He has kopech as well lol

Fernandez’ high starting point for vision, discipline and clutch would make him someone I’d strongly focus on developing. He should definitely be starting as the DH at AA. He could develop a really nice bat if he can somehow get his power ratings to 50ish. It’s underwhelming but you could maybe even pigeonhole him as a DH and force all development on his bat rather than defensively.

Check out Scott Stapleton. An 18 year old catcher taken by the Dodgers with 97 potential. drafted late. THAT is a steal.

Love the trade acquisitions and I am very excited for how the direction of the series will go. I will say, to be fair to the cpu, I would make sure that the White Sox's Ace prospect gets a fourth pitch, he throws just three pitches as a high potential Prospect, and two of them are fastballs. Definitely make sure that he gets in the " pitching lab" this offseason!

Mason Miller should be a SP in the relative near future, this year as a closer is more of a rehab assignment. But it should be fun whatever route you chose for him!

Just FYI there was a bug in earlier version of the game where trades wouldn’t happen if you loaded a save that was within a certain date range in the season. They hotfixed this but didn’t mention this explicitly. But that’s why you saw trades go through this season compared to last.

With the Mets selling that hard as a Mets fan I'm really curious to see what their current roster looks like lol

I would like to remind you that the waiver wire does exist, and sometimes you can get some high potential backup players for the major league team to replace struggling backups like Loperfido

Love the trades! Never thought Luis Robert would be in The Lou but I'm all for it! Although I am disappointed with Lane Thomas. wanted to see the lane train get going.

Fernandez is one of those players in franchise that has the potential to compete for a batting title in the future. High contact, vision, discipline and clutch usually end up with higher average/OBP type players in franchise. If you were to try and focus all his development on his hitting with his 93 potential you may even be able to get his power into the 50s while having 80-90s contact as well.

galvan could move to 3rd, his overall probably drops, and he could develop more, but either way he’ll never really be where we need him to be

That is a fantastic trade

Loved the pace and format for the video

'Cane is on fire

The St. Louis White Sox

love the roberts and miller pick ups would have loved to see you draft that 3rd basement could have taken over 3-4 years from now

if victors struggles continue it’s probably best to move him down the order. good stolen base skills are only good if he’s on base to begin with. i’d even go with a more modern approach and possibly get someone like gorman or even robert to lead off, get more power higher up in the order. starting off a game 1-0 is always a big plus

Please develop Fernandez and his bat! His high starting stats are insane for clutch and development in discipline and contact vs R would turn him into a beast.

Fernandez looks alot more like a 2B than SS. His defence will take a long time to reach staring SS caliber, but he could be a good on base 2B

Excited with the trade and it was very unexpected. I will say, the Farm system is pretty stacked! Got room for more moves or can hold tight with the organizations future in the minors. Can't wait to see what shakes out Also, Lane Thomas is now a lame duck and some more trade capital Also, Also... just saw you used Thomas for a RP....lol let's go

Nice to see it wasn't just my White Sox rebuild where Robert underperformed and had to be shipped off.

Solid trades and solid results! Cards looking to compete this year.

Insane trade. Really splashy move. Let’s see how it works out!

While I don't hate the Robert trade, he didn't work out for me in my White Sox franchise. He would consistently only hit around .210 with 15-20 HRs. for me and his numbers in Cane's save looks about the same. Not exactly a star player. Hopefully it's better for Cane.

Someone tell Cane he could easily make Miller a starter.

I started a White Sox franchise a week or two ago and Luis Robert seemed fine (to me, who has very little baseball knowledge) in year 1. Then he had below a .240 average with 30+ home runs in year 2, and I think is currently below .200 in the first 10 games of year 3. Seeing you trade for him gives me a little pause, but hopefully he plays better for you.

According to ChatGPT this would only be the 2nd instance of 3 CG shutouts on a 3 game series: As of my last update, there is only one instance in Major League Baseball history where a three-game series featured three complete game shutout pitching performances. This rare occurrence took place from May 28 to May 30, 1913, when the Cincinnati Reds were shut out by the Philadelphia Phillies in three consecutive games. The Phillies' pitchers were Tom Seaton, George Chalmers, and Ad Brennan, who each threw complete game shutouts against the Reds.

