Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

2012 Cleveland Indians Franchise - Playoffs
Well after beating the Angels in the AL Division series 3 games to 1, the Tribe's season has come to an end at the hand of the New York Yankees in the ALCS. My starting pitching failed to show up in the ALCS as they did in the division series against the Angels, with the exception of Matt Harrison and the bullpen holding the Yanks to 1 run in Game 2. The Yankee bats came up big when it counted and my Tribe failed to capitalize with men on base throughout the series. My offseason plans are to bring up Chisenhall and start 2013 with him as a starter at 3rd, upgrade 1st base and get rid of Kotchman, and sign/trade for a young speedy CF. Hopefully with a couple of moves and some improvement from our young core of Santana, Kipnis, Cabrera, Tomlin, and Chisenhall, the Tribe will look to make it even further in the 2013 postseason.

2012 MLB Playoffs Summary

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

Okay so I am playing with the Marlins and after spending a few years in last place and letting all my big name free agents go I expected to finish in last place again this year since I entered the year looking like this
Catcher Brett Hayes
1st Base Gaby Sanchez
2nd Base Omar Infante
Shortstop Cliff Pennington
3rd Base Chris Coghlan
Left Field Will Venable
Center Field Emilio Bonifacio
Right Field Mike Stanton
on the bench:
Taylor Green
Bryan Peterson
Some A rated rookie whose name escapes me
Donnie Murphy
An A rated catcher who I drafted last year and has no skills offensively but I needed another catcher.
and I honestly can't even remember most of my starting rotation except I know Ricky Nolasco and Brad Hand were at the top. Anyway at the end of May I was in first place so I decided to trade some C rated pitchers for Todd Frazier. He proceeded to hit 238 with 0 dingers till the all star break when I released him and, seeing I was only 1 game out of first place I decided to sell the farm for Pedro Alvarez, Clayton Kershaw, and Micheal Morse. I will post stats tomorrow.

On the trade deadline I decided to trade my remaining pitching prospects to the Giants for Matt Cain to further fortify my rotation and I ended up winning the world series in seven games! In the last game I was sweating it a bit since i was down 13 to 4 in the bottom of ninth. Fortunately the CPU suffered the worst meltdown I have ever seen by walking the bases loaded then giving up a bases loaded triple to Omar Infante. I then strung together about 4 or 5 doubles and tied the game before they were finally able to end the inning. A solo homer by Ryan Lavernway in the top of tenth put them back in front however I answered in the bottom half with a Mike Stanton double followed by a Gaby Sanchez double. In the top of the eleventh Mike Aviles hit a solo dinger to put them back in front again but in the eleventh I ended things with a walk off two home run homer off the bat of Brett Hayes I then used my massive stockpile of money in the offseason to sign Jay Bruce, Jeremy Hellickson, Buster Posey, and Ike Davis.

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

Boy...

My game against LAA was ripe with personal accomplishments.

In my Yankees Franchise, entering last night at 30-18 (2 games up in the AL East), I set several personal "all-time single game" records in my time with The Show!

1. I won 16-1. My biggest blowout.
2. 16 runs is my highest ever in a single game.
3. I walked 10 times. The most ever for me in any Show iteration.
4. I went 5-6 with A-Rod. My most hits by one player in any game.
5. I drove in 9 RBI with A-Rod. My most ever in a single game.
6. I capped off an 8 game winning streak. My longest ever.

And all this coming two games after my highest single game individual strikeout record (11 with Nova)...

And best of all, Michael Pineda has a...um..hot...symbol???? Yeah!

All is looking good in the digital Bronx!

Here was my first game of June. I am sitting a game out at 28-25.

This game was a ton of fun. I chased Hamals in 4 innings. This is a big series. If I can sweep I will take over first place for the first time in the east. Morrison has been in beast mode for me so far.



Enjoy the box score.

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

I follow up a great offensive game one with a 2-1 loss in game two of my three game set with the Phillies.

Outrageous game. I get 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the top of the ninth on Pabalion (sp?) Logan Morrison hit's a sharp gorund ball to Howard who touches first, fires home to nail Bonifacio in a close play....DP.

Then with Hanely on second Gaby Sanchez hit's a sharp liner to left that is tailing off.....and then it was caught on a diving catch to end the game.

Amazing game!!!! And it was a loss. The Show 12 rules!


Anibal Sanchez was the hard luck loser to fall to 7-3. Currently Anibal is 2nd in the Cy YOung race (early I know) he has really been the ace for this staff through April and May. Logan Morrison is in beast mode so far.


2 games out of first with the rubber match coming up tonight along with full team stats, and top 5's for American and National.

Question: In my Royals franchise, Moustakas and Perez are showing "D" next to their name (think it means designated for assignment). Anyway, whenever I get to the first week,they are put on waivers. WHAT THE EFF, I do not want this to happen, how do I fix it?

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

I got eliminated by the Rockies and the Angels won the WS. I did all the offseason stuff but when I go to check my roster it just freezes now...hmm

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

This is my first post here. Long time lurker, and decided to join this awesome site.

Anyway, I am a huge White Sox and Cardinals fan. I want to make this years franchise interesting though and take a different team. Any suggestions?

I am thinking maybe the A's, Padres, Dbacks, Mariners, Rockies, or Orioles? I am not sure yet. Also, I just got the game yesterday, and downloaded the patch first thing. Should I have any franchise freezing issues? Thanks!

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

Mets update:

holy smokes! this game is much more enjoyable once it all clicks. it took a lot of losing but i've finally been able to play without losing constantly. i've won 6 of 8 and remain in the hunt for a playoff spot. I am actually hitting and putting together rallies. that is, when i don't get too aggressive.

My entire outfield is hitting: Torress, Nieuwenhuis and Duda (hitting over .340!) are all very consistent. even Bay has produced.

Ike went thru an 0 for 18 slump (realistic lol) and Wright is slowly coming around. Murph is finally over the mendoza line. Tejada is always around .280/290.

I just won a *19 inning* game at Toronto. man it was exhausting. Wright had a 2 out PH HR which started the marathon.

i'll have some pitching updates next time.

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

After a 16-8 start with the Braves, I was starting to think it was time to move up a level. I've now lost four straight to fall out of first.

I love this game.

Re: 2012 Franchise Progress Thread

Well I suppose I will start posting for my new franchise (the astros). Rebuilding is obviously the beginning goal and for the 1st year of that process I will be simming the season and making some deals.

Step 1: Tear apart the team because there isn't much to work with.

I instantly traded old expensive players (Wandy, Lee, etc).

Biggest acquisition for the first season would be Harper (I had to get a franchise player to base everything around :wink. He came at a cost of Wandy, Lee, and my best prospect. Next up I acquired Teherhan from the braves, another A prospect 20 year old pitcher, and an A rated 3rd baseman.

Current state of the team. Lots of young talent who hopefully will pan out over the next several seasons. Pitching staff will be the strongest aspect of the team with 3 A rated guys 23 or younger and a couple average veterans to help me through the rough times.

Soon to enter free agency so hopefully I can land somebody helpful and lock down the young guys into long contracts . I'll update part way into the second season and letcha know how things are panning out.
