TNK MLB 21 Sliders

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

I heard Ridin talk about these sliders in one of his streams so I thought I'd give them a shot. First time plugging sliders in a franchise and I have to say it's been a very welcoming challenge. I normally play on all star so it took a few bp sessions to adjust. IMO it's played very realistic especially on the fielding side. I do the whole play 1 game sim the next 5 games franchise and I'm 2-4 in played games with the Pirates. So I'm pleased so far!

I am gonna try to play every single game.....follow along as I always post my results

Not a knock on other slider makers, but I feel it's important to show my results in detail. I don't understand how you can post sliders and never share your results and just say "trust me this works"....it's personal preference, again....not a shot at other slider makers because I know guys like Armor & Sword, Mike Lowe, etc do awesome work too

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

Are you playing every pitch of every game? If so have you seen many injuries for your team? I know in previous years we have had to play with injuries up to 10. Don’t want to go months without an injury if you’re not seeing any.

I'm playing every pitch, only two games in but played around 17 or 18 test games with the Mets and I had injuries happen....for testing I turned the injury off as I wasn't worried about long term authenticity at the time

I do adjust injuries down to 1 for when I sim the CPU teams games, then adjust it to 6 for when I play games

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

Been using these for a few games now and overall I am liking them, they play pretty well. Wasn’t sure about the fielders speed at first but I feel completely differently on that now it’s kind of beautiful to be honest.

I do have one question however. If I feel the average hits per game are too high for both user and cpu, what would be better to adjust, contact or timing?

I still need to play several more games before possibly adjusting to test further.

Play more games before adjusting.....if you need to bring down hits (but power numbers are good) - just drop contact by 1, then timing by 1 after a few games of more testing

Be aware that less contact and timing will eventually start to effect power too....be very careful of slideritis where you end up causing two other problems while trying to fix one

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

My recaps are going to be shortened a bit and I as I want to spend more time playing games and less time typing about them like a sports reporter

I enjoy doing the recaps, but it's time consuming to constantly pause the game. I'm going to continue posting recaps, box scores and highlights from each game....but it will be more like:


Recaps - they will be shorter / condensed / less detail
Box Scores - no change
Highlights - slightly less highlights

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

You're stealing wrong

Preload your steal with L2, then HOLD L1 and release just as the pitcher starts to move.....DO NOT TAKE AN EXTENDED LEAD.....take the normal lead, set the steal and then hold L1 and time your take off

I had same issues last year and then I actually learned HOW TO STEAL

OMG I have been stealing wrong for YEARS. Thanks my dude! So helpful.....

I have been playing more games and it’s definitely leveling out these are great thank you!

Enjoy reading your recaps while I’m at work and can’t play. I do love MLB 21. I wish they would just fix the sweep talk and the series recap. The series recaps will be really cool during the season.

What are your thoughts between 20 and 21?

Yup.....every time I think hitting might be too easy, I get shut down or go cold

Every time I think pitching is too hard, I throw a gem or get solid pitching

Every time I think pitching is getting too easy, the CPU explodes

That's why I always say....keep playing and don't make adjustments on a whim

Couldn’t agree more, I always try to make sure a run a solid set of games as a base and try to pay attention to averages per games compared to real life averages. These are pretty spot on, super enjoyable and man I’ve grown to love the fielding lol

TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #3 of the season

Baltimore Orioles (0-2) @ Boston Red Sox (2-0)
Pitching Matchup - Bruce Zimmerman vs Garrett Richards

