26:56 A weird stat line for Tim Lincecum. A game where he lost 3-2. Went 8.2 and gave up 3 earned runs. I can only imagine how heartbreaking that game was, was going for the complete game shutout and gave up a walk-off 3-run homer.
this almost happened to aaron nola this year, had a shutout into the 9th (perfect game blown in 7th) and gave up a 2 run hr to tie it. padres ended up winning on a walk off
Never should have happened to begin with. Will never forgive Bid Selig for taking advantage of the Astros ownership situation instead of moving the Brewers back to the AL where they belong.
I swear every time Bailey says “Remember him?” in that dog-owner-like candor, I’m just nodding profusely! Yes! I remember Everth Cabrera! I remember Chris Denorfia! We loved our terrible mid-2010s Padres teams.
Miggy did win the triple crown. It’s league based and a National League Posey was the only person with a higher avg. so Miggy once again won his triple crown. (Fun fact: when Miguel Cabrera won the triple crown in 2012 Posey, Melky Cabrera, and Joey Votto had higher avg. funny that in a resimulation posey would still beat him)
@@EvanS_-no, the triple crown is restricted to your league, as in AL or NL. That’s why Goldy and Judge both potentially winning the triple was a huge conversation in early august
I just looked him up and he was still playing in Mexico in 2019, when he turned 46. He got about 6000 ABs in Mexico after leaving the majors. No wonder the Rays wanted him!
@E.W. Hans I still wake up in a cold sweat from time to time thinking about the Erik Bedard trade, both because of the "what if he stayed healthy" factor, and the fact that we gave up Adam Jones for him. Seeing that name so much in a 2 hour span is bad for our collective mental health up here in Seattle
I’ve done watcher saves like this in OOTP from 1871-present and the first greatest player of all time, was some guy who irl played 3 season and had like 200 PA. Seeing how this game handles the sim engine is so great, anything and everything can change!!!
Looks at thumbnail: Cool, there's an AU where Felix Hernandez might pitch in the playoffs Looks at video length: Holy Shit. 30:25-No matter where, no matter how, the WARlord is inevitable
We might see Oscar Tarveras, Tommy Hanson, Jose Fernandez, Yordano Ventura, Luis Valbuena, and Tyler Skaggs have much longer careers. R.I.P. To all these young men who had crazy high ceilings...
An interesting part of the alternate reality aspect of this episode is the lack of a biogenesis scandal. I believe Melky Cabreba was implicated in that and in this save he has had two great seasons to start it off. We also saw Ryan Braun have a monster season in 2012 and not get suspended in 2013. Yasmani Grandal would have also been suspended in 2013. Also side note, the a's have had 2 consecutive rookie of the year winners. Will be interested to see if they have a dynasty that clashes with the young royals dynasty again.
@@falocan54 He came up as a Corner Infielder, but he was so bad at 3rd, and Beltre had that spot, that he was forced to move to 1B. He was even worse there, plus he couldn't use his ++ arm, so they moved him to LF.
Tod Wilhelmson had a 705 ERA+ & came second in the 2013 AL reliever of the year. I don't know if that's a miscalculation or something but that's insane
I was excited for this from when I first saw the posts on Twitter, but it wasn't until Jose Fernandez came up that I realized just how exciting (and, in that case, heart wrenching) this could be - I was excited to see heroes of mine like Wright get a fuller career, but thinking of a guy like Fernandez whose career (and, of course, life) was so tragically cut short getting a chance to build a full career is really powerful. I'm super excited for this series, and I know if anybody is going to do it justice it's Bailey. I can't wait!
Your second pronunciation of Ruggiano is correct. He managed to play in the MLB in 10 seasons, not bad for someone who sits in my early 2010s memory bank.
Pedroia signing with Milwaukee is killing me :'( I just realized the Red Sox are probably screwed financially because they didn't get to do the 2012 salary dump with LA. They're stuck with Carl Crawford in perpetuity
Ruben Rivera popping up on the Rays after being out of the league since 2003 and playing 8 years in Mexico to win a world series with the Rays is hilarious.
“The cardinals had to settle for a wild card spot” As if they didn’t have the greatest regular season comeback ever, aside from the Rays in the same year at the same time
I have alternate history nostalgia from 2011 when I did a 1976-on simulation of the Cleveland Indians (changed the name to the Blues) on Baseball Mogul. I got 9 years of Roger Clemens, plugging him directly into my starting rotation out of college... finally the Yankees offered him more than I could match, he tore his ACL in his first year with them, and 2 years later I had him back as a competent long reliever, instead of the HoFer who won two Cy Youngs with me. Damn the Yankees.
