Unsung Hero On Opening Day! Season 2 - MLB The Show 23 Franchise Mode (Dynamic) -MAIN STREET PUGS

Okay, welcome back to

season

two, so I'm not going to spoil too much of what we did, we did well in free agency, let's just say we overspent a little bit, but I mean, you can even check our budget, I want say, Jesus, it's okay. we have 16 left for the available budget, so we're actually going to assume okay, yeah, we're just going to start as brothers. I thought we were in spring training, but no, yeah, we're not good, let's finish the

season

. on the way uh, you know, uh, yeah, scouting, it's automatic, yeah, welcome everyone, a well-known ladder, okay, uh, oh, shut up, okay, so let's finish the first Minnesota game, like this that so far we are three and five, oh my God, John zombie. along with Chris Singleton, we'd like to welcome those who simply tune in to watch it live, you're just in time.

Aaron Savali comes back to start the eighth with a shutout in the wars and there's a hit here's the throw to the plate and he's down and that ends the inning so man we kept all of our

main

pieces that we just added and a pitch and that one failed oh my god I swear I changed the shirts I like I swear to God I must have restarted. for deals at the end of the season, yeah, there's strike nine, Caleb, because it would go all the way to free agency, you know, and one and two would have signed people, so I went through three, uh, free agency like five times. just because it didn't save anything from uh, it didn't save, it never auto-saves, which is weird because it's like I get to certain points that are crucial moments like for agency one, for agency two, start Jacob, that should have been .

I should I've been out of here um but my God I swear the belt and the shots are there and there's one away so the batting order changes now it's shortstop Justin the kid yeah so three and Five isn't exactly where I expected us to be. We significantly increased our star rotation to return. We added some good relief with solid relief pitching, so I guess I'll have to do it to get them up a man with a one-ounce single. I just have to figure it out because I don't. I don't know what's going on, oh that'll make you feel good as a hitter right there, besides throwing one into space or throwing one over the wall, they have a lot of hits that are more satisfying than a good Line Drive in the center field, so it definitely felt good.

I'm not going back to Primera and they will keep it close. Alright. I'm not going to steal our problems from Primera again. It's okay and once again he is back safely. right, I won't, I won't, I won't now, here's number five and that's down and away, the kid, the base runner on first, standing back there, I'm trying to read some statistics and he is. Again we have uh, I mean, no, we're not bad, very bad, the 1-0 swing and a miss when he was in front, that's locating the um, yeah, I mean, Dustin is good. The next stop, well this was again looking at the the shots match where you expected offense and not as unbalanced as this one, um, but yeah, you definitely expected to see some offense, very good, they shot very well, very well first and second with just one away, oh this has been a really good game at the plate for him, he seems locked in, you can't do much better than that on a pitch so far out of the strike zone that had him chasing in the two strike count, but he wasn't fooled, he really hit that ball. well, shohei Otani up to the plate oh no, there's one in the air in right field.

The runner hits third not in time, he's safe and now center fielder Dan doesn't exactly burn the debut you want. They just felt bad, what did he do? Oh God. God, perfect location. Just, oh, that's a little early. He should run three runs, two away and one pitch swings and throws the monkey to left center, that backs up a little more. We take those race scores from first and it's a double. digit lead as they are up by 10. Joe Kelly comes in now. Joe Kelly's scoring just doesn't have the same intensity, but he has to find a window because these hitters count the same toward his stats, obviously, regardless of scoring number. 44 stops here let one from the inside easily kick and shoot in the right field of the air oh no Scrabble in the run and that will be the last chance for the home team here is Christian Arroyo honestly there is a big, bad strike right here he the team took until he got a strike now he has to go to work shorten that swing a little do whatever it takes to get to base 2-1 it's okay to get tired one down here is Eloy Jiménez uh uh fix the first one that goes back for the middle and he does a good job right there, he was ready to swing on the first pitch, he just kept it simple, played with Pepper in the middle of the infield and took it back to where he came from and there's just no one. there to take him down Jack Swing turned around that's strike two Jacob you gotta get there Jimenez opens first with one away oh now a scream in the outfield oh burning stops him on the run so it's his last chance on this Gavin covers the next to him, the first pitch and that's for a strike, certainly doing his best on the mountain, stops that streak, comes up empty, that's strike two, just one strike away in the blocks of ground, throws to first, but he was We're not going anywhere in a century, marks 100 pitches for this game, good legs, it's become increasingly difficult to pitch a complete game shutout because of all the offensive prowess these hitters are

