Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE
Game #113 of Season

Kansas City Royals (53-61) @ Boston Red Sox (73-39)
Pitching Matchup – Brady Singer vs Kutter Crawford

The Red Sox opened the scoring in the bottom of the 1st as Jarren Duran drew a lead off walk and came around to score on a RBI single by Rafael Devers giving Boston a 1-0 lead. Kutter Crawford was pitching well for Boston while Brady Singer settled in nicely as both pitchers had allowed just one hit through 4 innings and we would go to the 5th inning with Boston leading 1-0. Things completely fell apart for Crawford in the top of the 6th as Drew Waters walked and Maikel Garcia dropped a single into CF putting two men on for Bobby Witt with 1 out. Witt would hit a ground ball through the right side into RF for a RBI single as Waters scored to tie the game at 1-1. Michael Massey was up next and he would get a hanging slider from Crawford and hit a towering fly ball down the RF line that hooked inside the Pesky pole for a 3-run HR as the Royals string together 4 straight hits to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 4-1 lead. Chris Martin replaced Crawford on the mound and the first pitch he threw was crushed for a solo HR by Salvador Perez making it 5-1. Martin would record the final 2 outs but the Royals send 10 men to the plate in the inning and now lead 5-1. Singer retired the first 2 batters in the bottom of the 6th before Devers lined a ball in the gap for a RBI double to make it 5-2. Story was up next and he smoked a ball on a line deep to RF but Waters would get back to make a nice catch and send the game to the 7th inning with Kansas City leading 5-2. Massey came up with runners on the corners and 1 out in the top of the 7th and he would deliver again as he hit a ball over the head of Verdugo in RF for a ground rule double as Garcia scores making it 6-2. Salvador Perez followed with a double down the LF line to blow the game open and give the Royals a 8-2 lead. Chris Murphy took over for Martin and recorded the final two outs while Singer remained in the game and retired the side in the bottom of the 7th to send the game to the 8th inning with the Royals leading 8-2. Kansas City added a RBI single by Waters and a RBI sac fly from Witt to stretch the lead to 10-2. Turner and Devers delivered back to back RBI singles to cut the deficit to 10-4 and that would be all for Singer as Collin Snider came in with two men on base and 1 out as the Red Sox had a chance to get back in the ball game. Snider retired Story before Adam Duvall just missed a 3-run HR to CF by an inch as it hit off the top of the wall for a two run double making it 10-6. Alex Verdugo followed with a ground ball into RF for a RBI single as Duvall scores to cut the Royals lead to 10-7 and Reese McGuire lined a ball down the RF line that rolled along the wall for a RBI triple making it 10-8. The Royals would bring on their closer Carlos Hernandez looking for the 4 out save and Pablo Reyes would hit a blooper into shallow CF but Massey would get back and make a nice running catch to finally bring the inning to an end after the Red Sox send 10 men to the plate and score 6 runs to get back in the ball game as we would head to the 9th inning with Kansas City leading 10-8. Nick Pivetta pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 9th and the Red Sox would come up to bat with the top of the order due up against Hernandez in the bottom of the 9th. Hernandez would retire Duran to start the bottom of the 9th before Yoshida lined a single to CF bringing the tying run to the plate in Turner with 1 out with Devers lurking in the on deck circle. Hernandez would escape as Turner hit a ground ball up the middle that Massey made a great play to get to and flip to Witt to start a beautiful game ending 4-6-3 double play as the Royals hang on for a 10-8 win

GAME NOTES
* The Red Sox and Royals played perhaps the wildest game of the season as the Red Sox led 1-0 after 5 innings with both pitchers just 1 hit before the Royals exploded for 10 runs on 13 hits between the 6th, 7th and 8th innings taking a 10-2 lead while the Red Sox came alive for 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th to cut the deficit to 10-8. The Red Sox brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the 9th with Rafael Devers in the on deck circle but Massey and Witt would combine to turn a gorgeous 4-6-3 double play to end the game and preserve the 10-8 victory for KC to even this series at one game each

* The Red Sox fall to 73-40 while Royals improve to 54-61 on the season

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE
Game #114 of Season

Kansas City Royals (54-61) @ Boston Red Sox (73-40)
Pitching Matchup – Jordan Lyles vs James Paxton

