SS drafted by... the St. Louis Cardinals. Hoping for a trade in the near future, obviously.

They are VERY thin at SS/2B. Called up after one game with them to the AAA. So if you want a shot at the bigs, STL is the right place for that POS.

Looking forward to playing more with my SP tonight. What pitches do you pitchers use? Also, Mods, could we get this a sticky?

I like to use a good mix of heat and junk. I usually start off with a 4sfb and a 2sfb, slider, change, then a curve or some other junk pitch (splitter, sinker etc). max out velocity on fastballs and work on break/control for other pitches. Make sure you pay attention to your /9 stats as well.

Playing 1B/IF got drafted by the Cubs.

2nd game hit a homerun to left field.

Back for 2012 is my RTTS guy who's name is Franchise Money. He was drafted by the Padres to man the hot corner. Through maybe 10 games he's hitting about .290 with one hr and 5 rbi. He should have 2 hrs but he was robbed of one.

Made a right fielder and was drafted by the Royals.

Smashed a 3-run homer in my player's 2nd at-bat in his first game!

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I made a First Baseman and was drafted by the Rays. I'm having a fairly good season with the Montgomery Biscuits in AA. My batting average is right around .350, but I've only got 1 RBI in 12 games. They batted me 7th, but now I've moved up to 5th in the order. I just keep having the horrible luck of no one being on base when I'm up to bat. I'm leading the team with 4 doubles, and I've already struck out 8 times and only been walked once. I've been trying to make opposing pitchers work to get me out, not just violently swing at every pitch like I did at the beginning.

Something I noticed, curious to see if anyone else has seen this. I was having a really bad game. I was 0-for-2 with 2 K's, and I was at the plate for my 3rd appearance. I dug in with an 0-2 count, and right before the pitcher threw the ball I heard one of the opposing fans yell "He'll swing at anything, just throw it!" or something along those lines. After hearing that I rattled myself a little bit and swung way early for an embarrassing strikeout. I was frustrated, but at the same time it felt incredibly realistic. Sorry for the wall-o-text, lol.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

Are any other pitchers getting hitting goals? Pretty annoying to be told I failed my goals when I didn't hit .300 with my pitcher.

Made a left-handed 1B that got drafted by Arizona.

Made a SS that got drafted by the Dodgers.

I'm pretty new to the game so my 1B isn't doing that great, but has improved a lot as the season's progressed.

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

I'm 2B got drafted by the twins, my first year I was stuck on AA while hitting .347 with 43 HRs and 102 Rbis, I was called up to AAA sometime in September. During the offseason I was traded to the Phillies. Didn't get an invite to Spring Training so I'm still stuck in AAA so far in my second year

Re: MLB 12 The Show: Road to the Show Thread

started with the d-backs AA as a 3b, then got traded just after the all star break to the white-sox, i didnt approve of the trade , i had a great 1st year but a disastrous start of the 2nd year with the charlotte knights.

[the_future420]

Created a 2B and was drafted by the Astros. My guy started off pretty slow the first few games but lately he's been on a tear. Got a 12 game hitting streak going and he's hitting around .375 for the season about 20 games in. My guy has no power, but he sprays the ball all around.

Fielding and baserunning however are a whole different story. I've already had a couple of errors as well as throw to the wrong base a few times when I was adjusting to the fielder relative buttons for bases. Been picked off base a couple times and I'm 4/10 on stealing attempts. Thinking I might try to move my guy to the outfield soon if things don't turnaround.