Good evening to those who join us in this live. watch the

show

i'm john shamby alongside chris singleton you're just in time shohei otati will bring half the order to the plate just one run i think that's the problem i just love him so much oh swinging a helicopter eat it oh my god it was a healthy cod, but the same can be said for the contested game and that's all it needed, a tough game for the defense in what was a kind of swing to get the first strike. deep here trying to avoid anything over their heads oh with two strikes you can see some movement there at first base trying to stay out of a double play here in the dirt but they kept a close relief right there I mean just to keep that speed off the base pass, it's not just the pitcher, it's other guys that have to think about it, from your infielders, you have to think about the runner that potentially steals, but also be in position to make a play As an outfielder, you're thinking about a hit to the field.

I had to do it quickly to try to prevent this guy from taking an extra base, so I think everyone is a little more relaxed because he didn't reach base number 44 until the next moment when he stops for a ball run and practically win. we line drive base head makes the turn on second heads for third coming home he scores a lot today on it certainly a fundamental bat move and we also got a few seconds and he did exactly what you're supposed to do with that drive it's the other way around Oh new arm from the man named Cardinals Steven Matz, he has an incredible breaking ball and is definitely one of his go-to pitches when he needs it.

I mean, you can twist a socket even if you put the kid in second gear and it comes loose. also gets hard on the ground on the shore, chat takes him to First, he's out, okay, I don't mind going to the extras, Park, I mean, hey, this guy's got history, he went up there looking to be aggressive and he got something he could handle a good job driving that. He throws across the line, you know, hitters take so many reps in the cages working to go to the opposite field and it doesn't always come into play, but there he did it and he did it perfectly amazing and now the lefty oh honey, oh, You're giving me that to score from third.

I'm telling you, at the end of the season I saw the ball differently, so at the end of the season it was good, very nice, the whole team was scoring runs. we were having people in two days, one of three locked in right now, a running game here in the ninth, he's on top, it looks like the weather might factor into this one, he's going down pretty good, yeah he is, and no It's still so bad. but the field won't be able to hold up if the rain gets any worse than this, so keep an eye on the pitcher's mound as well and the rest of the infield will start to pile up a little bit one two now they don't want.

Look at Justin and the 302 this year, they come two against two outs, now you don't take them to Goldie, who is number three. Good job Jacob, that was a good hit to the bottom of the knife. Hernandez, oh well, warm this guy up. not seeing this, yes, or a change, any of the actions, whatever it fails and it's one and two, he listens again. I don't mind doing extras, yeah, that's too high a way to leave out that asphalt right there. Looking for something that you see well and that you can handle, but you also have to

main

tain the discipline to not throw pitches that are a little too high, next pitch in and the count is full, terrible pitch to throw, but yeah, one.

Well Brooke, I'll tell you when I go watch the videos, he's going to want to punch himself, that slider had hit me and he clearly got too excited, he was in front, I'll tell you what? You get a pitch like that, you can't miss it, the bulls have a chance to go very far and there are two far, it's that the initial offering, you know, this guy's great velocity is in the back of the pitcher's mind, if he can moving forward, will give He has one more thing to think about about a one-run lead here in the last half of the ninth inning.

This is where I would normally say we should throw a slider, you know, right across the plate, maybe catch it, banana in, get a pop. -up foul territory on the right side and that will fall foul I don't know uh quickly the tying run at the plate or not uh how are you practically staying a lot have the batter aware of the top pitch inside I really think the outside half is open. Look, he's the lefty. Lance Lynn will take over here. He's making his fourth appearance of the season, with no extra bases and gets there with a two-out triple time.

It's a tremendous fight on his part and I know what's going on here. ball game Nolan Arenado goes deep and the Cardinals turn on and win 3-2 in fact, don't just forget about that, forget about this scoring position at the bottom of the nine, number five now at the plate trying to deliver is the

hero

that what I'm talking about, Genies, you're not going to make that Runner pitch, sir, you're not going to make that girl take the throne, you're not going to make that JD pitch and double and the winning run is on second base.

A great moment for him and his team, he has a chance to absolutely do it, but he didn't let the moment get to him, he came up with the RBI that took down his teammates, the chance to put this away with the win if they can drive another run, here's johe Otani and a swing to miss, oh my god that's it. his swing didn't really connect he's trying to fall behind for something off speed activity in the bullpen getting ready to throw missed pitches there and the count is one and two oh two pitches way out of the Zone gives the hitter a little confidence that maybe he can return to this attack, he moves away a little.

