david fry is statistically the most clutch player in the major leagues. he's hitting .320 with 25+ RBIs. he's such a key part of the guardians right now
I was just found your channel today.And I was watching your first episode of the Portland pickles.Then I kind of looked at your channel and then I watched the whole Athletic What a series and then I thought I might as well look and see if it's out and it is and i'm a new fan And i'm subscribed
I'm sure you know this already, but using directional hitting bases your results on swings off of contact attributes. So having lower rated players puts you behind the eight ball making solid contact in clutch situations. Its a hard mechanic to master, but the more you can practice excelling with zone hitting, the better your results will be at the plate. Subscribed to witness the journey of the Pickles
i think he does directional hitting just so it’s more dependent on the players overall and less on his actual skill controlling them, i feel like it adds more to the realism of a rebuild and controlling a team
I use timing hitting and turn everything else to auto. I don't want my skill to matter as little as possible because it's all about the players. I only reason I don't sim the games is because the camera angle is from the pitchers view
I gotchu! Before I started the franchise, I randomly traded the entire Oakland Athletics organization away for D potential minor league veteran players to try and simulate what an "expansion" team would look like. Then I started the franchise with that new roster, replacing the Athletics with the Pickles
Also i don’t know what settings you play on but if you’re going to jump in, hit with pci cause the more you have bad at bats, the cpu is going to copy those results when you simulate.
@ScrawnySlugger, I have come to love your channel. But I think to make it more interesting you should have the ability to make a trade or two. Watching the starting pitchers blow every damn game is giving me a hernia.
Hall of Fame hitting and pitching. Then I try to take my own skill out of the game as much as possible: timing hitting, button pitching, everything else on auto
I technically control both, but I try to take myself out of it as much as possible. For hitting, I use timing because it makes it more about player ratings than my own skill. Then I use classic button pitching and use the game's recommendation for pitch and location

Let's go been looking forward for this since last video
Oh yeah😩
lessss gooo
Thank you keep this series up bro
You gotta post more than once a week bro
Doing a whole season in 1 video is such a good idea. You actually get to see the progress in a team rebuild.

Hurry up and put out part 3 I’m waiting
Fr
Dude, not gonna lie. I was excited for part two of this.
Deep down, we’re all Portland Pickles.
Facts
So true
Fr
Dude acurate
Arrington had a full year of service because he finished second in roty, its a consolation prize of sorts for the player.
Dang so we didn't win Rookie of the Year and Arrington can't have his service time maniped? Seems like the worst case scenario to me 😅
That white sox walk off that started at 15:25 was crazy, they simulated the pickles choking so hard

18:05. "This is not the player we saw last year." That's the life of an MLB closer/relief pitcher, you can't fault the realism. 😄
Wild to find you on my recommended page after going to high school together! Can’t wait to see you blow up and get successful!!!
Support this guy, it's not only for the amazing work he puts in his videos. It's also about somebody who can eventually see a barber shop again
2 haircuts, 1 video. Coming to a theatre near you
This is awesome! Inspired me to do my own expansion team rebuild. Having a blast because of your content!

Honestly he should probably just not control the players at all and leave it up to the actual game
I use timing hitting and turn everything else to auto. I don't want my skill to matter as little as possible because it's all about the players. I only reason I don't sim the games is because the camera angle is from the pitchers view
@@ScrawnySlugger you can change simulation angles in the settings i'm pretty sure
This genuinely my favorite series in UA-cam actually made me want to do the same thing with my own franchise
This has been a great watch, excited to see where it goes
How do you get those roster. Did you release every player? Did you not renew their contracts at the beginning? I want to do this but I don’t know how
I gotchu! Before I started the franchise, I randomly traded the entire Oakland Athletics organization away for D potential minor league veteran players to try and simulate what an "expansion" team would look like.