The Orioles threatened with two men on in the top of the 1st but Richards would escape as Santander gave the ball a ride to deep right where Renfroe would make the catch on the warning track. The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the 3rd when Xander Bogaerts came up with the bases loaded and hammered a ball off the green monster for a RBI double to drive in a pair and give Boston a 2-0 lead. Bruce Zimmerman was struggling with command and the Red Sox would put two men on with nobody out in the bottom of the 4th and Kike Hernandez would hammer a ball high and deep on a line to LF and the ball would just clear the green monster for a 3-run HR to open up a 5-0 lead for Boston. Baltimore got on the board with a RBI single from Rio Ruiz in the top of the 5th to make it 5-1 but Richards would limit the damage by getting Cedric Mullins to ground into an inning ending 6-4-3 double play. Boston would get the run back in the bottom of the 5th on a RBI sac fly by Renfroe and we would head to the 6th inning with the Red Sox leading 6-1. The Orioles put their first two men on base in the top of the 7th but Richards would get his 3rd double play ball of the night as Mikael Franco grounded into a 5-4-3 double play for two big outs and Chance Sisco flew out to Renfroe in RF as the Orioles squander another opportunity and the score remained 6-1. Josh Taylor replaced Richards on the mound to begin the top of the 8th and Baltimore would threaten with two men on and 1 out but Taylor would make a perfect pitch with a full count to ring up Trey Mancini looking and DJ Stewart would line out to Devers as Taylor escapes and the score remains 6-1. Shawn Armstrong retired the side in order in the bottom of the 8th to send the game to the 9th inning where Garrett Whitlock came on to pitch for Boston as the Orioles came up trailing 6-1. Whitlock made quick work of Baltimore in the 9th and the Red Sox complete the 3 game sweep with a 6-1 victory

* The Red Sox complete the 3 game sweep with a 6-1 victory and open the season with 3 straight wins over the Orioles

* Kike Hernandez went 1 for 5 with a HR & 3 RBI and has hit 2 HR in his first 3 games as a Red Sox

* Garrett Richards made his first start in a Red Sox uniform and pitched 7 strong innings allowing 1 run on 5 hits with 2 Ks and 3 walks to earn the win

* JD Martinez went 0 for 3 and is the only Red Sox who has yet to record a hit through 3 games

* The Red Sox complete the 3 game sweep to open the season and will remain at home for their next series as the reigning AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays come to Fenway Park for a 3 game series. Nick Pivetta will get the start for Boston in the opener against Michael Wacha for Tampa Bay

HIGHLIGHTS
Xander Bogaerts doubled with the bases loaded to knock in two runs and give Boston a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 3rd inning

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #4 of the season

Tampa Bay Rays (1-2) @ Boston Red Sox (3-0)
Pitching Matchup - Michael Wacha vs Nick Pivetta

The Red Sox jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 1st when JD Martinez busted out of his early slump with a towering fly ball to LF that carried over the green monster for a solo HR. The Rays loaded the bases against Nick Pivetta on 2 hits and a walk with nobody out in the top of the 2nd inning and would score a pair of runs as Francisco Mejia would pickup a RBI as he grounded to Devers at 3rd base and Devers only play was to step on the bag for a force out after a bobble and a run scored to tie the game 1-1 and Willy Adames would drive a ball off the green monster for a two out RBI double to give Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead. The score remained 2-1 through 5 innings as Nick Pivetta wiggled out of a couple jams and Michael Wacha kept the Red Sox lineup off balance and had allowed just 2 hits. The Rays added to their lead in the top of the 6th as Joey Wendle singled then advanced into scoring position on a pitch in the dirt before Kevin Kiermaier delivered a RBI single to CF to extend the lead to 3-1. Wacha retired the side in order in the bottom of the 6th to send the game to the 7th inning with Tampa Bay leading 3-1. Darwinzon Hernandez and Matt Andriese combined on a scoreless top of the 7th as Tampa Bay stranded a runner at 3rd base and Wacha continued to dominate as he sat struck out Bogaerts looking another 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the 7th and we would move to the 8th inning with the Rays leading 3-1. Francisco Mejia doubled off the wall in CF in the top of the 8th but Andriese would get through the inning unscathed as the score remained 3-1. Cody Reed replaced Wacha on the mound to begin the bottom of the 8th and worked around a 2 out single by Marwin Gonzalez as Hunter Renfroe would ground out to end the inning and send the game to the 9th with Tampa Bay leading 3-1. Hirokazu Sawamura came on to pitch the top of the 9th making his MLB debut and Randy Arozarena would welcome him to the major leagues by jumping a first pitch fastball and crushing a solo HR to CF to make it 4-1. The Rays would add another run as Yandy Diaz picked up a RBI with a sac fly to make it a 5-1 game. The Red Sox came up to bat in the bottom of the 9th trailing by 4 runs and Franchy Cordero would take Reed deep for a solo HR leading off the inning to cut the deficit to 5-2. Rays closer Diego Castillo replaced Reed on the mound and would retire Hernandez, Verdugo and Martinez to slam the door and earn the save as the Rays beat the Red Sox 5-2

