Re: MLB 09 "Road To The Show" thread

lol i hate my entire RTTS infield which consists of adrian gonzalez at first, pedroia at 2nd, hanley ramirez at short, and adrian beltre at 3rd. im 8 seasons (including minors) into my career currently with the red sox and they put together this fantastic team to back me up and they consistantly let ground balls past them. though we lead the league with least # of errors, they seem to have butter fingers when im on the mound.

it doesnt bother me that much though tbh.

i know what you mean by that. like i swear its like im the only one to do something right when im the pitcher. my team barely gives me run support but in other games they'll post 5,6, or 7 runs. but when its me its 1 or 2. its tough work. especially since im in my first full major league season and im already their ace.
im the nats btw.

Didn't want to hit over .300 my first year but nearly max speed will get you a lot of cheapies. Finished second in ROTY voting behind some scrub 1B who I assume only got it because he had 20 more RBI than me. Bleh.

Signed a 5 year/$25 million contract during the offseason to take me up to free agency. Too bad the Mariners are terrible (72-90, last in team ERA).

Re: MLB 09 "Road To The Show" thread

I've basically been meeting goals (1 out of 3), keeping stats from falling, and pumping speed.

Sounds like a good plan. Keep posted on how ur SS does.

Do the pitchers in here actually pitch what the catcher tells you to?

Re: MLB 09 "Road To The Show" thread

About 50/50 for me. Having pitched irl for a while I strongly disagree with a lot of what the catcher calls (NO I WON'T THROW 8 FASTBALLS IN A ROW YOU STUPID GAME!).

On a side note, my 1B just started year 2 as the starter for the Pirates! Batted .381 in AA with 37 doubles, 14 homers, and 82 RBIs, then had a great spring. My first Major League AB was a 1 pitch homer off Yovani Gallardo

Re: MLB 09 "Road To The Show" thread

Question about pitch clutch:

Is pitch clutch supposed to help you with runners in RISP, or just simulated games? I was thinking it was the former, but I'm not sure raising clutch necessarily makes me that much better or worse with RISP. On the contrary, when I raise pitch clutch, I get very good ERA stats if I simulate. Also, in the training mode it mentions "pitch a simulated game" with the primary attribute as clutch.

Since the patch killed my Rick Vaughn file , I started up a new one as Kenny Powers.









I know it's not the greatest version of Powers but since they have no option for a mullet, this is the best I could do.






Stats to my last game: Had a no hitter w/ 1 out in the 9th only to blow it!