@@ScrawnySlugger thanks a lot. I’m happy to be a viewer of a creator that is connected with their fans!
That farm system is just sitting there brining, waiting for the moment in which they are the perfect pickle.
Congratulations on 20 thousand subscribers!
You should upgrade the stadium so it looks more realistic 🤷♂️
Dude this is great the only problem with it is having to wait for the next video. Loved this video can't wait for the next one!
3:20 And it was hanging on a moment of truth.
I just have to say, this series has been amazing so far! I can’t wait for the next episode
@ScrawnySlugger Question how did u reset the team
I think the stadium should have a ton of trees... considering its portland
10:25 violated this guy for no reason💀
I love this series so please keep on doing it
How do you make the pickles
This series literally has made me a bigger baseball fan
The fact the Brian Lazaro is on your team is crazy
Once you’ve built the Pickles into a monster you should elevate the Portland Sea Dogs up so you can have the East v West series.
You've got something special with this series! Keep it up man!
This is a awesome series and j can’t wait for more but someone needs to tell this guy how a sacrifice squeeze works
How do you get a team to be bad like that so I can to something like this and BTW love the series
I already love this series
I love this series. Can we see you restart a pitcher to 0 overall maybe? Or jose Ramirez? Those would be fun
Yo keep this up, this an amazing series. If you keep posting like this, 1 mil in no time
i think you need the best closer in the league kendal graveman😎😎😎
This series is incredible. It made my day.
Dude we need more often and da bois will get u to 50k subs
Keep up the great work and I’m excited for episode 3!! Get it out as soon as possible 1:07
23:47 That's what she said
with a name like Randy Trout, the man should be a two way player
You are a way better announcer for the Portland pickles than the Oakland A’s announcer
Can we see a newly designed pickle park? Also love this series, looking forward to future episodes 🎉
My last name is Goetz😮 and yes you pronounced it right it’s said like “gets” not “goats”
I really hope youve made some modifications to the stadium. That 3 ft fence is killing me.
I love the series man! Keep up the great work
3:22
43:31 bro violated his name hard💀
Love your vids I liked your athletics vid Vinny P was my fav player
Also i don’t know what settings you play on but if you’re going to jump in, hit with pci cause the more you have bad at bats, the cpu is going to copy those results when you simulate.
New Pickles ep dropped. New favorite team.
Just what I needed perfect thing to watch while in the car
@ScrawnySlugger, I have come to love your channel. But I think to make it more interesting you should have the ability to make a trade or two. Watching the starting pitchers blow every damn game is giving me a hernia.
Thanks man! I will make some trades when the time comes. The reason I've 'held back' is because we haven't had have anything to realistically trade
@@ScrawnySluggerYeah i suppose i didn’t really think of that.
LETS GOOO EPISODE 2
who is here after sheets hit that grand slam against my red sox
Im loving this series so far, its great, also I’m going to guess that you make the playoffs for the first time in season 5.
Nicky 2 strikes bouta be a hofer with all these asg appearances
I think getting Dee Strange Gordan is a good idea (unless he’s retired obviously) because he’s also Nick Gordans Brother
Love the vid keep up the good work
How did you get to rebuild the pickles like is it a dlc?
You are the best UA-camr I love the content
Is the spin a wheel a festure on your end or is it on Franchise mode as well?
What mode do you play for the
Can you tell me how you got the roster and team logos and stuff like that
Yes
what settings do you play on for the series?
Hall of Fame hitting and pitching. Then I try to take my own skill out of the game as much as possible: timing hitting, button pitching, everything else on auto
how do we make the pikole icon i wont that icon
"like and subscribe if you want to see more pickle content" Count me in !
Welp, You've got me hooked...
New Pickle stadium coming soon?
Are you going to spend the money for the hometown players that you drafted when their contract time becomes?
David Fry is goated in real life
DAVID 🍟 always delivers
Are you playing? if not how do you watch the game like that
He is I think
When is he gonna start upgrading the stadium?
Love this stuff man
Day 2 of asking for Heston Kjerstad
I’ll be getting my dopamine fix on Wednesdays now
I Dont think I have ever seen Canzone hit an oppo Home Run
do you hit or pitch or neither in these rebuilds?
I technically control both, but I try to take myself out of it as much as possible. For hitting, I use timing because it makes it more about player ratings than my own skill. Then I use classic button pitching and use the game's recommendation for pitch and location
Aye im ngl kid, your going to make alot of subscribers and money if you keep this up. Your doing great with this content keep it up kiddo
Was waiting for part 2 tbh
Were is the starting roster so I can do this bro please 🙏

People who love this season

How do you do that
This series is so tuff
God loves you guys!
Let's go pickles Let's go pickles
I want to know who bought the pirates and chose Juan Soto as their first big purchase
i think you should pursue announcing your so good at it
the blue sleeves hate is so sad :(
I think sending Goetz down could really benefit him
I have to wait 3 more days for the next one😢
The Rangers only won the world series twice? 23:31
I think I meant that they won the World Series in 2023 and in the first year of the franchise 2024
Randy trout is the goat
Subbed so I can watch you play with your pickles again.