* The Red Sox suffer their first loss of the season as they fall to the Rays 5-2 and drop to 3-1 on the season

* Michael Wacha was excellent for Tampa Bay keeping the Red Sox hitters off balance over 7 strong innings of work allowing 1 run on 2 hits with 7 Ks

* JD Martinez recorded his first hit of the season on a solo HR in the 1st inning and is hitting just .077 through 4 games. Franchy Cordero aslow ent deep for his 1st HR in a Red Sox unifrom

* Randy Arozarena hit his first HR of the season for Tampa Bay

* The Rays and Red Sox will play the second game of this series tomorrow with Rich Hil set to take the mound for Tampa Bay against Martin Perez for Boston

HIGHLIGHTS
JD Martinez hit a solo HR in the bottom of the 1st to give Boston a 1-0 lead

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #5 of the season

Tampa Bay Rays (2-2) @ Boston Red Sox (3-1)
Pitching Matchup - Rich Hill vs Martin Perez

The Rays got off to a quick start in the top of the 1st with two HR off Martin Perez as Austin meadows hit a 2-run HR to RF and Brandon Lowe hit a solo shot to LF giving the Rays a 3-0 lead. The Red Sox would get a run back right away as Kike Hernandez led off the bottom of the 1st with a rocket over the green monster for his 3rd HR of the season to make it 3-1. Martin Perez continued to struggle on the mound with the home run ball as Randy Arozarena hit a fly ball down the RF line that sliced just inside the Pesky pole for a solo HR in the top of the 2nd and Yandy Diaz launched a solo shot to LF in the top of the 3rd as the Rays had hit 4 home runs to build a 5-1 lead. Perez would find a way to get through 5 innings on the mound with the Red Sox still in the ball game and Hill would be replaced on the mound to begin the bottom of the 5th despite allowing just one hit as he had thrown 93 pitches through 4 innings and walked 6 batters. Josh Fleming came on to pitch for Tampa Bay and Hunter Renfroe would come up with two men on and make it a one run game as he got a fastball over the plate and crushed it 412 feet over the green monster for a 3-run HR to make it a 5-4 ball game. Tampa Bay would add a run on a big two out double by Willy Adames in the top of the 6th against Garrett Whitlock to make it 6-4. Whitlock was masterful in the top of the 7th as he struck out the side and Collin McHugh worked around a double by Devers in the bottom of the 7th to send the game to the 8th inning with the Rays leading 6-4. Adam Ottavino and Peter Fairbanks each retired the side in order in the 8th inning and we would go to the 9th with Tampa Bay still leading 6-4. The Rays would put two men on as Mejia walked and Adames singled to start the top of the 9th but Ottavino came back with back to back Ks of Kiermaier and Arozarena before getting Meadows to fly out to keep it a 6-4 game as we would move to the bottom of the 9th with the Red Sox coming to bat trailing by two runs and Tampa Bay closer Diego Castillo on his way in to try and close it out. The Red Sox went down in order in the bottom of the 9th with Castillo striking out JD Martinez to end the game as the Rays win 6-4

* The Rays beat the Red Sox 6-4 and have taken the first two games of this 3 game series and both teams are now 3-2 on the season

* The Rays hit 4 HR off Martin Perez with Austin Meadows, Brandon Lowe, Randy Arozarena and Yandy Diaz all going deep for Tampa Bay

* Kike Hernandez homered for the 3rd time in 5 games as his Red Sox career is off to a great start. Hunter Renfroe also slugged a 3-run HR for Boston

* The starting pitchers struggled in this one as Martin Perez got knocked around for 4 HR and Rich Hill struggled with command walking 6 batters in 4 innings

