World Series Game 1: Pittsburgh Pirates at Cleveland Guardian

After a few innings to settle in, the punches started to fly as both teams cranked the ball around the field. Shane Bieber was not particularly sharp, but was effective enough to kill scoring rallies.

Pirates defense was shaky once again and bobbled several balls throughout the evening, allowing scoring opportunities for the Guardians.

A nice rally in the 8th inning sent a message that Pittsburgh is not going to fold, so game 2 is set up nicely for some more action.

World Series Game 2: Pittsburgh Pirates at Cleveland Guardians

Uh-oh.

Aaron Civale levitated above the mound all night and pitched a complete game four-hit effort to give Cleveland a 2-0 edge heading back to Pittsburgh. It did not matter what he threw, or where he threw, the ball ended up in the gloves of the fielders. Even perfect-perfects were going for outs. What are you gunna do?

On the defensive side of the ball, the inexplicable bobbles continued (see the scoring summary) and those misqueues continued to result in runs across the plate.

Time for some home cooking.

World Series Game 3: Cleveland Guardians at Pittsburgh Pirates

Boom!

After a quick run-scoring double in the first inning from Cleveland, Pittsburgh went to work and put on a hitting display against Triston McKenzie, putting up six runs in 2.2 innings off of the starter, including a back-to-back hr effort by Bryan Reynolds and Wil Myers for the second time this postseason. Pittsburgh would bend but not break the rest of the game.

The Pirates also moved Marcano to 2B to shore up some of the bobbles that have been occurring lately. The difference was noticeable.

World Series Game 4: Cleveland Guardians at Pittsburgh Pirates

An instant classic!

Joe Musgrove and Cal Quantrill came into game 4 meaning business, and both pitchers delivered outstanding performances by allowing just a smattering of hits while the defenses came up with the big plays in the clutch.

The result is a nailbiter 2-1 result in favor of the Pirates, who are now all square with three to go in the series.

I really did not know how Musgrove would deal being on short rest, but his stuff was moving and the sinker created three double plays that erased potential scoring threats. The one run he allowed was on a dribbler just past several players reach on a low and way outside pitch that nobody had a earthly reason to reach. Regardless the team (well, me) kept composure and scrapped the deciding runs together a couple innings later.

This is getting good. Game 5 is up next.

World Series Game 5: Cleveland Guardians at Pittsburgh Pirates

Pirates are on the cusp of a World Series championship with a 10-8 win over the Cleveland Guardians in game 5.

Pirates absolutely dismantled Zach Plesac for eight runs in less than three innings pitched. I saw the ball really well and then as he became rattled, the beachballs started floating over the plate.

Of course the inevitable Cleveland rally occurred shortly thereafter as Cleveland exploded for seven runs in two innings. Once the CPU finished their tantrum Whitlock and Bedard settled in to wrap this one up.

Both teams hold home field court. Two changes to win it all in Cleveland.

World Series Game 6: Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Guardians

I guess it was inevitable, given how tight this season has been.

Shane Bieber once again delivers from the mound, and his teammates delivered in the field. It wasn't hitting bad pitches, the just went into the fielders gloves EVERY TIME.

Not much else to say, but one to go for the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP.

World Series Game 7: Pittsburgh Pirates and Cleveland Guardians

For the first time in 43 years, the Pittsburgh Pirates are World Series champions!

So many great things about this game. Joe Musgrove (picked up specifically with a game 7 scenario in mind) fullfilled that destiny as he pitched five innings of two-run ball.

Cleveland scored first for the umpteenth time in the series, but the Pirates got to Aaron Civale in the 2nd inning to establish themselves right back in the game.

no homers in this game. Just crafty baseball that created exceptional drama, as scoring opportunity after scoring opportunity was squashed by both teams.

A HUGE momentum shift in the 6th inning as Jose Ramirez, after an outstanding diving stretch at third to then throw out the runner at first, came up injured and had to be pulled from the game. The combo of Ramirez and Naylor has been absolutely dangerous the entire series. Pirates responded with a run-scoring single the next play to deflate the Cleveland fans.

Andrew McCutchen led off the 9th with a massive no-out triple that led to some additional insurance. David Bednar sealed the deal in the bottom of the ninth.

Andrew McCutchen, brought back to Pittsburgh to DH his former team to a championship, picks up both the playoff MVP and World Series MVP honors. I would argue that Bryan Reynolds deserves to co-share that honor as well.

