Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

21-21 with the Mariners, playing only games started by King Felix and Pineda. Hernandez is 5-2 on the year with a 1.80 ERA. In his last start, he lost a 1-0 decision.

Pineda is off to a 1-6 start. His last outing was encouraging, which is a good sign because his prior four starts were really bad. I am pitching on All-Star using Analog controls.

My offense has been MIA the past few games. I am hitting on Veteran with Analog controls. Only mustered two hits in that 1-0 loss. We are last in the majors in home runs and 26th in runs scored ... So pretty realistic.

We are 4 games behind Oakland for the division lead, tied with the Angels for second place. Texas is just a game behind us, so only 5 games separate first and last in the division.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Finally starting off on a good note. It's officially the first series of May. My Braves vs. the Cards. Record at the start of the series was 8-17.

I took game 1 in extra innings 3-2. Freeman was the hero. His only hit was the GW HR blast to right ctr field.

Game 2 went to the Cards 6-2. I was out dueled by Chris Carpenter. Pujols finally hit a HR in that game.

Game 3 I won 6-1. Lowe finally won his first game. Hurling 8 strong innings, K 4, BB 1, on 89 pitches.

I am ready to take on the Brew Crew for a 4 game set at the "TED".
My record is at 10-18.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Started a Cards franchise a while back instead of a Twins one like I was going to. I am at the July 15th mark and thought I would sit and do a little evaluation of the season so far. The Cards are in a battle with the Reds with only a 2 game lead in the Central. Lost game one of a three game series with the Reds and am in danger of losing ground to them with these head to head matchups. Pujols is very much in the running for a Triple Crown this year and currently third in the running for the NL MVP. The Cards are 59-34 and here are the stats....

I noticed you traded Jaime Garcia...is that how you picked up Soriano?

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Well, my series vs. the Yanks was a mess. I dropped 2 of 3 (i did the same at Yankee stadium).

First game I lost 3-1, second game was alot closer then it seemed 8-4 win. The last game was a frustrating 7-6 loss. Twice I had the lead and coughed it up, Gee just did not have it.

It was a wasted oppurtunity, as the Phillies got destroyed by the Blue Jays all 3 games. I did gain a game in the standings, and only trail the Phils by a game.

When i reach the all-star break, I shall post some stats. Once the trade deadline approaches, I am going to get rid of the parts I do not want/like on my roster. Messing with my roster is one of my favorite parts of the franchise, so I will proabably do a few trades at once. Doing lots of lineup/rotation/call-ups/demotions can get a bit time consuming.

The strangest part of my season so far is Bill Hall. I traded for him because his versatility is a huge plus (i love having at least one of those types on my team, blame it on Joe McEwing). He ended up winning the second base job. good stuff.

Yes, gave away Garcia and Eduardo Sanchez for Soriano

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

This is why I love this game ...

I had a team BA of .295 entering my series with the Dodgers. Started to think that I had finally figured out hitting. But in the four-game series, I batted .167 as a team. Dodgers pitching just owned me. Somehow, I managed a split. I'm 10-10 after 20 games.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

In a game which I hit a homer with Braun, Kotteras, and Nyjer Morgan...I eventually lose 11-7. :/
Tyler Colvin hit two bombs, Soriano and Soto each had one and Big Z stayed in until the 7th (despite 5 ER) and the Cubs take game one.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Just got done with a three game series with Cincy.......got swept. First two games I just couldnt get anything going offensively. In the third game I had a shutout and 2 run lead going into the bottom of the eight with McClellan pitching. Gave up two base hits and at that point I really should have taken McClellan out, but I had two outs and I really wanted to get him the shutout.......bad decision. Brandon Phillips hit a three run homer and the closer shut me down in the top of the ninth. That loss has taken a lot out of my team lol. Thinking about dealing Berkman away to get some better speed in the outfield and improve my SS position. Any ideas?

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

I just completed a trade in my Braves franchise and brought two old faces back to the ATL. I traded SP D. Lowe and CF McClouth to the Yankees for CF Andruw Jones and SP Millwood. Getting rid of Lowe saves me over $30 Mil in the next 2 yrs. Lowe was not getting run support. He had an ERA of 2.61, 1-4 WL record in 6 starts. Mcclouth was just not getting it done.

My record is 10-21. Its May and we have plenty to swing things around.....

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Made a trade in my Cards franchise sending away Carpenter and acquiring Reyes from the Mets. Brought up Shelby Miller from AAA and put him in the rotation. First game pitched: 6.0 IP 5H 0R 0E 1BB 5SO 0.00ERA. Thought it was a pretty successful debut.

