Re: Armor & Sword & Marino's MLB The Show 17 Timed/Classic Simulation All-Star Slider
Good Lord my bullpen needs help, ratings wise they aren't terrible but they consistently blow leads whenever possible. It wasn't this bad until I went to HOF pitching and now it's like rolling one dumpster fire after another out there....
Yovani Gallardo - 58.0 IP, 5.74 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 37 K's, 17 BB's
Steve Cishek - 26.2 IP, 5.40 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 18 K's, 13 BB's
Evan Scribner - 34.1 IP, 3.15 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 24 K's, 8 BB's
Marc Rzepczynski - 29.2 IP, 3.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 24 K's, 10 BB's
Ryan Cook - 24.1 IP, 2.59 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 27 K's, 7 BB's
Nick Vincent - 28.1 IP, 5.40 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 24 K's, 10 BB's
Edwin Diaz - 21.0 IP, 2.14 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 27 K's, 4 BB's
I've got a few guys who are doing well but Gallardo, Cishek and Vincent are complete trash whenever they get a chance to pitch. Last game was a perfect example, I'm down 3-2 at Texas, Smyly is on fumes so I bring in Vincent in the 6th who proceeds to give up 3 runs to make it 6-2. I try a comeback with 2 outs in the 9th scoring 2 off a Dyson triple but lose 6-4. I'm now 7-8 for the month of June after going 14-14 in the month of May, things are not looking good at all. My overall record sits at 38-31 but I'm 4 games back of the Angels who have been red hot this month going 12-3. I can already see my team falling apart, the bullpen has been miserable most nights and I'm having to start 2 rookies in the rotation, such a recipe for disaster lol.
On another note I did have Cleveland offer me Boone Logan for a minor league SP with C potential. I passed on it for now as it seems a little pointless for Cleveland to trade their second best reliever while they are 38-29 and leading their division by 5 games over Minnesota. I am eyeing Seigrest in St Louis though, with one year left on his deal he would be a rental, but St Louis is sitting at 29-38, 12 games back in the division currently. I figure if I can get Seigrest maybe a bullpen of Seigrest, Cook, Rzepczynski, Scribner and Vincent I might be able to make it work while hoping Vincent works out his **** somehow. Cishek is as good as gone, I can't pitch with him and his funky delivery screws me up everytime.
Been fun, albeit disappointing, struggle as of late and I just hope my team can wake up out of their funk before it's too late and the playoffs are out of reach.
EDIT - If I can find a silver lining in the dark cloud that is the month of June I'll have Robinson Cano back anyday now and Nelson Cruz within a week. That should really help my offense especially if Cruz comes back and picks up right where he left off as he was the best player in the league before going down with an injury (45/120, .375-.449-.750, 13 HR's, 39 RBI's, 26 Runs, 6 2B's). To put that into perspective Cruz is 12th in the AL in RBI's and 15th in HR's and he missed 2 months of the season.
