MLB 11 : The Show

[Southstander]

Second Perfect Game. Beckett had 10 K against the Tribe.

[Frenchy180]

Jimenez: 9.0 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 9th K... There was also one error.

[Southstander]

Haha nice.


I've had both in 2010, but not 2011. Granted, I haven't been able to play much until now. I've come really close recently, so hopefully soon. Same with the Cycle, CarGo will get one here shortly I'm sure.

I have come close to the cycle.

[Frenchy180]

Alright, I'm interested to see it.


I really haven't made any changes to my roster besides the Brandon Phillips trade and fill-ins for injured players. I never really do though. Pujols is on the trade block, but I know it isn't plausible so I don't really want to make the trade. However, when I just mess around and offer them Huston Street and Ian Stewart, they really like the trade, but like I said, no plausible.

My record is 43-21 playing all the games to this point
Alright, In order here is my pitching rotation

Ubaldo Jimenez
Jorge de La Rosa
Cole Hamels
Jhoulys Chacin
Jason Hammel
LRP- Aaron Cook
MRP- Matt Belislse

Now here is my lineup (we'll go with my vs. RHP lineup)
CF Dexter Fowler
1B Todd Helton
SS Troy Tulowitzki
LF Carlos Gonzalez
3B Ty Wigginton
2B Jose Lopez
RF Bryce Harper
C Jose Morales

Bench
Eric Young Jr.
Ian Stewart
Ryan Spilborghs
Willy Traveres
Chris Iannetta

[Broncoholic3233]

I have had a no no and a Perfect Game. Both where hard to pull off.

Then the other day I was playing the Cubs in interleague play. Swung and missed but it was a dropped third strike. The catcher goes to throw me out and sails it over the first base mans head and I end up on third.

Haha nice.

Nice :thumb: I'll type up my roster, but won't go into stats... I play with Rookie batting, and whatever the default pitching is... The roster will be up in a bit...

Well, I am now at the same point the real Rockies are. Just, I don't suck like the real Rockies are right now

I simulate Jason Hammel and Esmil Rodgers starts, because the season is so long anyways, and games take forever.

I play on Veteran hitting and Hall of Fame pitching, due to the fact I suck at hitting, but am very good at pitching.

I traded quite a few AAA players for Brandon Phillips a few weeks ago. Got a good deal because he was really struggling, and still is.

Well, there is my team. I was bored as hell, so I typed all this out

[Frenchy180]

Depending on what difficulty you're on, but I utilize the guess pitch feature. Guess 4SFB up in the zone and don't swing unless I get it until I get my first strike. Then I guess 4SFB down in the zone and don't swing unless I get it until I get my second strike. Once I get my second strike I guess 4SFB down in the zone and just try to fight everything else off until I get one.

It's not a perfect science by any means, but I win more than I lose. That's probably more from my pitching though, that is my strong point.

Yeah someone else pointed that out to me awhile back... good advice!

I've retirement 27 in a row, but didn't get the perfect game.

[JaysusCutler]

So... I just turned in probably the worst sports video game performance since I was eight. I'm generally pretty bad at baseball games because I get impatient and swing at everything. I ended this game with two hits, no runs 17 strikeouts against. Gave up 10 runs on 15 hits, 9 errors. I was absolutely awful lol.

Any tips on working on my plate discipline? I know how to work on the errors lol.

[Broncoholic3233]

Damn!

Another 1 hitter, so close. Both the perfect game and no-hitter were spoiled in the 8th. Walked Braun, then got a DP. Then gave up a hit. So I faced 28 batters.

Ubaldo Jimenez: 9.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 9 SO; 84 pitches

7-2 on the year with a 2.81 ERA

[Broncoholic3233]

Just pitched a perfect game with Phil Hughes...

9 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 14 Ks.

Against LAA.

I am a bit shocked I didn't blow up towards the end...

14 Ks with Phil?


Is it on Rookie?

[Frenchy180]

I've made a trade for Bryce Harper... he's gotten really close to the cycle a lot. It's always the Homer I miss.

I love doing homerun derby with Pujols at Coors to see if I can hit a 500 footer.
