He came in as a first-round pick so he may have been an "A" from the start but I'd have to go back and watch the first few episodes to even remind myself lol

Get ready for a four-homerun episode as Rory McMahon terrorizes NL East foes New York and Philadelphia before busting out the #McMahonSlam on Milwaukee.

My 1B RTTS player is still stuck in AA (he's in the Indians organization) even though he's destroying pitching there (he's likely to hit .400 with lots of power and a good amount of triples this year after batting .360 in his rookie year with similar production).

Not even a promotion to AAA. Not sure why not, but he's got the hitting ratings for it (70/75 vs RHP, 63/63 vs LHP, he's a switch hitter).

Oh well, at least he's giving the fans of AA ball a real show. Recently had a 10 RBI game. Maybe he's still not convinced the front office yet.

Meanwhile, my RTTS SP is already at the majors with the Marlins in his rookie year . Talk about getting fast-tracked. Not even sure he's ready for the bigs yet. He's a knuckleballer (with a palmball and 2-seam) so maybe that's part of it?

Yeah in my first year as a 3rd baseman I was up hitting just .310! I think I would be demanding a trade soon

Man When your hot your hot but when you cool off....Ouch


Just hit August with my Jays now im hitting .245 with 15hrs which is club lead and 71 RBI also club lead.

Im a sucker for low fast balls so Im striking out alot. One cool side is im 5th in AL with my 71 RBI and I lead majors with 40 SB

Takahashi Matsumoto continues to adapt to life in the United States. However, he's adapted to life on the baseball field a lot quicker. (radio play-by-play broadcast)

Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to. Here's the line:




To borrow one of Steve Lyons' lines...

Finished my first season as a SP for the White Sox... my last start of the season i got a no hitter against the royals... almost had a perfect game but got squeezed in the strike zone for a walk... was PISSED.

then we missed the playoffs which was expected, simmed through the playoffs to see the Dodgers beat the Angels for the World Series which would be interesting to see.

scrolled through the retiring players and saw Bryce Harper retired do to injury (after year one) would absolutely suck if that happened in dynasty mode as the nationals lol

now just signed 4 year 7 mill deal with the white sox... hopefully things workout this year
