Re: MLB The Show 24 Franchise Mode Discussion Thread
Don’t typically post my franchise on here, but I just had the most exciting game that I’ve had on The Show since probably 2020. Cold April Sunday night in Cleveland. The Guardians had snapped my(Yankees) 8 game winning streak the game before. Sole possession of first place in the AL East was on the line(only April 14th but still) Had been in a 3 way tie with the Orioles and Rays, and both had already lost their games. Also I haven’t lost a series in the young season, so that was also on the line. I sent Garrett Cole to the mound, the Guardians sent Shane Bieber. I thought I would be able to get to him because he started the season 0-3 with a 6.2 ERA. But, he brought his A game. Both starters got through 7 with only 1 run a piece. The bullpens held the 1 run scores through the 9th. In the bottom of the 9th the Guardians managed to get runners on the corners with only 1 out. I thought for sure it would be a walk off. But a line out to short and a clutch K sent us to extras. First batter for the Yanks in extras was Alex Verdugo. He hit a fly out to deep center to advance the extra inning runner to third. Austin Wells followed with a sac fly to put us ahead 2-1. On to the bottom, Clay Holmes on to close it out. First batter up hit a grounder to advance the extra inning runner to third. I walked Josh Naylor because he had absolutely destroyed me this series. Next up Jose Ramirez. Got a quick strike one, then a ball. I then threw 3 straight pitches in the zone with no swings, all called balls. Bases loaded with 1 only one gone. Next batter pops up to the catcher. 2 gone. Then a grounder straight to Volpe, holy crap I’m going to get out of it with a win. But Volpe bobbles it for his second error of the game. Run scores. Tied 2-2. Next batter strikes out. On to the 11th. A struggling DJ Lemahieu grounds to second to move the runner to third. Soto singles to bring him home. Yanks up 3-2. On to the bottom of the 11th with that score. Clay Holmes on for his second inning. A ground out to second moves the runner up to third. 1 gone. Shallow pop to short. 2 gone. Ground out to third and ball game. Yankees win 3-2. I’m now a believer in the extra inning runner rule. I had a great time with that one. Sorry for the long post.