Thus wraps up an incredibly fun and stressful season of MLB the Show 22 Franchise. Time to turn the page to MLB the Show 23...in 3 days! So much for an offseason...

I will be wrapping up my thoughts on the slider set and the game itself in the next post.

Congrats on winning the championship. I’m about to pay the World Series with the Guardians facing the Cubs. Looking for revenge from 2016.

Re: FenwayMac 2022 Legend Pitching/HOF Hitting Sliders

I want to wrap up my MLB 22 sliders string with a few final thoughts on the settings and how they played out over a full 162-game season plus playoffs. Sample size is certainly not an issue with this set!

First, from a gamplay perpective: For sheer entertainment, my season came down to a one-game division win over the Cardinals decided on game 161 of the season, and my playoff run finished in a no-homer grind out game 7. So overall for gameplay experience I could not have asked for much more.

I felt that each game had its own unique feel. there were tight games, blowouts, pitching duals, win streaks and losing streaks. They hit variety felt...varied, and the scoring playing were wide ranging outside of just scoring by the long ball.

But from a slider perspective there was certainly room for improvement, though tweaks would be minor, at least from my perspective. Keep in mind that these are designed with PCI players in mind, those want to make their inputs matter as much as possible in the outcome of the play. As such, many categories of stats can be affected by PCI play, such as strikeouts received, hits, and fly ball/line drive/ground ball percentages. I also play on competitive mode vs simulation mode, so there is that to consider as well in analyzing the final numbers.

First off, I am big on finding a 1B/2B/3B/HR range to fall close to MLB averages, which is roughly 66%/20%/2%/12%. While both CPU and I were in range on doubles and triples, we were both slightly low on singles and high on home runs. This to me would seem easily fixable by simply decreasing power -1. my BA was .242 which I feel is fine, so I would not mess with contact. the CPU on the other hand bat .264, so MAYBE I would consider dropping CPU contact a tick as well (maybe).

Errors: I averaged about an error every three games, which I feel is too low so I would think about bumping that up for myself and possible the CPU as well, who had an error rate of 41%

Walks and K's. I guarantee the walks are there, but again both of these stats are highly dependent on your play style. I had patient games and some not so patient games at the plate and the game-to-game stats indicate both high and low walk and strikeout games. The CPU struck out at 6.77 times a game which to me is a bit low. I think lowering CPU contact, as mentioned above, might increase that rate. But K's for PCI players, again, is pretty dependent on me, and I am much more likely to make bad contact than to miss altogether.

Both teams line drive percentages were nearly spot on at 20%, where I hit way more flyballs than grounders, and the CPU hit about 5% less flyballs and 5% more grounders than me. I attribute my elevated flyball average to PCI play and me getting under the ball too much. I would not make any adjustments, more specifically to solid hits, in this instance. The line drive percentage tells me that this is dialed in just fine,

Pitching Consistency and Control are both spot on for the CPU with a first pitch strike % of just under 60% and overall pitch strike % of 63%. Mine are both about 5% higher, attributed to how I like to pitch, not so much the sliders. I would leave these.

BABIP. CPU .283, User .255. Both too low. I feel dropping power and getting some more of those homers down in the grass would help this.

Overall scoring play types I am also pretty happy with. I bit high on home runs scores, but again lowering power should help there. Sac flys, while satisfying, were happening at an almost 10% clip for me, which I feel is too high. Fielders need better arms to either mow down more runners or maybe give the pause to attempt to advance at all.

So yeah, not a ton of changes, but a few that I feel will make a difference. I intend to start my next set with the changes above implemented as a starting point. I highly doubt the game will have changed enough to need to start from scratch.

Other thoughts to wrap up the season:

. Stealing. I am TERRIBLE at it and for the most part just gave up trying by about midseason because I was hurting my scoring rather than helping it. Any ideas on how to consistently steal bases is much appreciated.

. CPU comebacks. Everybody has an opinion on whether the CPU can inexplicably throw the switch and make amazing plays happen. Some say it is just lack of concentration and that baseball is baseball. But in my opinion it does happen and you can feel it coming and you pretty helpless to let the CPU get what they want before suddenly reverting back to easy outs. It normally starts with a ridiculous miscue in the field, or a string of first-pitch hits that either are way out of the zone or right down the middle. The CPU scores a few runs and then back to average. I played through them and accepted them, but man-alive if there is one major displeasure I had playing though this season, it was those moments.

See you in '23!