Rodriguez collects fires so that the third strike doesn't hurt him and that's it, but they get a run, we're happy with it in extra innings, here's the Pirates catcher now. Andy Rodriguez and a hit right there and the starting man on board and they rushed him into first and third now with nobody out so they held the runner at third they wanted to play it safe what do we think is going to come back to bite him boy? it's hard to say that the runner in second place to start the extras is essential, you have to make sure that they don't score the city and they will surely guess and now Ryan Bliss 100 fails, we want to get this good, it's kind. of going flat in the bottom of the ninth, so here's another chance, the next pitch in and now 3-1.

I think ultimately what you want is to tie him up, get the ball up the plate so he can't reach it with the cannon and hit it to the field. I mean, I'm happy, I'm happy with either one, the batting order of the Pirates change now, the key hitting Brian Hayes in the dirt, I'll stay put, that's ball one, two, three balls, no strikes to count, I really have been able to. to slow the game down tonight with his drive, the biggest he's ever had, hold the zone, ground out, left side, could be two, the kid, that's what I'm talking about, wait oh man, way to work guys , way to work exactly where he wanted that. textbook 643 double play gets out of the way for Beat It Dugout dude he's killing it today in the mountains by MVP sure oh damn here's Dan oh baby and we got a good one I'm a and the first offer is canceled like a pitcher no, the runner on second is ready to push things with this speed, a base hits a little early, sothat you really have to execute in the bush, yes, a foul ball, no, my God, no way, O2 swing and a miss, no way, I ruined it. too much on that, so next number 44.

The outfield plays very deep not wanting anything to cross their mind, oh yeah, all night, tonight, that's a pretty fried fastball right there. I'll tell you what memories of being trapped come to mind. right now There's no fly ball on the line, the bet sets up under this one, he throws it down and makes the catch and a couple of quick outs, oh my gosh, absolute meatball man, that's a frustration, yeah, around the second to start the inning was a big move for baseball in 2020. So, Chris, how has that changed the way relievers approach these innings well?

I don't think it's that we've proven, hey, someone else's mess is definitely not ideal, but the best relievers appreciate challenges like this, let's just take them home. oh my god, he was like you, I mean, we're talking about pop -oops, man, very easy, we just gave them this ticket, we didn't give them anything to work with, call that a strike, I don't know how. You think that's his, it would have scared me. As he swings, oh, I missed him ugly here at the stadium, here's Ben, he bet the pitch and the first bid is the base, he had to fold.

Extra Innings certainly had a different feel from 2020 with a new rule placing a run around the second to start the inning and that forced teams to rethink their strategy and extra frames, yes, much less, I caught your dismay, there is no a lot of sacrifice, bunting teams usually try, we're not going to check, certainly not so much for the road. team as they try to play during the big inning, but for the home team, if the away team does not score, you will see the home team bunt at times, Reynolds, the next to bat, goes out, the go-ahead run is in second and that one batted to first and he handles it well himself, there is a lot at stake in that at-bat, good job by the pitcher for Bear Down, making the pitch, getting the ground ball, excellent job and the first offer is rejected, it seems that You I got a little excited about that fastball, I had to think you want to stay up there, oh come on man, this one swung and hit well back there, good job, he gets it out on the warning, another three outs, another three good outs in the third. point guard DeCosta Parker has a chance to finish it, hey, Oviedo's back to work, there's a strike, he hasn't been throwing so well 190 runners in scoring position, not a single hit comes to right and the winning run stops 90 feet away from the plate, no one out in the right field. ready to go home first and stop that run from scoring the next offer up, the next offer misses a huge opportunity right here, but I love the way he's slowing down the game, he's slowing down his making sure he gets the pitch he wants hit, you know.

It's bad, he has to get a better pitch to hit, that's the third payment to First and that's a great first and now first baseman Parker Bernard, you're walking Jacob asking for the intentional walk and that loads the bases and the forced play. now it's in order wow i mean yeah forced play is in order but you just gave me a kid no you gave me a 300 hitter this year oh it's sad to see it there it's a little out of place , no, I moved it, I moved it down. also and the winning run from third will count one and two, the best you want, I wouldn't expect it when the game she's up in the zone, they'll throw into a double play in this spot, yeah, the righty doesn't fight here while fouling.

