OMG can this day go by any slower?! I'm sitting here bored off my ass wishing they had a new Baseball Game for PC. Looks like I'm going to go get another 360. Blah.
Dude, I'm just over a month into my 'Stros season on MLB 2K7. Astros are 26-3. Carlos Lee is batting .430 with 22 HR and 47 RBI.
You ought to play MVP Baseball 2005 with the 2007 Mod. New uniforms, updated rosters, stadiums and schedule. Not to metion all MLB stadiums with real signage (Beer signs, etc...not fake EA crap). It's awesome. Just like a game for 07 season.
ah yes, mvp baseball owns other baseball games, i play it all the time but havent upgraded anything, dont know how..
Heard this was the opening lineup tonight ... Biggio Everett Berkman Lee Ensberg Scott Burke Ausmus Oswalt I actually like putting Everett in the 2 hole as it allows Burke to be in a position to get up to bat with more runners on base. Just have to hope that Bidge or Everett can get something going ahead of Lance. Could be big trouble if Lance is always coming up with no one on. I think it's a risk worth taking however.
I'm really excited about this season. It sure would be nice to get the season started off with a win tonight.
I just don't see Everett as a viable option in the 2 hole, and nothing I've heard from Garner suggested he was going to do that; it was either the lineup we had last year or Ensberg in the 2 hole with Burke 6th. It just doesn't make sense to put in one of your weakest hitters right in front of your best hitters. I liked the Ensberg idea though, cause even if he's struggling w/ the bat he'll still take walks, which is of benefit to Berkman; what's not is coming up to the plate with 2 outs and none on.
Lineups for both teams from MMP Press Box. Pirates CF Duffy SS Wilson LF Bay 1b LaRoche C Paulino RF Nady 3b Bautista 2b Castillo P Duke Astros as RMJosh said 2b Biggio SS Everett 1b Berkman LF Lee 3b Ensberg RF Scott CF Burke C Ausmus P Oswalt
I think I might try that, I was hoping for something new that would be well.....prettier to the eye. I have MVP Baseball 2004. I'll try to find 2005.
Awesome....oh, and SCREW YOU 2K SPORTS! I hate them all, even EA. Those bastards for buying the rights to the sports. EA was cool enough to put the game on PC. But 2K.....
Well I guess maybe Garner's thinkin Everett will get better pitches in front of Berkman and might get on base more...and Burke will strenthen the back of the lineup. Whatever works.
And going through the spring box scores, AE batted 2nd in 4 games going a combined 2-12. If you're thinking of batting Everett 2nd, shouldn't you experiment more with it in spring training?
Unbelievable. I've been a MLBTV subscriber for years without any problems, but now it's saying I'm "blacked out" for the Astros even though I'm in the middle of freakin' Missouri. So, I guess no opener for me. Un-freaking-real.
Yeah I agree Everett is the worst hitter of the bunch, but some of his skills that he does have such as the ability to bunt could at least be utilized in the 2 hole.
That can't be right. I had that problem when I was on business travel in New Mexico last year, and the MLB.TV customer support guy said it messes up sometimes. He gave me some token to put on my computer that corrected the problem. I'd give them a call if I were you.
True. And I think it may have something to do with splitting Everett and Ausmus up so the bottom of the lineup isn't SOOOO weak.
I'm doing that, but I'm sure the demand is sky high with it being opening day, so I may be waiting quite a while...
