This is the first time you’ve done a franchise of one of my favorite teams and they desperately need a rebuild. Can’t wait!

[@CadChamberlain]

Im shocked Tink Hence does not have that high of a potential. Hes one of the top pitching prospects. If you want his updated pitch mix, here it is. 4-Seam that averages about 94-95 with high break. Change up in the high 80s with extremely high break, its his out pitch. Mid-80s slider with decent break but lacks command. He also throws a curveball that has shown flashes but he doesn't use it often.

[@CadChamberlain]

Just look at MLB's prospect pipeline and the Cardinal's top prospects profiles, it gives you a breakdown of their pitch repertoire.

[@joedavis2613]

MLB the show is horrible at getting prospects accurate.

[@shanemcivor9547]

Yeah, I follow the Rockies and their farm system is horribly underrated

[@mespn520]

Woah, that Andre Pallante has 99 Velocity and 99 Break

[@chinopinowarrior9022]

Really looking forward to a bit more pace in the beginning, just as long as you don't go too fast so we give the existing players on the roster a chance to connect before ushering in the new guys. It is partially what made the end of the A's franchise long sim so special. Seeing Kendrick Haynes and Gunnar Hoglund revive their careers were special cause we saw them be mediocre for the A's Looking forward to this series so much!

One of the best jersey sets in the MLB. PERIOD. Pumped for this series Cane!

[@Adrian.006]

I think the 1st season is sorta important so we can get used to the players. 2nd and 3rd season, you should show more of the minor leagues so we can get used to and familiar with the new players

[@mattpierson3435]

Cane I’ve been a long time sub, and I’m currently watching my Redbirds play the padres and I see this. I am beyond EXCITED to watch this video.

[@Meemeeseecoo]

Sweet. This motivated me to get my own franchise going, looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

[@RhythMan2112]

I know it’s unintentional, but I love that the two teams after your first major channel rebuilds are the Cardinals in their respective leagues. Absolutely can’t wait to see what this rebuild entails!

[@barrytravis6235]

Great choice of team for the series. I'd get through the first 3 years or so pretty quick, focus on the decline of the older guys, the trade returns and the drafts....then we'll get to see more of the draftees and trade pickups

[@jihyotwice3159]

Please continue this series. As a Cardinals fan, I think they are in quite a bit of quandary right now. They are a franchise with a lot of history that are still trying to figure out the analytics system and eye test. Tbh, I am not a big fan of Oli Marmol with all his drama with Tyler O'Neill and Wilson Contreas. Mike Shlit kept all the drama within the clubhouse but his insistence not to embrace analytics was a major problem. We also failed to develop our young talent to a star level, if it was Jordan Walker, Maislin Wynn, or Victor Scott II nor any of our pitchers prospects such as Jordan Hicks, Jack Flaherty, and Jordan Montgomery, etc. Loved your assessment of the current team being too old.

[@zac.rilegious]

Like many other Cards fans have pointed out, your roster assessment is spot on. Although it has it's glaring holes, I think this roster has enough exciting young players to build a team around. With the right moves, this team has the potential to be great and give LA a run for their money. Extremely excited for this series and can't wait to see where we are in 100 episodes!

[@nick4acre]

It’s wild I used to watch your Vikings videos what seems like 15 years ago. Being a Cardinal fan as well, I’m going to watch every one of these. Glad to be back buddy. Keep up the good work

[@tobyrorrer3454]

Great to see you back. I still miss the A's but nice to see you're doing another one. Should be fun

[@justinriley7193]

Absolutely can't wait to watch over 100 episodes of a new series! Also as a Missouri home stater and Cardinals lover. I'm super excited for this series!

[@emcee6915]

Its a shame they still don’t have Sydney Jean-Charles

[@jaek8479]

Can we get the Jean Charles from the career mode added to the farm system lol

[@waldmanj]

We’re back!!! Can’t tell you how excited I am for the next MLB the Show series. The Oakland A’s franchise was one of my favorites you’ve ever done, and that’s coming from a football fan(not taking away how great your madden series are)

[@hunteryork7482]

[@trajan5560]

I am giant Cardinals fan and loved your A’s series! looking forward to this

[@DukeExemplo]

As a lifelong Cards fan, I think your assessment of our last decade and our current team was spot on. It sounds like whining when you complain about a team that's won 11 WS, but the last decade has been really ... dull. I rarely felt like the team had championship potential, and now that they're all getting old, I think you're right. This team will struggle in the division this year. Excited to see how YOU rebuild them!

