It's too bad I got on The Show bandwagon so late. I have loved playing it the past few weeks. Sadly thought with football et al. here I don't see myself playing too much baseball. I may play a few series from now until Spring and then sim to the end of the season before Show 15. I will miss you streams though as they were very entertaining. Look forward to them returning in Spring.
Thanks, buddy.
I'll be playing BAGM on NHL and Career Mode as a Manager on FIFA and I'll be streaming those.

The Astros saw their rally from a 6-0 deficit go to waste on Thursday night as they lost in 10 innings to the Mets, 7-6.
Domingo Santana hit 2 solo home runs to fuel the comeback after starting pitcher Alex White allowed 6 runs in just 3.2 innings.
White has struggled all Spring and Thursday night was no different. He allowed 8 hits and a pair of walks while striking out 3 to run his ERA to 7.77, severely diminishing his bid to be in the club's rotation.
With the final two games of Spring on the horizon (both with Texas), the Astros (11-14) cannot finish Grapefruit League play with a winning record. Saturday, Houston will send Jeff Locke (0-1, 4.34) to the hill to face Yu Darvish (3-0, 1.80). First pitch 7:05 PM.

Houston Manager Bo Porter sent lefty Jeff Locke to the hill for his final tuneup of the Spring on Saturday to face the Texas Rangers.
Locke, who was acquired from Pittsburgh earlier this Spring, struggled again. He allowed 4 runs (all courtesy of a pair of JP Arencibia bombs) on 5 hits while striking out 2. Porter had better hope his new pitcher works out the kinks before the games start to count next week.
Porter also deployed a lineup consisting of mostly bench and fringe players and they failed to produce. Just 3 hits from a group trying to earn a job with their final few at bats. Not very promising.
The Astros (11-15) will close or the Grapefruit League schedule on Sunday at 1:05 PM when they, again, square off with Texas (16-10). Luis Cruz (0-0, 1.42) will be given his first start of the Spring in the finale. Cruz will be opposed by Tanner Scheppers (0-2, 3.60).
TEX 4-6-0

The 2015 Houston Astros stumbled to an 11-16 record this Spring, ending with 4 consecutive losses and closing Grapefruit League play with a 2-1 loss to Texas on Sunday.
Domingo Santana had 2 of the Astros 3 hits, including a double and a run, to lead a what was another feeble offensive attack and seemingly secure his place on the Opening Day roster.
On the mound, lefty Luis Cruz made the most of his first start by pitching 5 scoreless innings, striking out 4 and allowing just one hit (an infield single that caromed off of the first base bag).
HOU 1-3-0
TEX 2-3-0

You made it with two weeks to spare before NHL. Well done buddy!
Loved this thread, read the whole thing, the stats were great,
I'm currently doing the same thing with the New York Yankees franchise season
Thank you, Bigshooter, and welcome to TGT. I am looking forward to picking up this Franchise next Spring when MLB 15 releases.
Right now, I'm too consumed with my Chelsea Manager Career on FIFA 15 to even consider MLB or getting started on a BAGM with NHL.
If you ever decide that you want to have your own thread like this one, go for it! We could always use a few more of these.

Just playing a little RTTS. I think I'll play a little between now and MLBTS15 just to get back in the swing.

Cleveland Indians at Houston Astros
April 6, 8-9
Minute Maid Park - Houston, Texas
Probable Starters
Game One - Monday 1:10 PM
Justin Masterson vs Jarred Cosart
Game Two - Wednesday 7:10 PM
Danny Salazar vs Brett Oberholtzer
Game Three - Thursday 1:10 PM
Francisco Liriano vs Asher Wojciechowski
The opening series of 2015 is in the books and the Astros managed to take 2 of 3 from the Cleveland Indians at Minute Maid Park.
Houston staff ace Jarred Cosart was masterful on Opening Day, going 7.2 innings of shutout ball while allowing 6 hits and a walk to go with 5 strikeouts.
As good as Cosart was in the opener, Brett Oberholtzer was equally awful in the second game. The lefty allowed 5 runs on 7 hits in just 2.2 innings of work.
Last season's September Sensation Asher Wojciechowski got mixed reviews for his game 3 performance. Wojciechowski went 6 innings and allowed 3 runs on 7 hits with 3 strikeouts and 3 bases on balls for a No Decision.
The biggest hit of the series came in the 7th inning of game 3 when Houston rookie Stanley Knott hit a 3-run pinch-hit homer to help the Astros overcome a 3-1 deficit and take the series. Knott was 2 for 7 with a homer and 3 RBI in the series.
First baseman Chris Carter was the star of the series at the dish for Houston. The 28 year old was 5 for 12 with a long ball and 2 RBI.
Jesse Crain was 2 for 2 in save opportunities, despite allowing a home run in his first outing.
CLE 1-7-0
HOU 2-9-0
CLE 7-12-0
HOU 1-3-0
CLE 3-8-1
HOU 5-7-1
The Astros hit just .207 in the series, compared to Cleveland's .260 and had just 4 extra base hits to the Tribe's 9. Those numbers will have to improve if Houston wants to keep winning.
The Astros pitching staff struck out 17 and walked 7, while Cleveland registered 19 and 6.
Houston will travel to Arlington to play 3 with the Rangers (4-0) beginning Friday.

I see Altuve and Springer are 84 OVR in your RTTS. What are they OVR on the regular 15 roster?
The dude abides.
Altuve is a 91. Not sure about Springer.
Following the Astros 6-5 loss to the Rangers in Arlington on Friday afternoon, reports surfaced that Houston has shown interest in trading for Dodgers reliever JP Howell. We'll keep you posted as this story develops.