* The Red Sox will look to avoid the sweep tomorrow in the series finale as Nathan Eovaldi takes the mound for Boston against Tyler Glasnow for Tampa Bay

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #6 of the season

Tampa Bay Rays (3-2) @ Boston Red Sox (3-2)
Pitching Matchup - Tyler Glasnow vs Nathan Eovaldi

The Rays would open the scoring in the top of the 3rd taking a 2-0 lead on a RBI double from Randy Arozarena and a RBI single by Austin Meadows. Tyler Glasnow was shutting the Red Sox down through 5 innings as Boston had managed just one hit and the game would move to the 6th inning with Tampa Bay leading 2-0. Eovaldi would get through 6 innings on the mound for Boston and Franchy Cordero would draw a 2 out walk in the bottom of the 6th to bring up Alex Verdugo with a man on and Verdugo would hit a deep drive to RF that died just in front of the bullpens as Margot made the catch on the warning track to send the game to the 7th inning with Tampa bay leading 2-0. Josh Taylor pitched a scoreless top of the 7th for Boston and Glasnow continued his dominant outing with another 1-2-3 inning in the bottom half and had a one hitter through 7 innings as the game would go to the 8th inning with the Rays leading 2-0. Matt Andriese recorded two quick outs in the top of the 8th before singles by Margot and Wendle brought up Mike Zunino with two on and two outs. Zunino drove a ball deep to CF but Vedugo would make a nice running catch at the edge of the warning track to end the threat and the score remained 2-0. Glasnow would get Devers to ground out to start the bottom of the 8th but was running out of gas and Rays manager Kevin Cash would come to get Glasnow despite having allowed just one hit. Peter Fairbanks would come in from the pen and make the move by Cash look smart as he recorded 2 outs on 3 Ks as he struck out Vazquez and then Renfroe went down swinging but reached base when the ball got away from Zunino, but Fairbanks would ring up Dalbec for the 3rd out to send the game to the 9th inning with the Rays leading 2-0 and the Red Sox still had just one hit on the night. Matt Andriese would get through the top of the 9th and the Red Sox would come to bat in the bottom of the 9th trailing 2-0 and on the verge of being swept with Diego Castillo coming on to try and record the save for the 3rd day in a row. Castillo issued a lead off walk to Franchy Cordero and the Red Sox would have the lead man on base and bring the tying run to the plate with nobody out. Castillo would slam the door though as Alex Verdugo flew out to RF, Marwin Gonzalez struck out on a nasty slider and the Red Sox were down to their final out. JD Martinez stepped in representing the tying run but Castillo would get him to chase a slider away for the final out as the Red Sox fall to the Rays 2-0

* The Red Sox drop the series finale by a score of 2-0 as the Rays come in to Fenway and sweep the 3 game series

* The Red Sox fall to 3-3 on the season with their 3rd straight loss after winning their first 3 games while the Rays have now won 3 straight and improve to 4-2

* Tyler Glasnow was outstanding for Tampa Bay as he dominated the Red Sox with 7.1 shutout innings allowing just 1 hit while striking out 8 to earn the win and improve to 1-1 with a 1.35 ERA

* Nathan Eovaldi pitched 6 solid innings allowing 2 runs on 6 hits but took the tough luck loss falling to 1-1 with a 2.92 ERA

* Xander Bogaerts left the ball game with an injury after sliding into second base on a double play ball but will be ok and should be int he lineup for their next game in Baltimore

* The Red Sox will go on their first road trip of the season as they hit the road for 7 games beginning with a 3 game series against the Orioles in Baltimore before 4 games against the Twins in Minnesota. Eduardo Rodriguez will get the start for Boston against Matt Harvey for Baltimore in the opener.

