MLB The Show 22 Pittsburgh Pirates Franchise Mode Ep. 1 | Starting the Rebuild

[@BravesClipzz]

Fun Fact: Anthony Alford was actually a 4 STAR QB out of Petal High School and played at Southern Miss and Ole Miss. He went to play baseball after his football days were over. He was a phenom in both sports back in the day.

[@ronaldherrin6470]

i do not watch MLB or play the show i’m gonna be watching this series with around the same understand level as a golden retriever watching the stock market let’s go baby i’m hyped 🔥

[@Zbell10]

Great comment

[@SomeRandomGuyX]

Golden retriever 😂

[@thestripedgoat7178]

Lol

[@R2_Xerxes]

Same for me

[@GaryForMVP]

Bro same 😂😂

[@grahame5867]

Please try and go through with this series Bengal. I remember how excited I was for padres franchise.

[@Bengal]

i do what i can but i feel that if i dont enjoy it, whats the point of uploading bad videos I dont like? But I will try even if the series becomes a little unorthodox

[@Puruvian]

@@Bengal btw, mlb the show franchise is worse than any other

[@taylorsteffens2086]

@@Puruvian I think you meant Madden

[@salineslugger]

@@Bengal I understand your point, just know that we will enjoy this series anyway and I hope you do to and I think we’ll all understand if you choose to stop the series, this franchise mode is not good lmao

[@ddager20]

@@Bengal you could make a Yankees franchise and many would enjoy it. If franchise isn’t your thing in the show however, no reason to pursue it. I happen to be a pirates fan so this franchise could be very exciting for me but I watch almost of all of the vids on both channels because you’re entertaining. You’ve created such a great community that you can make almost anything

[@JynxzisSon]

So excited for this franchise!

I'm still playing my MLB 19 franchise with the Pirates. I'm currently in the year 2035, playing almost every single game. I think I'm gonna finally move on to MLB 22 this year. Really hope you keep this series going!!

[@adamgall7294]

Couldn’t be more excited for this

[@ant2737]

As someone from Pittsburgh, the whole city thanks you for finally doing what no one could for so long now

[@adamhawn2523]

I am also doing a rebuild of the Pirates. Oneil Cruz won NL ROY in ‘22 and already have them 14th overall after one offseason. Drafted a 5’8” 173 lbs CF prospect with the no.4 pick with big time power and signed Aaron Nola, Joey Gallo, Josh Bell, and Mitch Haniger in free agency. Also traded to bring Austin Meadows back during the ‘22 season. Also skinny Conner Scott was already an invite to 2023 spring training.

[@raff6147]

This series is my first exposure to the MLB and it’s literally teaching me everything

[@TryPuttingItInRice]

Excited for this. Hopefully it goes on for a long time.

[@senyourkoolaid4496]

was looking for a show franchise to watch to determine if i wanted to buy this game. Thank god bengal has a series

[@kingwolfgaming3007]

as a pirates fan, IM SO EXCITED THANK YOU BENGAL!!!!

[@touchelupe1169]

As for recommendations probably go for more realistic trades. For example when the Yankees traded for Donaldson and IKF there have been rumors of Gleyber being traded. In addition maybe someone like Frankie Montas from the A’s since they are looking to salary dump.

[@ghostyzf5708]

So as a person who stopped paying attention to baseball about 5 years ago and knows nothing going on in the league, thank you Bengal. All my attention is in the NFL but maybe you can make me interested in the MLB again

[@liamwillmann36]

You should turn the pitching up to legend. I put mine on legend and it’s sometimes still pretty easy. Should make the series more entertaining and realistic I hope.

[@jacksonlafeir1937]

excited for the franchise, but can you also do a video on cards to invest in? i’m tryna play that market early on

[@PokeDaBearUSA]

Between this and riverside I’ve got plenty of bad ass content to watch. Thanks bengal!!

[@kadenkoontz]

Yessir, so exited for this series

[@Josiah_Parr]

Can't wait for the series, and love all the content!

[@CoachWilli23]

cant wait to continue watching this series, i would suggest moving camera to one of top corners so we can see bat timing and pci placement.

[@MISTERLOLCRACKERS]

This is gonna be fun to watch. I live near Altoona, so I've been to a lot of Curve games.

[@zemiguelaf]

I'm from Portugal. I have never seen a single game of Baseball, but I am excited to watch and learn with this series. Let's Gooooo!!

[@jordanstackpole6837]

“Clear the deck, cannon ball coming” is the only way to call pirates home runs

[@tylernorwood2283]

Gonna love this series ! Pump out as many videos as fast as you can I love it

[@dannymarcinko6790]

I would consider turning off pinpoint pitching if you want pitchers to perform accurately. It’s really easy to dominate against the cpu with pinpoint with even low attribute pitchers (like Roansy did in this vid)

[@CMS_-bw2wu]

What would be the most accurate pitching setting be then? I like to play accurately to a players skills in franchise so I would love to know.