**decga** · 06-19-2011, 09:33 PM

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Andruw had a grande ole return. He accounted for my only run. Which was a solo 410 ft HR to CF. It gave me the 1-0 victory over the Brewers. SP Hanson was dominating 3K on 79 pitches in 7 inn. I moved to 4-2 on the year. He is one of leading All Star getter for pitchers.

I need another win to salvage a split of the 4 game set.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

Drew 4 consecutive walks in the 9th vs. N. Feliz in Arlington. Ended up losing 7-5 on a Bogusevic flyout with the bases loaded...

The CPU cheated me 3 times in the 5th inning w/ inappropriate fielding animations causing my player to miss the ball completely. 5 runs came across that inning.

Oh well.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

I've had a pretty fun sequence of games, with my White Sox going 4 - 3 over the course of seven games. Wanted to pick it back up last night after Game of Thrones, but was just too tired to concentrate. It's a long read, but man I've had a lot fun and sweaty palms, and almost thrown the controller on multiple occasions.

Started with an inter-league series at Arizona. First game went badly. Game is pretty close for the duration. We arrived at the 4 (AZ) - 2 (CH) score by the third inning and stayed there. Until the bottom of the 7th when it looks like I am going to make some in roads, Adam Dunn steps up, takes a ball, and then crushes a high fastball down the right field line. But, if you check the BUGS thread on one of the more recent pages, I've linked a video of the play...somehow the CPU botched the call. It hits the foul pole, umpires start their "circle the bases" motion to indicate fair, and right as Dunn hits first base, he appears back in the batter's box to continue the at bat with a 1 - 1 count. I'm so distracted, I eventually strike out and don't manage to get another runner on. Final score 4 - 2.

Next game, I explode for 9 runs in the 1st inning (no home runs, just some walks, a couple of steals, and well timed hits in succession). But, I guess I shouldn't have taken my foot off the gas...eventually it became a save situation for my closer, who finished the game with runners on 1st and 2nd. I won 13-11.

Arizona takes the next game...don't remember the specifics. But, I drop the series 1 - 2.

Back home in Chicago to play against my foes from the north side of the city (Cubs). Jake Peavy on the mound, hoping to turn my recent bad luck around. Gives up 2 first inning runs. Then he becomes unhittable with 15 Ks until I finally took him out in the 9th at 130 pitches, but over the course of the game I am having trouble scoring, and we're stuck on 2 runs a piece until I manufacture a run in the 8th (walk, bunt, RBI single). I win 3 - 2.

Edwin Jackson follows Peavy with a 13 K performance, which I win easily.

Gavin Floyd takes the mound to close the series. Takes a no-hitter into the 6th against Ryan Dempster. Unfortunately, I can't connect with anything Dempster is throwing. Cubs break through in the 6th for 4 runs, and the possible no hitter turns into a 7-2 loss in which I committed 5 errors (two of which I don't take responsibility for, but at least I got the Stone Hands trophy).

Finish the series 2 - 1, and 3 - 3 over the last 6.

Next game at home against the Nationals. Give up 3 second inning runs (RBI double, followed by 2-run HR to Rick Ankiel). I then realize that when I was adjusting my line up to start the game, I placed my 3rd baseman at 2nd, and that's why he can't get to anything - no range. Make the defensive switch, and now I'm playing better. The damage is done, but I carry on.

Quentin homers in bottom of 2nd to close it to 3 - 1. Dunn homers in 4th, now it's 3 - 2.

Another National homer 4 - 2.

Dunn again in 7th 4 - 3. Quentin again in the 7th 4 - 4.

Top of the 9th, Ankiel jacks another one just out of the reach of Alex Rios in the deepest part of centerfield. Nats up 5 - 4.

Bottom 9. Mark Teahen doubles to start the inning. Juan Pierre is up, and I think all I have to do is make contact, and Teahen is at 3rd for Koenerko to hit a sac fly, and we go to extra innings. But, Pierre strikes out. Up comes Koenerko. Normally a lot of confidence in him, but his average has dropped from .340 to .305 during an extended cold streak, and he was 0 for his last 8 coming to the plate. First pitch swinging, 2-run walk off HR to snap the cold streak. I win 6 - 5.

Re: MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

I lost the series finale vs. the Brewers: Brewers won the series 3-1.
My Braves just cant keep the offense going. I am not dumping or restarting my franchise over. My record seat at 11-22, last place 9GB. I am about to open a 3 game series vs. the Phils. So time to make up some ground hopefully