The game was scoreless through 2 innings and the Royals had a chance to score with 2 outs in the top of the 3rd when Maikel Garcia hammered a ball off the green monster and Kyle Isbel tried to score from first base on the play but Yoshida and Reyes executed a strong relay throw to the plate to nail Isbel for the 3rd out. The Red Sox opened the scoring in the bottom of the 3rd when Luis Urias turned on a fastball up in the zone and launched a 410 foot solo HR to LF giving Boston a 1-0 lead. Justin Turner took Lyles deep for a 2-run HR to CF with 2 outs making it 3-0. Rafael Devers crushed the very next pitch 425 feet down the RF line as the Red Sox hit back to back HRs to take a 4-0 lead. Kansas City responded in the top of the 4th as Bobby Witt led off with a single and Michael Massey followed with an absolute bomb as he crushed a changeup from Paxton 432 feet over the Red Sox bullpen in RF for a 2-run HR cutting the Sox lead to 4-2. The Red Sox added to their lead with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5th when Devers lined a RBI single to CF and Triston Casas followed with a rocket in the gap in right-center for a two run double extending the Boston lead to 7-2. The Royals answered in the top of the 6th when MJ Melendez drove in 2 runs with a RBI double to cut the deficit to 7-4. Matt Duffy added a RBI single with 2 outs to make it 7-5 and Garrett Whitlock came on to replace Paxton and recorded the final out. Angel Zerpa pitched a scoreless bottom of the 6th sending the game to the 7th inning with Boston leading 7-5. Whitlock struck out Massey to end the top of the 7th keeping it a 7-5 game. Tucker Davidson pitched a scoreless bottom of the 7th sending the game to the 8th inning with the Red Sox up 7-5. Whitlock and John Schreiber combined to retire the side in order in the top of the 8th while Davidson pitched a scoreless bottom of the 8th to send the game to the 9th inning with Boston leading 7-5. Kenley Jansen came on to pitch the top of the 9th for Boston as the Royals came to the plate trailing 7-5. Matt Duffy went down looking on a fastball for the 1st out and Drew Waters went down swinging on a cutter and the Royals were down to their final out with Kyle Isbel coming to the plate. Jansen hung a slider to Isbel on the first pitch and Isbel launched a 432 foot solo HR clearing the Royals bullpen to make it a one run game at 7-6. Maikel Garcia would drive a ball deep to left-center but Duran would get their to make the catch on the run at the warning track for the final out and the Red Sox hang on to win 7-6

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

TNK - BOSTON RED SOX FRANCHISE
Game #115 of Season

Kansas City Royals (54-62) @ Boston Red Sox (74-40)
Pitching Matchup – Alec Marsh vs Tanner Houck

The Royals jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 2nd inning and Salvador Perez crushed a solo HR to CF in the top of the 3rd putting Kansas City up 4-0. The Red Sox answered in the bottom of the 4th as Triston Casas hit a 2-run HR to cut the deficit to 4-3. Alex Verdugo hit a 3-run HR down the RF line in the bottom of the 5th putting Boston up 6-4. Matt Beaty cut the deficit to 6-5 with a RBI single in the top of the 6th and the score remained 6-5 until the top of the 8th when MJ Melendez connected for a 2-run HR to RF off John Schreiber with 2 outs to put the Royals on top 7-6. Taylor Hearn was on to pitch the bottom of the 8th for KC and Rafael Devers doubled to put runners on 2nd & 3rd with 1 out. KC would intentionally walk Adam Duval to load the bases for Triston Casas who already homered in the ball game. Hearn fell behind 3 & 0 and Casas would hit a towering fly ball to LF off the green monster for a two run single that gave the Red Sox a 8-7 lead. Taylor Clarke replaced Hearn on the mound and Trevor Story drove in a pair with a RBI double making it 10-7 and Reese McGuire followed with a RBI double to make it 11-7. Alex Verdugo added a 3-run HR as the Red Sox bat around and explode for 8 runs in the bottom of the 8th to turn a 7-6 deficit into a 14-7 lead. Nick Pivetta pitched a scoreless 9th for Boston to finish off a 14-7 win

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

Hey TNK...

I've never been able to see the opposing pitchers pitch repertoire w/o going to the menus. It looks like you can...what/where is that setting?

Your sliders look to be playing nicely...lots of offense..I always thought you did good work.

Trying to understand your thought process more than question your slider set up - how come user batting sliders are higher than cpu's?

Is it because you use zone hitting interface?

Thanks in advance,

I don't really have much of a reason other than that's where I settled and things felt right. I feel like I have good enough statistical variety, right now my team ranks are

Batting Average - .273 (3rd in MLB)
Runs - 529 (7th in MLB)
HR - 176 (2nd in MLB)
ERA - 3.34 (1st in MLB with Tampa at 3.40, Dodgers at 3.41, Braves at 3.44)

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

quick question, could I use cycloniac roster with your set or should I use a specific roster file? Many thanks

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

Quick question. Will bumping CPU foul frequency up a notch help reduce strike outs if I leave everything else at default?

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

Hi guys I know I’m late to the party but how do these work on dynamic difficulty? I’ve tried hof but have been getting smoked. Used to play the show all the time and I think tnk used to use dynamic difficulty a few years back. Recently got a ps5 so getting back into the show again

Re: TNK MLB 23 SLIDERS

Did you ever finish your season TNK? I used to like looking at all your game scores & stats. I’m a statistic nerd myself and made my own legend sliders I want to post up but can’t yet since I just made this profile haha
