Yes x 1000.

We are doomed

I think the correct answer to this thread is whomever will cost us only expendable pieces... I wouldn't trade anything of our limited value for 0.5 of a season. Save the good good for a controllable asset. So if we can get Max Scherzer for some middle/back prospects? Sure. If not, then pass. We will probably make some lowkey moves rather than get a stud. I'm ok with that right now. Although, I'd be interested in Gallo as he would give us an extra year of control.

I think the Royals are legit. They have a good deal of pitching depth coming up from the minors, and if they continue to win or stay in the race they will not be afraid to bring up super stud Bobby Witt Jr and other pitching prospects. They also get back Aldaberto Mondessi soon. They have a legit roster and a tough team. With some luck, they can compete with the white sox or twins. They seem to have a management who will go for it as well.

There's absolutely no way it makes sense for the diamondbacks. The D-backs should probably trade Marte at some point to maximize their rebuild, but it won't be for an OFr like Eloy. They have 3 elite OF prospects coming up. The NL will likely get a DH, but I highly doubt they'd trade their key piece for a DH.

Batting average might be one of those stats that starts off slow due to the cold weather or other factors? I mean, I know it's low these days due to batters going for the HR, but might be uncharacteristly low due to the start of the season.

I also have to mention how their servers are absolutely awful so far. Really causing terrible problems for many users who have lost data/games and hours of time due to it.

Menus are pretty awful, IMO. For most people I've seen that has been the biggest negative.

Those of you franchise players should consider diamond dynasty. I was a franchise only player for years until I started to learn a bit about DD. Franchise isn't going to be expanded anytime soon, it just doesn't make the companies money. If you want to experience franchise in single player, then go play OOTP or whatever it is. It's much more extensive in that aspect. Diamond Dynasty is definitely an amazing mode. MLB The Show does it better than any other sporting game. Right now, I have a lot going on in my life so I am only dedicating a little time to the game. I'm focused on collecting as many cards as I can through the various modes and I love building my team. I was a world series player last year, but will likely not play too competitively this year. Mostly focused on the offline grind.

They ratings update for the first few weeks of the season will come out soon/later. Once that first update happens, they usually update once every 2 weeks.

Dunning > Lynn.

Hey to each their own, and I don't necessairly agree that MLB players should only focus on MLB, but having a hobby like music with that kind of offseason... i could see Moncada as a guy who's not 'into it' as much.

An analyst I was listening too was talking about how a player like Moncada focusing on music in the offseason shows where his mind is and downgraded him in his rankings. I kind of agree with that. If you look at a guy like Pete Alonso, he got big, did all these commercials and somewhat sucked in 2020, but came in this season extremely focused, turned down some offers, and is looking a bit better.

Vaughn jyst made a play that eloy woukdnt ever make

Grandal really hasn’t impressed me at all ? i hate to be sour on him, but its looking more and more like one of our worst signings

Someone shoukd make a highlight reel of our defensive woes this season

that no hitter game yesterday really changed the feel of this team. Big turn around. Need to keep hitting, our main guys need to keep playing well. Let's stay healthy. We win this game and take 3-1 from CLE, we get a ton of momentum. Twins haven't done much.

Best game of the season. Hitters hitting and pitcher dealing. Feels more like what we expected going into it. Maybe this will right the ship?? Maybe TLR will stop dicking around the line up?

Andrew Vaughn is a MLB ready player.

Yermin Da GoD!

100% truth.

fuck nick williams starting moronic

This is fucking moronic. We have Nick williams, Lamb and Mendick in the line up. Meanwhile, our boy Vaughn sits the pine. What was the point of bringing him up!?!? Vaughn may have some early season struggles, YES, but it's 14 GOD DAMN AT BATS and he has a .400 OBP to go with it. THATS FUCKING SUCCESSFUL. The only reasonable solution is that he's had some serious problems with LF, but even then, LET HIM FUCKING DH. God damn, it is fucking moronic. Any small, trivial little chance I was willing to give TLR to start the year has quickly been flushed down the drain. Seriously, I don't even want this team to win. I'm watching for them to fuck it up.

Abreu

lmao our strong start to the season continues
