Finally captains make sense (in some other way) …
-
@xElRojo44x Okay, maybe I try to help and explain a little further. I am using the MLB team captains, one for position players and one for pitchers … and every player is from that team.
For example … Just did the WhiteSox:
Captain - Tim Anderson (had to level him up to P1)
Squad:
C : Grandal
1B: The Big Hurt
2B: Moncada
3B: Colson Montgomery
SS: Aparicio
LF: Minnie Minoso
CF: Luis Robert
RF: Harold BainesPitched with Strider and a whole Sox Bullpen
-
Tigers done … good squad, when you pick up 99 Pudge/Verlander … Luis Gonzalez in LF is nice too (besides Miggy of course) … and a very solid bullpen with Soto/Chafin :). I also pitched Newhouser (just for fun against a LHP).
The nice thing is: You can use your whole bullpen, since my only goal is 1 win with each squad (won every game with the AL Central) :).
Just built the Athletics. They are pretty strange. You have Foxx, McGwire, Giambi, Rickey and that‘s about it :). But: Nice pitching and especially good bullpen

@YOSHI24 Thanks for posting this. I havent paid much attention to captains this year but now with all cards available i tried out a few. The dodgers and braves are incredible.

Definetly try out all of them … I never had this much fun all year :).
I hope, they do NOT bring back Captains. Still I will do theme teams in 12 months like this -
I did do this every year with my Angels. This year it turned into a god squad. Thank god for Logan O'Hoppe.
-
I’m an Atlanta guy, been watching the Braves since the early 90s. So this year, it’s SOOOO easy to make a good Braves squad!
-
I actually won a ranked game with my Mariners theme team today. Big maple on the mound and the Logan Gilbert captain boost. Even got a knock with Edgar and Raoul Ibanez drove in a pair. Kind of in shock, but stoked!
-
@halfbutt did my Mariners game too a few minutes ago … Started Randy and subbed him out in the 6th pitching a one-hitter in a 1-0 game. In came Kirby, followed by BigMaple … Castillo closed out the shutout.
Mike Cameron hit the only run, a solo-shot …
This afternoon, I did the Marlins … that was tough, although I only lost 7-4 against a World Series player :). Young Miggy with a bomb :)…
Hillarious .. Just built the stoked Rangers/Yankees/Braves/Nationals

@YOSHI24
So much fun!
I haven’t had much luck with Cameron yet, but I like that card.
Only thing about the M’s theme team is there are no lefty relievers. Might have to use Randy or Robbie Ray out of the pen. -
Also, a Norm Charlton card would be sick.

Just did the Braves … had to bring the Big3. Unfortunately the bullpen is pretty weak, so I lost in extras :). But: Fun starting9 … next ist the Braves so I can sell Finest Nimmo to get some stubs back
-
Just did the Mets … Nimmo is a beast, player of the game: Daniel Vogelbach with 2 bombs
… Man, this is fun -

@broken_toy1 I also had im on third getting thrown out at home on a attemped SF
-
Nothing batter that hitting a pinch hit Grand Slam with Ralph Kiner on your Pirates theme team for the win
… But boy do they have a bad bullpen :). Taillon got the start and win (too easy to start Skenes, Taillon was awesome), Skenes/Bednar sealed it -
Down to the last team, the Dodgers … Had fun with the Rockies (until the guy quit in the 2nd), after that … Shield Woods … German Marquez did his best
… but the stadium is not fun at all.Had an awesome game with the Padres (lefty heavy) against John Donaldson
… Tied the game on a Soto bomb, after that the guy quit due to a xmas party I totally sold the Giants game and now I am taking a day off for the Dodgers and Nando
-
You made me want to do it with my birds, just annoying I got to get p1 with Mcgwire to get his full boost

I had to have 99 Big Mac in there … I had Lou Brock as my captain, which hurt a lot. Too bad, you cannot use the better version of the captain.
But the boost on Lou gave Edmons, Musial and Holliday good enough defense, especially having Nootbar on the bench for defensive purposes.If I remember correctly, I had BigMac at first, Carpenter at 2nd, Ozzie had to be in there at SS
and DeJong at 3B. At Catcher I had Contreras over TorreNice lineup, got the W
-
Gotta try out the other captains too. Just had a full team Sosa-Cpt-squad. You have to put Thome at 3B to make it work. The Outfield consists of Griffey, Mantle, Mays … My opponent started Randy, so I could DH Mig Bac … It worked out, a tight 2-0 pitchers duel (also had Randy on the Pedro captain squad) with a Griffey Big Fly and Mantle coming through.
The Lindor Captain is also very nice.
EDIT: And the Piazza Catcher captain team is very solid. Santana fits in at 3rd, DiHigo at SS with Biggio manning 2B
