No, fantasy draft franchise. But Halladay and Scherzer were shelled on the mound and Bautista and Granderson did nada at the plate.

It appears that way.

Dodgers went on to sweep the Twins and win the world series. First trade of the off-season sends Bourne and a 3rd base prospect to the Rockies for Pablo Sandoval and a player to be named later (can't recall his name). Jackie Bradley will now take over CF as an everyday player. Very excited to get the panda.

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

Plan on restarting my Astros franchise tonight. Haven't played in a while so I'm gonna play a few spring training games to get back into the flow of things. I am also going to try analog hitting, I usually use timing. I will update after I get started later.

Opened the Nats 2014 season last night with a thrilling 5-4 win over the Dodgers. The Nats struck first on a solo shot by Pablo Sandoval but later trailed 3-1 as Bud Norris was cruising for LA.

The Nats later tied it in the 7th when Brandon Moss plated two runs with a two out double over the head of the RF. He was promptly driven in by a long single from Evan Gattis to put the Nats up 4-3.

After Matt Thornton set the Dodgers down in order, we fast forward to the top of the 9th. My rookie closer who I can't even recall his name blew the lead giving up a double and a base hit after getting the first out. But tied at 4 in the bottom of the 9th, newly acquired FA Chase Utley picked up his third hit of the game. Utley took a 2-1 slider into the first row in right center for the walk off and the Nats win!

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

Played my first spring training game last night and didn't do so well. Got my first hit in the 6th but I am trying analog hitting for the first time so I was a little inexperienced at hitting but I am getting used to it. I am using the OSFM hybrid 2.2 roster and I made a few slight adjustments but I really like the young talent on this team. Most need to work on hitting attributes but a lot of the players are decent fielders. I will play a few more spring training games today and will be starting the regular season so.

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

Started up a franchise with the Cubbies to see Wrigley on a regular basis, and for being such lovable losers, they have some sweet players.

I'm not sure if it's just me, but when Soriano jacks one, it doesn't just go out of the park; it goes all the way to the moon and then comes down. I hit a 425 footer or so and it went to that auto cut-scened where you're sure it's either a really deep double or a HR and what amazed me was how friggin' high the ball went.

If he lined that one it would have gone 475, lol.

Rizzo also seems to tag the ball pretty hard on a regular basis. Both he and Soriano have 2 HR in 5 games.

I also really like the slick-fielding combination at SS and 2B with Castro and Barney.

Pretty fun team. We'll see if we can keep them from their chronic losing ways...

Just got to the All-Star break in my Cubs/Astros franchise. Soriano was a beast for me, he had a ridiculous line of .300/.375/.630 or so with 28 HR's when I traded him for prospects. I still used him in the HR derby and absolutely mashed, hitting 40 homers in just the first round.

I agree, when Soriano gets ahold of one it can go for a very long distance.

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

So me and my brother decided to start a franchise together. We both picked our favorite teams. I'm the twins and he is the red Sox. First game against each other. I hit a homerun in the 2nd to take a 1-0 lead. Pitching I'm destroying his batters with pelfrey. In the 5 th I hit back to back hrs and that's where his frustration got the best of him. He hit my next better in the head injuring him. We exchanged some words that I'm not going to repeat on here lol. Next time I'm pitching I hit his batter In the shoulder as pay back. Didn't even realize that I had a perfect game going till that. So I gave up a chance at a perfect game to get pay back for a teammate lol lost no hitter I'm the 9th with 2 outs

JMP, you made me look up Soriano's career stats and I was surprised to see he is almost at the 400 club. I had lost track of him when he went to Chicago, but yeah he can jack them.

Second season of my Bucco's franchise and just had Taylor Jungman throw my first ever no hitter in a show game. ****ty part is, i didnt throw a single pitch. Just wanted to get a quick game in, so i only hit and let cpu handle the pitching.

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

Baltimore Orioles Season 1 Update

The first half is in the book, and was a ugly one for the O's pitching staff Gonzalez has looked to turn the corner his last 2 starters lower his ERA to a 4.86, Jason Hammel (3-4, 5.70 ERA) has been dreadful, Tsuyoshi Wada (4-3, 5.49) who was taken out of the rotation and put in the bullpen. Chen (10.7, 2.97 ERA) was the star of the group and will look to continue his AS 1st half, and Jake Arrieta (3-7, 3.26) hasn't gotten run support. The bullpen has been steller, Luis Ayala is 3-2 1.77 ERA, Troy Patton is 7-2 3.35 ERA.

Adam Jones (.297, 113 H, 22 HR, 76 RBI) & Chris Davis (.293, 92 H, 22 HR, 65 RBI) have carried this season while Nick Markakis (missed 52 games) was placed on the DL. Brian Roberts has filled in nicely at the lead off with 74 hits in his DH role, Manny Macado (.279, 87 H, 10 HR, 33 RBI) who was batting .248 before his June break out and now is picking things up and will look to keep it going in the 3 hole now with Markakis back.

We're definitely looking for a starting pitcher help, may bring up Dylan Bundy (4-0 2.31 ERA) from Double-A. We could look for a rent a player at 2nd base or Left field at the trade deadline.

Re: 2013 Franchise/Season Progress Thread

Just finished the craziest game I've ever played on the Show. My 2022 Marlins were taking on the San Francisco Giants in Game 7 of the NLCS. Mind you, we had to win Game 6 (6-4) to even be in this game. So I take a 2-1 lead into the 9th. I strike out Elvis Andrus for out number one. Then their clean up guy hits a solo home run to tie the game up. At this point, I'm pissed since I was only two outs from the World Series. The game goes into extra innings and no team scores in the 10th. In the top of the 11th, the Giants get 2 runs off my reliever. My first two guys up to bat strike out leaving me one out from elimination. I pinch hit with my backup outfielder (who I've barely used all year) for the pitcher. With an 0-2 count, I smack a cutter right back at their pitcher, it bounces off his leg, and I manage to make it to first safe. Then Mason Williams (my leadoff guy) with a full count hits a two run home run that barely gets over the right field wall to tie the game up. The score is 4-4 at this point. After giving up leadoff base hits in the 12th and 13th innings, I wind up striking out the next batter and then grounding the follower hitters into double plays. In the bottom of the 13th, with one out I hit the walk off home run to win the NLCS! That game was unbelievable. I don't think I could repeat that if I tried 100 times.