@スターライト美奈子

27 күн бұрын

I would definitely caution against using AI tools as your only source for historic information. From my research, ChatGPT gave you very inaccurate information. The Phillies did not have 3 consecutive complete game shutouts of the Reds on the dates ChatGPT gave you, they didn't even face the Reds on those dates. They did face the Reds on May 20 to May 23rd, 1913 (with an off day on the 22nd), and they did win all 3 games but only one of those game was a complete game shutout thrown by Tom Seaton. During the dates ChatGPT provided, the Phillies were in the process of being swept by the New York Giants in a 4 game series. (series went from May 29th to May 31st, 1913, including a double header on the 30th) There were at least three instances I could find where a series had three consecutive complete game shutouts, the Minnesota Twins did this in 2004 from July 5 through July 7th, games 81, 82, 83 of the season, where they swept the Kansas City Royals by complete game shutout 3 games in a row. In the first game Brad Radke threw 102 pitches in 9 innings, throwing 4 strikeouts, allowing 4 hits, no walks, no runs, game two saw Johan Santana throw 114 pitches in 9 innings, with 13 strikeouts, allowing 3 hits, 2 walks, no runs, and finally game three Kyle Lohse threw 118 pitches in 9 innings, throwing 7 strikeouts, allowing 6 hits, no walks, no runs. A news article I found about the Twins consecutive complete game shutouts on The Herald-Times titled "Twins pitchers throw a triplet of shutouts" published on July 8th, 2004, mentions the Baltimore Orioles also had 3 consecutive complete game shutouts in 1995, that instance was not a 3 game series but across two different series, but searching for information on that led me to an article titled "September 7th, 1974: Orioles pitchers set AL scoreless innings record in Cleveland" about the 1974 Orioles, who also had 3 consecutive complete game shutouts in a series against the Boston Red Sox, the series included a Labor Day double header on September 2nd, and after an off day they completed the sweep on September 4th. The pitchers were Ross Grimsley, Mike Cuellar, and Jim Palmer. The Orioles actually continued with two more complete game shutouts by Dave McNally and Mike Cuellar for a total of 46 consecutive scoreless innings. That article mentioned that the five consecutive complete game shutouts is an AL record and is one short of the post-1900 NL record of six, by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1903. I found on Baseball Reference that the Pirates record consecutive shutouts included a 3 game series from June 4 though June 6th, 1903 against the Boston Nationals, the pitchers who threw complete game shutouts in that series were Irvin Wilhelm, Ed Doheny, and Deacon Phillippe.

I LOVE the Mason Miller trade! Lance really struggled but he's got room to grow

Hit after hit after hit with the new acquisition Luis Robert JR, cane on the money every time with that swing LFG!

Love the trade, but i'm gonna go insane if i keep hearing you call him Robert. His name has Spanish pronunciation "row-BARE"

I think u definitely need to have Nolan Gorman in the middle of your lineup. He tends to be an excellent player in franchise and if you play it right, you can see him become a 40 homer guy. Side Note: You've built a really terrific offense, super cool.

BANGER 🎉

I knew the trade was going to be an outfielder to replace Lane Thomas. I like the trade for Robert but I’m still surprised Lane was a dud signing

That v/d/c combo on Fernandez is a .280/.350 guy for sure. Get that D up or just play 2nd.

I live near the iron pigs and it’s just funny to see how none of the minor league stadiums are like the ones in real life

Jesus Fernandez makes up for your 1st rd bust already at 62 overall wit a 90 potential

If I was the White Sox I’d be PISSED 🤣 I woulda demanded either Matsumoto/Castilla or I’d say no deal

I think Fernandez should develop well bc of the high contact. He should mash AA pitching

With how eager The Show's been to prove Cane wrong at times, my contrarian streak has me sincerely hoping at least one of these "trade fodder" draft picks somehow goes on to become one of this franchise's cornerstones. I have disproportionately strong faith in you, Rolando Benitez!

Hopefully he throws home in tight games for you.

Good trades.

Would love to see Mick Abel’s ratings Cane.

Im not 100% sure but i think Jordan Walker was drafted as a 3rd baseman, so maybe he could be the Arenado replacement of the future, and a guy like Marino could take 1st.

When they rank these players in the draft, what are they looking at?? The number 1 overall player in this draft didn’t go til like 7th or something, they took somebody who I don’t think was in the top 10

LUIS ROBERT? Kenny close your eyes!!

Any thoughts of moving Jesus Fernandez to 2B?

Why does timing feel so much harder than pci hitting. Can anyone explain this

Im gonna miss Jerpie 😭

With the question marks around 3rd base going into the future; I would consider the possibility of Walker moving over there. I understand he's not the best fielder, but I think it allows you to utilize his arm strength to some degree. I doubt with how things are shaping in the outfield that we see him out there again, but it just feels like wasted talent with him at 1st
