QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 5, 2015 -> 07:52 AM) How many minor league levels does MLB The Show 15 have? AAA and AA

Sale finishes 20-3 with a 1.50 ERA and 275 strikeouts en route to his first Cy Young. Samardzija will finish the year with a 3.90 ERA. Tyler Flowers will hit 20 home runs.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 4, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) New Ludacris CD came out. Has a few really good songs on it, but about half of it is "meh". That's ludicrous.

2 more days. Can't wait

I'd prefer Avi batting 5th, but maybe he will on Monday. However this Charlotte lineup today may be our Opening Day lineup.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 3, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) The Sox really really need Garcia to be a good hitter. He can make or break the lineup. I have confidence in him. I think we may see a .275/25/80 type of season from him.

Last year's Opening Day Thread was made a week in advance, so I figured three days wouldn't be too bad. Kansas City on Monday- high of 73, but a 50% chance of rain. :gosox1: :gosox1: :gosox1:

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/583669195511967744 Read into this meaning Drabek is #7 in the pen? Or maybe they want to give him more opportunities to show that he's MLB ready before the season. It's also amusing how whoever makes those always misspells "Putnam".

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Apr 2, 2015 -> 09:14 AM) Very nice. But it was a bit sad to see that Beckham has a spot. At least is was pretty isolated, right?

The locations are listed in the tweets.

The lefty HR glitch from yesterday only happens when it's LaRoche now.

Good thing I remembered it was April Fools Day before I opened this. Last year, it was "Sale out for season with torn UCL" or something like that, and I fell for it.

The main glitch I found is when I hit a HR with a left-handed hitter on the Sox (so far LaRoche twice, Gillaspie once, and Melky as a lefty once), the commentator instantly starts talking about how Jeff Samardzija is no longer on the A's.

Does anyone have it yet? Mine should be here in a couple hours, according to the UPS tracker thing

To all who say that we have holes at C, 2B, 3B, and RF... I'd argue that none of those are holes, except maybe 2B. You can't expect every position to be played by an all-star caliber player. Those particular positions aren't covered by all-stars/proven, above-average players, but they are definitely not "holes".

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 30, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) Ugh, it looks nothing like him. Just a generic face. Thanks, Zoom, for the link to the video. I guess that last shot's not awful, but most players are completely identical to their real selves. That looks more like MLB 10 than 15. Strange.

MLB 15 shipped... can't wait!

89-74, they win the tiebreaker against Detroit

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 29, 2015 -> 12:47 AM) What does this even mean? Surkamp isn't making the team because he's not one of the best seven relievers. I think he was referring to Duke/Jennings/Rodon

Good, saw that one coming
