StillUnknown Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) this game is reminding me how frustrating it was to see Eaton bunting so early Edited April 5, 2020 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Eaton with the clutch 2 out, 2 strike RBI single. Ernie Johnson just read a stat that we led the NL in 2 out RBIs with 335. Don't recall hearing that the first watch, or talked about during last season. Bats were clutch all year, kept it going in the postseason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hudson made that 9th inning stressful as ****. that final AB against Seager was intense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 10 hours ago, Forehead said: I saw a demo of The Show and it looked intriguing. Are you able to play an entire game (bat as everyone) or are you restricted to just your player, which is what the demo was doing. I’m playing the show right now, in Franchise mode, which makes you the GM and you play the entire game, bat as everyone and pitch. Of course, I created a player that may or may not be named after myself who is a cross between Mike Schmidt and Babe ****ing Ruth because I didn’t like the Nats options at 3rd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This is so much fun to re-watch. Rainey with a key out in the 7th tossing 100mph. Bring on Corbin! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Totally forgot Rainey started the 7th and got those 2 huge outs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 A friend of mine is a long time Dodgers season ticket holder. When they left Kershaw in in the top of the 8th, he got up and left, the others around him were like "We're winning, WTF?!" His response "Kershaw will blow it." It was tied by the time he got back to the car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Could never quite make out what Howie was yelling circling those bases, but I imagine it sounded a lot like this.. What a ****ing moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it? If so, Steam may get my money. You don't button mash and try to time your swing, control your fielders, run the base and all that stuff, but you manage the game. Fill out the lineups, manage your pitching staff, manage the game from a managers perspective. The graphics aren't amazing but there's a game to watch. You control whether your batter takes a pitch or swings away, but whether or not they make contact is up to the ratings. Stealing bases, hit and run, run and hit, double steals. Manage the bullpen, manage the matchups. So you play the game but there's no button mashing. Each game takes about 15-20 minutes. Didn't think I'd like it more than The Show but I'm absolutely hooked. It's more about managing your franchise, developing your minor leaguers, making trades, free agent acquisitions, drafting, etc. In 3 days on my sim, Trey Mancini will be back from the IL and I will do what my Orioles will not do...which is DFA Chris Davis. I might even crack a beer. Edited April 7, 2020 by Spaceman Spiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my lineups mostly saved for matchups vs. lefties and righties so filling out the order doesn't take that much time. And then in game, it moves along pretty quickly.

Spaceman Spiff Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) This guy is a bit obnoxious but he starts playing the game around 17 minutes so you can see how quickly the game can move along. He's got it streamlined a bit faster than I do, I've got it so that I'm controlling whether or not batters are taking or swinging away.

StillUnknown Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 i completely forgot about MAT misjudging that ball late in game 2 against the Cardinals. just one more sign it really was our year. In the past, the floodgates would have opened after that botch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 People dont realize that Victor Robles played in 150+ games as a rookie and had a great rookie year. Hes been overshadowed by all time great rookie campaigns in Bryce or Soto, otherwise id argue robles had the best rookie year for a Nat. Maybe Zimm? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
