Anybody doing theme teams ?!?!?

@TeakAUS_PSN I just played a sweater with the cubs … My first reliever was Lee Smith (obviously :)) … since I faced an „I swing at everything very early Santana Boost“-guy, I wanted somebody with a cutter … Unfortunately I had to bring in Gold Jesse Chavez … He did a brilliant job … The game went to extras and I had to bring in Kerry Wood to nail the save :). The Cubs do have the reward path Aroldis Chapman though … so it is kinda okay

Any theme team standout as the best so far?
probably the best so far: The Twins
most fun: Athletics (since they are really bad but fun to build). So far the only team I went 3-0 with

@TeakAUS_PSN The Braves have a very good bullpen, just built them
-
my top 3 theme teams Ive used are: Reds, Dodgers & Orioles. The Phillies look like a pretty stacked team too but haven't used them yet.

The Reds are indeed very nice, I liked them a lot

If you want a real challenge, play 3 games with the Dbacks. Their pitching consists of only 2 good arms … I managed to win 2/3 because my opponent rage-quit a 2-0 game at shield woods after 1 Inning, denying my friendly and not checking my bullpen full of silvers
Next up: Braves, Mets, Orioles, Guardians (who I am really looking forward because their pitching is awesome)
-
here are my top 3 favorite: giants, dodgers, Yankees.

Just went 4-0 with the Mets … and the biggest thing (and takeaway) for me is: I just got my rank to an all-season-high … Biggest Takeaway: The best cards will not help if you cannot play … I played a ton against big god squads and gave them silver/gold pitchers (ok, bumped ones). I will definitely go „no flip“ in 2025, this is really fun and I can only encourage people to do Theme teams

4 Teams to go (Brewers, Padres, Yankees, Dodgers).
The last few were pretty awesome. I went 12-5 with the DBacks (very bad bullpen), Braves (awesome all around), Mets, Orioles and Guardians.I really liked the Orioles. I even played an extra game and I went 4-0 with them. Lineup is awesome and I went crazy with Cal Ripken
… That has been the best part … playing with all the different cards and experiencing (just a small sample) which players you are doing good (or not).Second best part was setting up that record against 90% meta god squad teams with tons of switch hitters
I decided to play a whole rotation with the last 2 since both the Dodgers and Yankees have a whole team to play with (the Dodgers theme team is stacked).
After that I am really looking forward to doing experimenting with the new captains
-
Finished both 2-1 with Brewers (nice overall) and Padres (only 3 competitive SP) … and switched to a 5-game series now on …
I played 4 games that are really telling a lot about the game and/or people. I was 706 starting the Yankees series
- game got beat by a really good player although CC held my opponent down and I could not locate with Mo … that resulted in a very clear result.
- Second game … straight quit after 0 zero pitches (I suppose my opponent was tanking ranked levels)
- Rage quit after 2 batters faced against a switch-hitting god squad (second K was pretty nasty by Mussina
- Rage quit after 8 against a WS player. Pettite held him down pretty good and who else than Wade Boggs nailed the hold …
All games I faced either JohnD or Randy … Everybody‘s Lineup was stacked with Switch-hitters and only 1 had a captain going (Mullins in game 4).
-
Finished the Yankees with a 4-1 record and a season high 823 rank … allowed 1 hit with Cole over 7 IP and none other than Jose Trevino nailng down the save at Capital Lange …
Did I mention it, that those stadiums like Capital Lange and/or Shield Woods (I hit an off-pci HR with Gehrig) are a disgrace to this beautiful baseball sim …
Now on to the Dodgers. Kershaw got the nod for his game 1 start into the final 5-game-series