He's gone, oh, even a pop fly would have won us the game, I think that does it, I think he wins it, he's under it, he falls into it, he's too far away, he's too far away, oh my God, that's how it's done, That's how you do it, boys, bats, when you know it. You gotta get the ball, join us for this live concert on the show. I'm John Shelby with Chris Singleton. You arrive just in time. Luis Severino returns to start the eighth with a shutout in the works. Garcia, the runner. at second with a swing away and a high fly ball down the right field line Joe boy throws it down.

The runner marks for third and moves to third now two away and was going to run. He should leave it. He should have slept. around in the play Sam Hunt nice, location, tie race is 90 feet away, then offered up on the ground to Third, okay, keep going across that ends the frame, oh God yeah, new picture, so they are looking for quality releases from them. Here I have to do everything I can to keep the scoreboard right where Bernard is at the plate. Now that's the first ball. They love this guy all the time. The next shot misses and it's 2-0.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, there is no way that is going to happen. catch on the track, how come that doesn't come out of here? What am I supposed to do? Justin, the boy who is, as they like to say, light. Tower Power, he's not a big guy, but he's got a big swing and thunder on that backside. Now the launch at first start barely. I got it for the close play Hey man, four pitches, two outs, that's in great rhythm and here's number five, oh oh yeah, too high. He slides it along three up, three down, in and welcome back and now it's Victor Robles.

Okay on his way out he gathers and throws tonight a great play to take away the man advantage well he hit the bunny he couldn't execute yeah I think he rushed a little when the guys rushed after me I realized in a moment. position the player on the bases so now one and two great job spinning the baseball moving it doing what it does here's Alex Verdugo oh Dugo he's definitely looking at this in an upward direction alright right where it is I wanted, what are we looking at? and it looked a little early he's sitting he's sitting on it oh he's on that dude I mean he's seeing it he's seeing it Severino kicks deals that are tough on the line and that's the ball game a really incredible performance in the mound and you know it's going to get a little cooked there, he's already homered in this game, oh well, that's easier for me to set up the double play, the intentional walk will be first and second with one lost, looks like we have a substitution.

At first, Elijah Green, pinch-running, and the Burn hit hits him home and he's safe. A great moment for him and his team. You know how some guys just hold on too hard in a big spot like this and have a chance to tie it? He left in the bottom of the ninth, but he didn't let the moment get to him, he came up with the RBI hit and now he's giving his teammates a chance to come away with the win if they can get another run in. the plate. oh, Justin is all, but they say it was in the transfer and he hit one to the catcher, there's the strike and the hitting like this is almost over, since he made him swing for the K, he pulled the changeup rope now in the ball game.

Back in Washington D.C. and now Dan Byrne, you know the right-hander went back to work, you blew that lead in the bottom of the ninth, so here's another chance, hit the reset button, try to get more runs and then close it out at the bottom. half of this hit a line drive, hit the runner around third on his way to the plate, he'll score easily and he's 6'5, it's a deadly combination, these teams have been lucky against Dan Finance and how do you approach the decision like it's just the pop. matchups like, look at that perfect that should be considered perfect, perfect to hit up the middle, maybe it would just fall on the one and two count and that's awfully close.

I don't know how he takes it that he is seeing the ball away from the pitcher. hand really good right now maybe one ball two five oh yeah Machado on third the thing was just dancing the next bid is a low low ball and that's in they're not really giving you that there I think it was a purpose pitch really like that the batter's feet are uncomfortable and that placement will definitely make it perfect, man, and it tops it. He goes up to second, he's out, yes, to second with two missing. He found a way to hit that ball on the third base line, that's really great.

Back control goes back. to all those drills you see hitters do off the tee where they set up in different spots, that was just nice, yeah, hitter guy swings through that one, two down at the bottom of the zone, bye , and that is broken at the left base, goodbye. -bye, the throw to second, I'm crashing, it made him fall for two, two runs. Sure here at Nationals Park, we're in extras here, John Smith stands there, do a good job for his strike, strike, an activity in the Washington Bullpen. Justin Brule, the old lefty, seems to be getting ready.

I wouldn't run Bud warming up too. There is no problem here. He hooks it to the owl and there is one below. Good luck to Washington. Toby Welton has good power in the opposite field. What happens to something that is hit to the right side in the outfield? Does the baserunner at second have a very good read and can determine whether or not he can score on that hit? Change your eye level right here change the high level that overlooks the area. and it's two and two, there's JD, heads-up, this is a big road win, we got a lot of momentum, but I think
