I watched a few videos on redsox.com and it looks pretty good. A definite upgrade then the generic 50-something he had. Quick question, I see people asking for stances/deliveries for Ortiz, Pedroia, etc. If they have their own stance/delivery, why change it?

I haven't checked Boesch for Middlebrooks, but I've been using Cody Ross's stance and I think it's really good, from the stance itself, to the warm up swing, to the two hand follow through.

Regarding your last question, the reason is because Pedroia and Ortiz have had the same stance in the game for the past few years, but in real life, they've altered them slightly. Pedroia now holds the bat up around his head, but when he did his stance for the game a few year's ago, he held it around his shoulders. For Ortiz, his stance changes every year it seems. In recent years, he's been standing more upright and wiggling the bat a lot less. Some years he bends his knees more than others, etc. I've been on a quest for years to find a good stance for him, but nothing is perfect. Using C. Santana for now. For Pedroia, I'm still just using his stance in the game because it just feels more like Pedroia than others that may be technically more accurate.

Makes sense. For me though, if its a slight adjustment I don't see the need. If say, Crawford closed his stance, then yea I'd change it.


Middlebrooks has been using an all brown glove past few games now. I'll keep an eye on that.

Middlebrooks seems to be using the brown glove, however I stand corrected with the color. I compared it with The Show's colors, it seems to be more of a light brown. Other things I noticed were eye black, and a black shin guard (front). Seems to be using an all black bat as well, haven't seen him with any other colors to my knowledge.


I also changed Daniel Nava's positions. His primary was RF, I changed that to LF, and now his secondary position is OF.

Have you guys tweaked Middlebrooks at all as far as his speed goes? I seemed to remember that he is a pretty quick guy, but the OS Middlebrooks is gettign thrown out on what ought to be stand up doubles, and I did not know if you guys had adjusted his speed rating, and if so, where are you happy with it as of now?

Thanks.

I have to agree with this too. My first at bat I had with Middlebrooks I smoked a double and thought he was slow rounding the bases. For me his speed is 57, and Pedroia's is 67 I believe. I think it should be around Pedroia's rating.

I also think Middlebrooks' durability rating should be higher as well.


EDIT: Watching tonights game, Dice-K looks to have an orange glove. I give up with him lol.

New stance for Ryan Kalish. I was using Brett Gardner's but Gaby Sanchez looks perfect.

Thoughts?

Great find, I was using Cliff Pennington, but Sanchez' has his hands lower near shoulder height(where Kalish holds them)...

Anybody got one for Daniel Bard, the reliever...

His motion in the game is for starting, its just to slow... I know last year he was quicker to the plate than that...
Thanks...

I edited Lars Anderson's secondary position to LF. He's been playing a bit of LF lately with Mauro Gomez at 1B.

I've been using Chipper Jones stance for Will Middlebrooks and it looks pretty good

Check it out and let me know what you guys think
