Sometimes I think you get into "rebuild" or "next season" mode too quickly when in your winning window. Martinez would only get the extra roster spot if he fits the championship run, i.e. bench bat, super-sub, defensive replacement, base stealer, etc. Getting reps with expanded rosters on a contending team isn't likely in the thought process for the Cards here.

I personally love the critical situations. As long as a few full games are mixed in every now and then. I think the key is variety. That’s just my opinion. Gonna watch either way

The catcher position has definitely changed. Twenty years ago, it felt like they were primarily defensive, but they seemed to be solid on-base players. Nowadays, they can do it all. Unless they're on the Cubs. In that case, they can't do anything

To be fair it seems like the wind speed should be more prominent on the screen. I never play the show, is that something you can edit in the display options?

I think your ideas about pace are spot on, no need to see full games in may for example. Let’s get deep into this series

I agree with the comment a few videos ago. I know that the trade deadline is over, but many contending teams, if not all, are very willing to trade prospects, especially upper echelon prospects. I know it’s hard to part ways, and with how easy the trades in this game can be, but it’s a lot more realistic if you do trade some of those higher caliber prospects to gain some MLB ready players!

Yeah, I am willing to step my aggressiveness up. I still view Benny, Marino, and Lesko as untouchable. The tough part is finding Marino's spot in the short term because 1B and DH are filled. But I really want to keep him.

@@MrHurriicaneLP yeah, I understand the extremely high rates prospects like Matsumoto not getting traded, along with players you’ve already traded for. I’ve was mainly focusing on prospects that would be in direct competition with other prospects in roles that don’t have multiple spots like pitchers

I agree with the mindset of playing more crucial moments and player lock games instead of full games until the playoffs💯 Gets us through the long season faster being able to watch more prospects grow and develop, and the crucial moments will make for more exciting and intense moments🤷🏽‍♂️

Also consider checking the waiver wire weekly after the trade deadline, I’ve found starting RF and good relievers

i really wish mlb the show had it where you could see someone’s splits when they are traded like on baseball reference instead of just saying tot. Because it would be could to see how well Robert has been doing with just the cardinals and at the end of the season you can look back and see how much of a spark plug he has been.

That Reds "womp womp" music sounded like it was trying to be the NES Super Mario Bros. Game Over music, but they dont have the liscense to it, so they made that.

Offense still playing the hot and cold game with us.

The regression in this game makes literally no sense. Its like just SNIFFING 30 years old makes you forget how to hit and lose all ability to hit for power.

Yeah. The show really needs to figure out regression. Also retiring. What former everyday player would play until they are 40 at a 50 overall and be in double A

Gotta say the jump-in approach vs, full game is way more enjoyable as a viewer in my opinion. Season progresses quicker

Cane is KILLING it with the series. You’ve been pumping out content like crazy this week. Can’t wait for the eacfb25 content

29:30 min, A bit of Cane's Gold. Superb editing and Hubris

Mike Piazza made it important to be able to hit strong as a catcher. He was in the era of the ones you mentioned but basically put it on the map

32:02 that is an underrated joke 😂

Down for whatever format let's you get the best enjoyment/progress balance. This has been just as great as the As. And will mean even more when we get into the meat now. Looking forward to re upping my memberships when funds get looser lol

When I play day games @ the twins I can’t see the ball at all

That was the first time I've heard Luis Robert pronounced "Ro-Bur". I've always heard it "Ro-Bear".

The whole wind sequence was amazing. Playing the sad music over your own stupidity was great

I could be wrong, but I thought it was pronounced Luis Row-Bayer(all together)

I prefer the faster flow. Glad you enjoyed it. That’s the most important part!

For players like Fernandez, you should develop their discipline and contact, as these stats translate the best to sim hitting. Fernandez could eventually turn into a monster if you develop him right.

@rafaerana3674

Also, for guys like Darrell Marino and Jordan Walker, you should worry less about the defense and fielding and just continue to improve their bat and discipline/clutch to a point where they can be heavy hitters in the lineup before their development is finished and they reach their potential cap. A good bat will always outweigh good defense imo

I loved this style of episode. Both styles have been great but this was one of the more enjoyable ones! I'd like to see these types continue

Helluva game for Robert. All you needed was an inexplicable baserunning mistake to recreate the Sidney Jean-Charles experience.

I think we should just call him Lou Bob, and call it a day 😅

I play as the white Sox against my Friends because Luis Robert is my favorite player to hit with in the entire game

That first cubs game felt very true to the cubs form this year

Love this format

I always thought it was Ro-bear. Though I always just call him Lu Bob anyways

Love the pacing of this episode Cane

Saggese really does not wear gloves lol it’s badass!! 🤣🤣

Love the series! wish the seasons would move along a little bit quicker but just my opinion!

Nootbar is probably regressing because his potential is likely 85 so he can’t get better

bump up miller’s velocity because it has him sitting like 98 and he routinely sits 100+

Hey MrHurricane I love your podcasts. I started watching your content on the Madden 24 Saints Franchise and now this one. I love the sound of your voice because you sound like a professional announcer and you know what your talking about. You have excellent knowledge of football and baseball. By the way what did you give up for the Robert trade? He's awesome!

I predicted Gorman to hit 40 HRs in the first episode of year 3 so close to my prediction being accurate lol great episode!

I loved this EP format

I dont mind watching the longer videos i play ever game in my franchise 😁

my fav mlb series of 2024 by a mile

Best series on YT!

i know i’m gonna hate hearing you say luis name wrong for the rest of this series lmao

Gosh clase looks hard to hit. They really do make you feel it when you’re facing a big time closer

move Victor Scott to the 9 spot he was hitting so much better when he was in the 9 spot in both lineups

Never been so early honestly but I am here cane!

the super Mario sound effects had me cackling 😂😭

Love the content and everything his name is pronounce ro-bear

I much prefer the player lock and critical situation episodes as opposed to just one full game

No chance Walker could play some third with his fielding development? Way to get some of those hitting prospects to the show at first.

The reds stadium sounds like a video game

My suggestion would be play full games against division rivals early and late in the season and the first few wild card seeds through the middle months

Thank you, I know Robert was doing great with the Cardinals but didn’t realize how quickly he raised all of his stats

Where’s millers 101-102 mph fastball?

How about making Kopech a closer?

Hurricane full games should be for if you need a win to make the playoffs or the playoffs themselves otherwise I recommend only doing highlights and critical moments or player control

it’s ROH-BEAR lol not rober

Tom suh-geese

Ive never been so early it says no view yet.

Full games should be against stars or the best teams, otherwise save them for the playoffs and get us moving so that we can see those prospects. We want to see YOUR cardinals, not the cardinals

I feel like you may need to bump the pitching difficulty up. I can't really remember the last game you lost when you were playing a full game or player locking as a starter. I could be completely wrong but it feels like you haven't lost a game for a long time where you've pitched as the starting pitcher.

Nah go white Sox go cubs I hate cardinals because they are our rivals in MLB