Re: TNK MLB 21 Sliders

4 games with these sliders and I really enjoy them. I initially made a few changes before I ever played a game. Human and CPU starter and reliever stamina to 8 and CPU strike frequency to 5. Everything feels great. Played first 2 games as Braves and lost to the Phillies 7-3 and 5-2. Then played as the Blue jays vs the Yankees and won 3-2. I was starting to question my decision to stick with zone hitting this year after years of timing. Was definitely struggling at the plate. Then I played as the braves against the blue jays and won 10-2 with 5 homeruns. Riley with 2, Freeman, Acuna, Ozuna. Blue Jays hit 2 as well. Strikeouts and Walks have felt really good both ways. I do not dominate pitching the way I have over the years with default or other sliders. Overall I will be continuing to use these and hopefully play out the season.

TNK - Boston Red Sox Franchise
Game #7 of the season

Boston Red Sox (3-3) @ Baltimore Orioles (1-5)
Pitching Matchup - Eduardo Rodriguez vs Matt Harvey

Matt Harvey was dealing early in the game as he struck out 6 of the first 7 Red Sox batters before Bobby Dalbec got a pitch up in the zone and launched a solo HR to LF in the top of the 3rd to give Boston a 1-0 lead. Eduardo Rodriguez was also pitching well early as he had not allowed a hit through his first 3 innings of work and the game would move to the 4th inning with the Red Sox leading 1-0. Boston would add a run with 2 outs in the top of the 4th on a RBI single up the middle by Marwin Gonzalez to make it 2-0. Harvey continued to pile up the strikeouts and fanned JD Martinez to end the top of the 5th for his 10th K of the game. Rodriguez made quick work of the Orioles in the bottom of the 5th and had yet to allow a hit as the game would move to the 6th inning with the Red Sox leading 2-0. The Orioles went down in order again in the bottom of the 6th as Eduardo Rodriguez had a no hitter through 6 innings and we would go to the 7th inning with Boston leading 2-0. Rodriguez would sit down Mountcastle, Mancini and Santander in the bottom of the 7th with the no-hitter still intact and he was just 6 outs away from history sending the game to the 8th inning with Boston leading 2-0. Rodriguez would return to the mound for the bottom of the 8th and retire Valaika for the 1st out before Freddy Galvis punched a soft liner over Gonzalez at second base for a single to break up the no-hit bid with 1 out in the bottom of the 8th. Rio Ruiz was up next and he would get a cutter over the plate and drive it over the wall in CF for a 2-run HR to tie the game up 2-2. Adam Ottavino would replace Rodriguez on the mound and get the final two outs of the inning and the game would move to the 9th inning with the score now tied 2-2. Shawn Armstrong took over on the mound for Baltimore and recorded two quick outs in the top of the 9th before leaving a cutter up in the zone to Christian Vazquez who launched a huge solo HR to LF giving the Red Sox a 3-2 lead. Matt Barnes came on to pitch the bottom of the 9th with the Orioles coming up to hit trailing 3-2. Cedric Mullins grounded out to Dalbec for the first out and Ryan Mountcastle would line a single into LF to put the tying run on base with 1 out. Barnes came back to strikeout Trey Mancini on a nasty splitter in the dirt for the 2nd out and Anthony Santander would pop out to Vazquez in foul ground for the final out as Barnes records his 3rd save and the Red Sox win 3-2

* The Red Sox win the opener of this 3 game series in Baltimore 3-2 to improve to 4-3 on the season while the Orioles fall to 1-6

* Eduardo Rodriguez was excellent for Boston taking a no-hitter into the 8th inning and was 5 outs away from the history books when Freddy Galvis singled to break up to no-hitter and Rio Ruiz drilled a 2-run HR to tie the game. Rodriguez would finish with a no-decision after 7.1 innings pitched allowing 2 runs on 2 hits with 2 walks and 5 Ks

* Christian Vazquez went 2 for 4 and hit the big go ahead HR with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to snap the 2-2 tie and give the Red Sox the lead

* Bobby Dalbec went 1 for 3 with his first HR of the season for Boston

* The Red Sox and Orioles will have an off day before playing game 2 of the series where Garrett Richards will get the start for Boston against Bruce Zimmerman for Baltimore

HIGHLIGHTS
Bobby Dalbec gave the Red Sox a 1-0 lead with a solo HR in the 3rd inning and Marwin Gonzalez RBI single in the 4th inning made it 2-0
