Welcome to Detroit!: Detroit Tigers OOTP 24 sim

[@dylanblomme4679]

Babe wake up, pfholden is starting a new sim

[@pfholden]

lolz

[@pigszzthegamingpig9906]

Can't wait for the rest of the sim! You always have great videos!

[@pfholden]

appreciate it!

[@alpaul2166]

Very excited for your new long term sim!!

[@boydie861]

So happy I decided to search for you again on a whim to see a new save started 4 days ago! Looking forward to this... UK fan

[@dankent333]

Really enjoyed it! This year I think it's all about pitchers with multiple different pitches, the more the better even if not great stuff. So I'm hoping Lorenzen gets a run!

[@strongholdcc1396]

“Tair-ick” like “Eric” with a T. I love that you’re honoring Miggy! Can’t wait until later seasons to see the historical numbers and where guys will rank all time in Tigers history.

[@RoFlo2499]

Glad to see the start of a new sim. Hopefully we get to see an outfield of Greene and the Meadows brothers at some point

[@jimmylyons1998]

Yes! You doing a Tigers sim is exciting! Go Tigers! 🐅

[@Just_Lionz]

Ayyyy the video I needed today!

[@pfholden]

i live to serve

[@funky6399]

Thank you so much for pronouncing Detroit correctly. So many folks get it wrong saying like Da-troyt it’s Dee-troyt

[@DwayneJr1]

Been waiting for this one. Good stuff dude.

[@T.Miller1234]

Hell yea, super excited for this sim

[@mattmyers2949]

Bo knows catching defense

[@mrmccarthy97]

I also don’t like when my manager retains some control in my own sims, so I turn on that legacy gm-mode where you can retain control. Maybe that would work to avoid the individual pitch count/hitting coach issues?

[@pfholden]

iirc, the legacy button is only for lineups, not player strategy.

[@AlecK47]

First a Brewers sim, and now the Tigers... my two favorite teams in one year... I'll certainly take that!

[@pfholden]

A very midwest-heavy them to the channel, eh? Thanks for watching!

[@FakeSportsDynasties]

San Juan Zephyrs hero, Dillon Dingler

[@strongholdcc1396]

Tork was Zephs legend too! #letsgozephs #resurrectthezephs

[@kevinmshea58]

Very excited for this sim. Number of years to run this is undecided for now? Tork will end as the greatest Tiger ever!

[@pfholden]

TBD but hoping for 10-ish seasons

[@RoFlo2499]

35:42 Lol as an A’s fan myself, how in the world were they projected to go 80-82 in this sim?

[@pfholden]

haha, the predictions are just from a single sim ran for the prediction, so in that random one sim, they won 80 games.

[@petekowalczuk4795]

I was wondering if you are going to record any trading gameplay to put in. I always enjoy watching and learning how you make trades and just play out the game

[@pfholden]

some yeah, sometimes no. it'll depend on how much time I have while recording.

[@Ian00003]

In my tigers sim last year Baez put up a 110-120 wRC+ 3 straight seasons. Dingler turned into a beast

[@pfholden]

would LOVE that from Baez

[@guthrien]

It begins! I would turn up stealing, I think you want to end up with different totals compared to 22. Plus it's just fun statistically.

[@gearbocs]

Agreed I think baseline stealing I was getting generally 50 bags from 70-80+ Speed/Stealing players getting 70ish. With that notched up to "stealing=often" It's closer to 70-80 for the best stealers in the league. I love steals though and I generally play small ball teams with crazy baserunning, so I steal more than most teams, and it was weird getting 400-500 bags as a team compared to like 90 from other teams.

[@jacobmalensek4328]

Wasn’t expecting Stephen Amell to be commentating this video.

[@monashmofo314]

Trying to get that Baez contract off the books in my sim. Good luck!!!!

[@mattmyers2949]

Anyone know what happened to the OOTP subreddit?

[@vincenta4746]

A bunch of subreddits went private for a protest

[@Juan-rz6gx]

Great series, I love OOTP for me I prefer doing career mode with historical teams, never got into today's baseball.

[@pfholden]

thanks!

[@WhatDude1]

Holy shit it is nice to hear someone who understands it’s okay to spend money and try to win. I’m a Mariners fan and cannot stand the fans who defend the M’s strategy of not spending money.

[@pfholden]

i do like when teams that are worth billions spend money and try to win!

[@tmmw1975]

yes, been waiting for this!

[@Juan-rz6gx]

Do you also play Football Manager ? I am going to buy the 2024 version this Friday and give it a shot playing a career with FC Dallas of the MLS.

[@strongholdcc1396]

Detroit Rock City!!!!!!

[@pfholden]

for the mitten

[@B4GM4N]

running my detroit tigers rebuild rn in 2030, dingler ended up being a beast, greene had a couple good years but tork was below average

[@JasonCleghorn1975]

Several of those AAA pitchers are decidedly better than the chaff on your 40 man. IMO.

[@pfholden]

sure but I am probably not winning this season, so not looking to start their service time clocks for no reason.

[@zakshiba1888]

here to see Wilmer Flores, younger brother of Giants’ Wilmer Flores help you win it all!!

[@zakshiba1888]

Wow lots of former Giants in your system…good to see Kervin Castro looking good in OOTP, I thought he was going to be a guy for us after his 2021 season. Great content as always sir

[@pfholden]

Thanks, Zak!

[@leobarlach]

It's annoying that the game starts without the salaries of the players making league mininum in your budget... Messes your early decisions.

[@pfholden]

agreed, but I think the justification is the AI would make some wild 40-man decisions with the real 40-man in place when you start a game.

[@sporer_]

let's goooooooo!!!!!!!!!

[@pfholden]

hello fellow tigers gm

[@dooickouski]

The Miguel Cabrera situation makes me sad. Both because of how shit he is compared to how much he makes but also how shit he is compared to how incredible he could have been.

[@pfholden]

I don't follow on "how incredible he could have been"...he's had an amazing career!

[@jonathanemontgomery]

Tigers are in a botched rebuild. Tough roster if you don’t want to tank.

[@max-yx9nf]

niceee

[@pfholden]

Very nice

[@jonathanemontgomery]

Lots of guys being dudes for us

[@pfholden]