[@aidanrogers6767]

@@CMS_-bw2wu I am super late but I would assume classic pitching mode is most accurate because it relies directly on the pitchers stats

[@cjg333]

Quick counts on for the Franchise would be cool, that’s what I use. It shortens the time per game a bit and would keep the series interesting, allowing you to play more games.

[@Scubydiver]

Let’s gooooo!!!!! Was hoping you’d do your rebuilds on the show

[@ErensN]

This is what we've been waiting for!

[@t.lmayorga7105]

Great video. Keep up the incredible work. Have a great day everyone

[@poocrafter2]

I only started watching the videos on this channel 2 days ago but the moment I saw this in my recommended I dropped what I was doing cause I know it's going to be great just like the Lions and Riverside Royals franchises.

[@CanalDoSaochuk]

Great to see my Pirates in this franchise and all of our top prospects getting some action

[@rossv4032]

I’m so excited for this series

[@jasonorenstein3112]

I needed a new series to watch…so hyped to get an MLB franchise from you

[@curtisrogers2721]

Dont know much about baseball, but willing to watch for Bengal

[@tannerseaman1]

Thank you Bengal I’ve been asking for this for a couple years!

[@jwt2345]

This is so cool! Really glad you’re doing this, you’re the best at this!

[@anthonyg.9089]

This is going to be my favorite series you’ve done yet, I’m from Pittsburgh so I’m a big Pirates fan myself. Very excited about this!!! I say look into possibly calling Roansy up later on in the season if he continues to play this good

[@ColeMoney5]

Love this series, can't wait for more of em

[@danysheply527]

As a pirates fan Once Austin meadows went up I instantly said please don’t bring up the trade and ya did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Over 420 feet and that was blazed out of here”😂

[@dizzybee9298]

Ngl I’ve been waiting for you to give franchise in this game a shot

[@TheCkittle2518]

looking forward to this, man. as a pirates fan I appreciate the knowledge you seem to have of the team. I was not super stoked how they rated a lot of the prospects though. Castillo raked in spring training and is probably winning the 2b job. Smith-Ngigba and Mitchell were way under rated. Peguero and Gonzalez is your future middle inclined. pirates have purposely brought them up together and are best of friends. Mason Martin should probably be at least a mid C rating at 1b. potential future 1b. massive power, high strikeouts. and Endy Rodriguez is the #6 prospect and just outside MLB top 100. Florida state league MVP and capable of catcher, 1b, lf, rf, and is being worked in at 2b some this year.

[@TheCkittle2518]

Cruz is going to end up as either a DH or corner outfielder. that is how/why Peguero is future ss.

[@TheCkittle2518]

also Matt fatizier was the Pirates prospect of the year 300 avg and a 30/30 season. really broke out last year.

[@Kepy]

This series is gonna be goated.

[@Connor-z7t]

MOVE your CAMERA to the TOP LEFT!🙏

[@Mick3y_0526]

The bedinars are just beasts!! David’s brother Will plays for the giants and is amazing! Left Miss State to a national championship last year!

[@roncatto5378]

Best advise for scouting. 2 Days per type (RH VEL, COM, CLUTCH ETC ETC ETC). Then 3 days per indivdual ones. You should have 20/25 fully scouted by Draft day. I normally focus on those that MLB ready closer to current season

[@roncatto5378]

Sorry 30/35 not 20/25

[@Josiah_Parr]

Just got to watch the video, and my only consideration you actually covered. I'd love to see some minor league coverage, even if it's just a couple minutes of going through team stats and league leaders. That's a great way to build storyline for future seasons. Maybe find those who need a change of scenery from other teams too?

[@ethandossantos9801]

Hopefully more people come on over to the 2nd channel so they can enjoy another great franchise series you the goat bengal

[@iamsaaaam]

I’m all for GM Bengal. Bring the pirates back to greatness!

[@LuckyNemo03]

First time seeing bengal outside of madden and it’s strange seeing him be very good in game haha

[@ChknShut]

Got to watch Nick Gonzales a few times in Greensboro. He was pretty damn good all season long. He and Shackleford carried the team to the championship series

[@neilpeat7096]

I love how angrily Vogelbach throws it to the catcher after outs

[@Football1439]

as a pirates fan, im really excited to see what gonzales can do. got to see him while he was in High A last summer and liked what i got to see

[@Equivalate]

Ant said in a recent video that he usually sets Scouting to auto. Though he does hire new scouts too, which is a must imo. Great stuff otherwise. You've definitely impressed me with your knowledge on MLB guys as well!

[@letsgohokies9925]

He manually scouts for his actual franchises auto for rebuilds

As a pirates fan…Park, Castillo, and Martin deserve better potential grades. They all have potential to be decent MLB players. But I’m super excited for this franchise series, really looking forward to it.

[@Sobierxlski]

Smith Njigba and Suwinski deserve better potential grades too. Even if you bump them up to a B or C grade, I don’t think any of them deserve D grades.

[@patrickpenalver3986]
