MLB 11 The Show "Franchise/Season" Progress Thread

[PhilliesFan13]

I just finished up the month of April in my Phillies franchise. I play one game a day to match up with the real season. I also do all the real injuries and transactions that happen every day for every team.

I finished April with a 16-11 record in first place in the NL East a half game ahead of the second place Braves.

April was a pretty tough month for me even though I have a winning record. I never scored more than 6 runs in a game, and I only scored 6 runs one time and that was in the first week of the season. All 26 other games were 5 runs or less. For the month the team scored 90 runs and only allowed 73 runs.

My pitching has been incredible. Team ERA of 2.46 for the month.

Starter's combined ERA was 2.47.
Bullpen's combined ERA was 2.23.

Roy Halladay: 4-0, 1.13 ERA, 3 CG, 3 SHO, 48 IP, 49 K,
Cliff Lee: 3-2, 2.48 ERA, 2 CG, 1 SHO, 36.1 IP, 33 K
Roy Oswalt: 2-2, 3.90 ERA, 30 IP, 28 K
Cole Hamels: 1-1, 2.12 ERA, 1 CG, 1 SHO, 34 IP, 23 K
Joe Blanton: 1-1, 4.24 ERA, 23.1 IP, 13 K

It has been really difficult to get a consistent offensive attack going game-to-game. The last game of April I only managed 6 hits and 4 runs and most of that came in the 4th inning.

Here's how my position players and bench fared for the month of April.

Shane Victorino: .185 avg, 20 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBI
Placido Polanco: .186 avg, 19 hits, 3 home runs, 7 RBI
Jimmy Rollins: .220 avg, 22 hits, 0 home runs, 10 RBI
Ryan Howard: .291 avg, 30 hits, 8 home runs, 19 RBI
Ben Francisco: .242 avg, 23 hits, 4 home runs, 11 RBI
Raul Ibanez: .215 avg, 17 hits, 1 home run, 6 RBI
Carlos Ruiz: .295 avg, 18 hits, 1 home run, 8 RBI
Wilson Valdez: .161 avg, 9 hits, 5 RBI

John Mayberry Jr: .371 avg, 13 hits, 4 home runs, 11 RBI
Pete Orr: .176 avg, 6 hits, 0 home runs, 0 RBI
Brian Schneider: .267 avg, 8 hits, 0 home runs, 2 RBI
Ross Gload: .292 avg, 7 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBI
Michael Martinez: .182 avg, 4 hits, 0 home runs, 0 RBI

I'm really hoping I can get more offense going in the next month or so. If not, this season is going to end up being all about pitching with not a lot of runs scored. I guess in a way it plays into real life in that the Phillies haven't been scoring a lot of runs this season so far. They did score 10 runs against the Mets last night. Wish I had that happen in the game. I lost that game 3-0 in The Show. Haha.

What does everyone think of my stats for the first month?

Through the first twenty games of my Blue Jays franchise, I've been struggling a bit, only 7-13 so far. Jose Bautista has been great for me, already having 8 home runs and 17 RBI. Kyle Drabek is also playing well. He's 2-1 with an ERA in the 3s if I remember correctly. Some letdowns have been Ricky Romero, who's 1-3 with a very high ERA, and Rajai Davis, who has been getting some steals but not on base enough to utilize his speed.

Love reyes.... U need a bench tho

[housemikin]

yeah I agree. I need some "washed up" All-star in my bench ala Chavez/Andruw Jones.

Best choice in the free agency is Fukudome,Burell and Uribe in that category. Maybe I'll go for Fukudome and ditch Duncan cuz I need Dickerson for pinch running

[Sacrafice]

At the end of April with the Royals and doing pretty good for being the Royals. Rookie, Mike Moustakas is the real deal. If using the OS Spring roster and need a 3B/DH you need to take a good look at this guy. He is worth whatever you got to give up for him! He has played every game and has 40 some % of my teams home runs. Leads in walks, average, home runs and RBI's and runs and is near the top of MLB in each category. My pitching has been stellar leading the MLB in many categories, but at the bottom of most of the hitting categories, but has been hitting much better the last few games. I love playing with the team. Mainly because of the ex-brewers from the Greinke trade and all the great young guys and average MLB now guys I have to weed through. I do a franchise report, but it's only being posted at DSS.

Orioles uppdate.

Boston is silly in my franchise. I go 23-6 in May the go 26-4. They are in the middle of a 16 game winning streak. So they are 44-13 at the end of May. I sit 8.5 games back at 35-21.

Vlad has gotten hot on this West Coast road trip:
11-22 7 RBI, 1HR, 2 2B, 3B in just 5 games.

JJ Hardy is hitting .193 at the end of May.

I'm a homer but using Knight's roster with the O's is fun. Young pitchers and some quality prospects on the farm.
