@Dolenz_PSN what do you think? -
I went 1-3 with the Cardinals. The last game was a dub in a crazy game:
Jim Edmonds solo shot in the 2nd to give me 1-0 lead.
My opponent got three straight two-out hits including two doubles to make it 2-1
My opponent then hit an RBI infield single to make it 3-1 in the 4th
Edmonds and Big Mac went back-to-back in the 5th to tie the game, although I stranded runners on the corners with one out
Miller gave up a solo shot to my opponent's Buxton in the bottom of the 8th to make it 4-3
Ted Simmons went yard to lead-off the 9th off his Lee Smith to tie it at 4
He intentionally walks Rolen to bring up Edmonds, he hits a P-P double to the wall in Coors (I'm the road team btw), somehow thrown out at the plate
With two outs, none other than BRENDAN DONOVAN GOES YARD OPPO for a go-ahead two-run shot
Ozzie Smith followed with a bomb of his own
I left in Miller and he clutched up, although my opponent got a lead-off hit that I dove for, got past me, he tried to stretch into an inside-the-parker but got caught in a rundown and was thrown out.
The Cubbies are next -

@Dolenz_PSN what do you think?Looks good to me. The only thing I do with my theme team is always have Victor Scott II on the bench for pinch run situations (99 Speed and 99 Steal). Donavan then gives me a lot of flexibility allowing me to move him to any of 6 positions to bring in a sub after the pinch running.
I would have also started Arenado over Rolen. The Arendo Finest card is better than Rolen in every single attribute except the baserunning ones.
Although it kind of stings, since I only do a true theme team that can be boosted with the captain to see you use 99 versions of Arenado, McGwire, Goldschmidt, Holliday and to a lesser extent Rolen. They did the Cardinal fans no favors this year with cutting us out of all of those guys best cards in the same year.
-
Again, I think Rolen was the better Cardinal than Arenado, so that's why I started him instead. I was only able to get the tier 2 boosts from Gray and Donovan. Kinda sucks.

They are closer than you might think, especially considering the cliff Arenado has fallen off the last few years. Even though Arenado has been with the Cardinals one year less than Rolen he has actually played more games.
That said, Rolen's overall stats were better.

Due to issues with my PlayStation, All-Time teams have been halted. Sorry, my PS5 bailed on me, so I have to wait for a new one. All this thing did was turn off completely whenever I boot it up after anywhere from 15 seconds - 10 minutes.

The real All-Time Cubs -
Dude, not having the WS MVP Ben Zobrist in the lineup is criminal. That alone makes it simply a theme team.
