Wanted to share this with you guys. Manually Played every game w Cubs. HOF, pics att

[jcar0725]

I'm not crazy I don't think.....but I just restarted MLB 19, did a fantasy draft with the Indians, went mostly for younger players, and I'm attempting to play every pitch of every game (continuing when MLB 20 comes out)...... I think it will be pretty satisfying.

However, I am 50 years old with kids and a full time job....

Pretty much default sliders. I wrote everything down like I used to in the 90's, really enjoyed it. Finished this in Oct. But wanted to share it with you guys here. Hope you find it somewhat interesting. Hope Next year's show improves on a great playing game. As you see in the pics I tied Brewers and beat them in a one game play in. I have more pics I just randomly chose a few.

Always wanted to do this but with Madden, FIFA, NHL, etc. I dont know if I'll have the time.

One thing I am curious about, you said you beat Milwaukee in game 163 but youre notebook shows you in the Wild Card Game and Milwaukee in the NLDS vs Atlanta?

I was wrong, I lost to the brewers. So they won the division, I dropped to the WC. So it was a 1 game play in where the loser still made playoffs...Im older now 45, so my memory is going ha. I had to go look at my notebook, thanks for correcting me.

Did you make any significant trades?

No, not the first season. I played with pretty much the cubs, I even sent Castellanos to my team when the cubs did. I did start year 2, but i was burnt out, I only got 15 games in. In the off season heading into season 2, I kept bryant, traded schwarber to the padres, for bullpen help, yates, and took will myers as well in the deal. Other major move was lester for robby ray.

Kudos to you man. I always wanted to play all innings of a season once and record stats but I never make it past the first two months. I get burnt out on playing and just want to advance the seasons. Great work!
