne Enlow, and RP Holden Powell. All of them went through waivers without a problem (of course, because they have played terrible all year).

For the September Call Ups we brought up LF Jacob Melton and 1B Joey Loperfido.

This carried us to the end of the season.

We finished the year at 43-119. Closest team to us were the Nationals, who were 58-104. Rough year, to say the least.

Here were our player stats:

C - Cole Carrigg - .247 avg with 8 HRs and 36 RBIs
1B - Haydn McGeary - .269 avg with 10 HRs and 32 RBIs
2B - Pedro Leon - .239 avg with 5 HRs and 17 RBIs
3B - Nate Eaton - .218 avg with 5 HRs and 34 RBIs
SS - Michael Helman - .217 avg with 9 HRs and 41 RBIs
LF - Jacob Melton - .181 avg with 5 HRs and 13 RBIs
CF - Kenedy Corona - .215 avg with 3 HRs and 20 RBIs
RF - Roberto Campos - .238 avg with 17 HRs and 64 RBIs
CF - Daniel Mateo - .205 avg with 8 HRs and 36 RBIs
2B - Raynel Delgado - .225 avg with 6 HRs and 32 RBIs
C - Matheu Nelson - .204 avg with 1 HR and 3 RBIs
1B - Joey Loperfido - .216 avg with 1 HR and 6 RBIs


SP - Eric Lauer - 2-22 W-L with 4.05 ERA and 1.33 WHIP
SP - Garrett Hill - 7-16 W-L with 4.16 ERA and 1.68 WHIP
SP - Tyler Phillips - 4-18 W-L with 6.19 ERA and 1.80 WHIP
SP - Spencer Arrighetti - 5-2 W-L with 3.02 ERA and 1.41 WHIP
SP - Brendan Beck - 6-20 W-L with 4.78 ERA and 1.39 WHIP
SP - Carlos Vargas - 3-4 W-L with 4.88 ERA and 1.53 WHIP
RP - Matt Cronin - 4-4 W-L with 4.04 ERA and 1.41 WHIP
RP - Zach Brzycky - 2-1 W-L with 6.85 ERA and 1.84 WHIP
RP - Ronan Kopp - 2-2 W-L with 4.59 ERA and 1.46 WHIP
RP - Carson Palmquist - 1-1 W-L with 3.64 ERA and 1.38 WHIP
RP - Wander Suero - 0-1 W-L with 6.92 ERA and 1.77 WHIP
CP - Nathan Lavender - 23 Saves with 2.90 ERA and 1.36 WHIP

As you can see, the position players we brought up didn't make a huge impact. Pedro Leon wasn't bad. We decided to move on from Tyler Locklear and 1B and give Haydn McGeary the full time job and it paid off. He hit the ball well and gave us some solid power. Catcher Cole Carrigg found his groove a little bit and brought up his average and home runs. And RF Roberto Campos gave us an excellent 17 HRs and 64 RBIs.

The big news at the end of the season, though, was Spencer Arrighetti. He came up to the MLB club and instantly made a difference. He finished with a 5-2 record, which is REALLY good considering how bad our offense was this season. Going into next season he looks to be fighting for the ace pitcher position.

Next up is the offseason. Because of the nature of the "draft only" style, the only way we can make a big impact is if there are some good players in the Rule 5 Draft. So we will see if our team looks any different going into spring training next year.