[@johnb3035]

Man i'm excited! I trust cane to deliver on this one like he always does. Also the comments on this video are so wholesome I love it!

ive been watching you for years and as a cards fans im so pumped for this LETS GOOOOOO

[@MartyCantrell]

I really enjoyed your A's series. I do agree with you on the more sims the first season as you settle in to see what you have. Making trades and drafting/finding young talent, it will be nice to see them more once they are MLB ready rather than grinding them in the minors. I do hope the injury setting isn't as broken with some players as it seemed to be in the past. I can't wait to see what you do with this team from the lessons learned last year.

[@FubarMules50]

As an avid Cubs fan, I'm gonna have a hard time seeing you rebuild the Cards. That being said, aside from your Kalispell dynasty, your A's franchise is by far my favorite series on either of your channels. Here's hoping to another good series!

[@averycatlett7825]

Just wanted to say on the topic of video length, your passion and the work you put in shows more the longer your video is. Don’t feel the need to shorten them

[@Th3Haz3OfSpadeS]

Hey Cain, excited as always for any series of yours, and I just wanted to share how I play MLB franchise mode (been using this for 3 years running). So the biggest issue is trade logic, so what I do is I have trades turned off, and do manual trades in 2 instances. 1st is if a contending team has a long term injury to a player they don't have a backup to, so I make a rental trade with a selling team. 2nd and the more time consuming one, is I'll open a spreadsheet and note down any contending team and then check what they're weaknesses are. Then I'll go through all the tanking teams and note what expiring contracts they have. Then I'll put those teams in a randomiser for that expiring contract and whoever pops up "wins" that player and I make the trade happen. So for example if a team is 2nd in their division and competing for a playoff spot without a good closer or a LHP or a DH I'll note all teams that need that player, and whoever pops up will get him. Then according to how good of a season he's having, I'll trade an A or B or C prospect to the selling team and so on. Yes it's very time consuming but it's really fun and adds customisation and a realistic feel to your franchise rather than 5th place team trading for a wildcard team's best player.

[@ChrisMackTalks]

I’m so happy you’re doing a franchise for the show 24!! Loved your series with the A’s.

[@ParisStephan330]

absolutely love this franchise! It's nice to see a team that is not absolutely horrible and also a team that I haven't seen anybody use yet. (fun idea maybe) you should go back and find Sydney Jean-Charles original ratings and recreate him, throw him in Double-A and let the game develop him on its own. kinda like a "custom prospect" so to speak. That would be awesome to see and then you could call him up in the future seasons if he ends up being decent!

[@ALTAIR2]

My favorite thing about MLB the show 24 is the fact that they finally put the Kingdome in the game. Nothing more satisfying than hitting a bomb the big left field wall

I’ve literally been waiting 2 weeks for this I was worried you were gonna wait 3 months to start it 😂

[@lemonpug6582]

YES. This was my favorite rebuild I’ve ever done on the show back in 22. Lots of valuable veterans that I traded 🤣

[@quinmcglamery5316]

I personally enjoyed the development of some of the top prospects from the A’s. It was fun to watch a few of them grow versus trying to get all of them up, as Joe Michael, Aaron Don, Yusniel Cruz, and Miguel Cabrera were some of the favorites.

[@guntrythurmond6554]

Fun choice for the new series! To me it seems like Masyn Wynn's hitting skills could probably use another year in the minors too, but I understand if keeping him with the majors makes this season more fun. Or to try for that PPI thingy! Same goes for Victor Scott, honestly, cuz if he can get that hitting into the 60s in the minors then he might be really useful with that speed. And backup catcher Ivan Herrera should maybe start in the minors too, since he has B potential but is only 61 overall and looks like he needs daily reps to develop into a more solid backup. And you can likely find a currently-better backup catcher for cheap somewhere, I imagine. And if you're simming a bunch early on as you reshape the veteran-laden roster, then the exciting young guys like Wynn can be called up later on when you're playing more of the games. I look forward to trading away the vets, there should be some desperate teams down the stretch willing to give up decent prospects for vets of this caliber. They're legitimately good/great vets so some sweet deals to contenders (or wannabe contenders) wouldn't be too unrealistic, provided they're playing well of course. And I know Jordan Walker is a bad defender, but that 92 arm and 75 speed should still make him a good right fielder or something. He's got a chance to be a beast. Good luck with the series!

[@ZuuZou7]

I’m not here to tell you what to do but if you really would like to have correct Opening Day rosters, lineups etc. like you said, you have to do 30 team control and start on Spring Training. Even your own 26-man roster won’t be correct if you start on Regular Season. Takes time but I think it’s the only way to get everything the way you would like to. There are some great tips in KZbin and Operation Sports how to go with it. You can control other teams as little as you wish but most importantly get the correct players in right places, especially for Opening Day. Keep it up, long time fan here from Finland! 👍🏼
