#GenerationDBacks - a BigJDotCom MLB 18 The Show Production

[bigjdotcom01]

Platform: MLB 18 The Show
Rosters: 2018 OSFM Hybrid V1.0
Sliders: Armor & Sword & Marino's Timed/Classic Simulation
Roster Control: 30 team control, but only to approve trades.
Rules: I will play all of the DBacks games. I finished a full season in MLB The Show 16 with my DBacks going all the way to the NLCS where we lost to the Giants in six game. I do have 30 team control, but I will not do anything with any team but the DBacks. However, I will accept or decline trades as I see fit. Remember, this is a fictional dynasty and not real life. If you remember that, then you should enjoy this.

As per usual I am going with the DBacks again since I live in the Valley and they are my team.

Please do not post until I get a few templates posted. Thanks.

2018 DBACKS SCHEDULE

[bigjdotcom01]

MARCH 29-31: COLORADO (1-2) @ ARIZONA (2-1)

March 29: Arizona 3, Colorado 0
March 30: Arizona 3, Colorado 2
March 31: Colorado 4, Arizona 2

This year, I am trying to keep it a bit simpler. I will just post updates of each series instead of individual games. Should help this to move along quicker and is less work.

The Dbacks opened the 2018 season against fellow National League Wild Card opponent Colorado with the Dbacks taking two of three. They were poised for the sweep, but Brad Boxberger blew a ninth inning save in the series finale, allowing three runs in the top of the ninth to allow the Rockies to salvage the finale.

Zach Grienke was masterful in the opener, pitching eight shutout innings, allowing just two hits while striking out 10 and not issuing any walks. A.J. Pollock went 2 for 4 with a double and home run, while driving in two.

In game two, Charlie Blackmon singled home DJ LaMahieu with the go ahead run in the top of the eighth off of reliever Andrew Chafin. But a Jake Lamb RBI single tied it and a Nolan Arenado throwing error allowed Paul Goldschmidt to score the go ahead run as Arizona went up 3-2. Archie Bradley came on for the save in the ninth. Manager Torey Lovullo said afterwards that Bradley would move into the closer role with Brad Boxberger moving back into middle relief.

Arizona (2-1) will host the Los Angeles Dodgers (4-0) for a three game series at Chase Field beginning on Monday. Clayton Kershaw will miss his scheduled start with shoulder stiffness.

The DBacks and Rockies opened up the 2018 season at Chase Field.

APRIL 2-4: LOS ANGELES (5-2) @ ARIZONA (4-2)

April 2: Arizona 11, Los Angeles 1
April 3: Los Angeles 12, Arizona 0
April 4: Arizona 6, Los Angeles 1

The DBacks got the series off to a great start, crushing the Dodgers 11-1 behind Zack Godley. Godley tossed seven shutout innings, scattering four hits. The DBacks hit three home runs (Avila, Peralta, and Pollock) to power the offense. Both Avila and Ketel Marte each drove in three runs for Arizona, handing Los Angeles their first loss.

Game two was the polar opposite of game one as Los Angeles hit six home runs including two each from Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp as they pounded the DBacks 12-0. Alex Wood tossed 8 1/3 shutout innings, scattering just four hits. Taijuan Walker was roughed up for six earned runs and ten hits in just five innings of work. After the game, reliever Brad Boxberger was optioned to Triple-A Reno. He had an ERA of 27.00 in three appearances in 2018. T.J. McFarland was recalled to take his spot in the bullpen.

The Diamondbacks took the rubber match behind Zack Greinke, who improved to (2-0). A.J. Pollock hit a two-run double in the first and a three-run home run in the fifth to pace the DBacks offense. He hit three home runs and drove in nine on the opening homestand that saw the DBacks go (4-2).

Arizona will now hit the road for nine games in St. Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

A.J. Pollock hit two home runs in the series as the DBacks now hit the road.