The real life 2013 Mariners went 71-91 and had Nick Franklin and Brendan Ryan 3rd and 4th in the lineup. I watched most of the games that season. This AU is the therapy I've needed ever since
This is very cool I'm definitely going to be checking out this series, you also motivated me to run my own little OOTP past simulation.. I'm doing it from all the way back to the early 1980's to see where guys like Ken Griffey Jr and others get drafted and see how they do.
The Mariners winning the World Series in 2013, followed by the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl in February of 2014 might have killed me from joy. Why isn't this real life? Felix not only saw the playoffs, but the World Series!
About 43 mins in and I love all the videos on this channel as well as Baseball Bits, but as simple as this idea is, I think this is my favorite baseball video I've watched. I love what-if stuff, and seeing some old names go bonkers is awesome.
Thank god u exist bruh cause I watch clique productions and others do sims like this in NBA 2k and always wanted somebody to do something like it in OOTP, it's a perfect game for videos like this but nobody has jumped on it yet til now
“Remember ___” Yes. All of them. Every single player. This is my whole childhood. MLB 2k12 was one of about 5 video games total that I played as a kid and I must have put multiple months worth of play time in that disc. If I wasn’t playing it I was writing down fun imaginary lineups. So much Nelson Cruz.
As I read the title of the video and immediately clicked on it I asked aloud "what the fuck are you doing this time Bailey?" And thus he hastily answered my question. Like God in the Sistine Chapel, stretching his finger to me, Michaelangelo, naked, vulnerable. I teared up. Never change Bailey. I love you.
2012 is super interesting with the Nationals going so far. Pretty sure thats the year they were stupid good and decided to shut down Strasburg for the playoffs. Everyone thought the Nats could win it all until they did that.
Can't believe you passed on a chance to bring up Big Sexy himself when he was on screen at the end of May 2012. 2 complete games for him through May, mad respect
2013 Marlins have a strong start to the season, was at the top of the NL East a few times and most recently on August 1st, and then completely collapse and not even finish above .500. Yep, that's the Marlins I know and love.
Excellent video, your content is interesting, but really it is your voice, pacing, and insights that make this really fun to watch. I’m new to your channels, but I think you could really be on a pro-sports broadcast show. I can hear you going through the out of town scoreboard on commercial breaks. Then running the post game show from the studio. You’ve got some real skill.
Royals notes: 2012 Billy Butler had 194 hits, 28 HR's, 114 RBI, a .310/.373/.522 slash and 2 points towards MVP. 2013 Mike Moustakas finished top 5 in RBI 2013 Jarrod Dyson finished top 5 in stolen bases #VoteOmar
I'm old enough to remember Robbie Ross's rookie year and man, he was fun to watch that year. It's a shame he was never able to maintain that level of performance consistently because he was absolute nails when he was on his game.
Not everyone's gonna watch this but I am EXCITED for this. Funny enough I am a very casual Baseball fan who could never tell you even the starting line up of my own team. But I love stuff like this and always will. Idk why but listening to stuff like this along with playing video games are great so imma just play MLB 21. Really hope for more!
Miguel Cabrera winning the Triple Crown in 2012 is inevitable. I also noticed that from the beginning, there was some key players missing from the 2012 Tigers roster on here that should have been that would've made a big difference in their outcome. Was funny to see the Giants v. Reds in the 2012 nlds again too.
I have OOTP 21 took my Mariners started in ‘89 and have won 8 straight World Series and had 9 straight WS appearances all within the budget I made Luis Gonzalez god too
@@pranavarora9976 I love that OP mentioned Luis Gonzalez and you throw PEDs out there. Because the fact a skinny 34 year old suddenly and mysteriously turned into Babe Ruth during the deepest depths of the Steroid Era, yet always maintained this aura of a squeaky clean scrappy guy who got cheated out of an MVP award by Barry Bonds was always hilarious to me. (Probably had absolutely nothing to do with him ending the dynasty of the despised Yankees/s.)
My best year with him was 1994 when he had the best season I’ve ever seen from a hitter ever 1994: BA:.450 OBP: .541 SLG: .874 OPS: 1.414 WAR: 16.3 Hits:267 2Bs:47 HRs:64 RBIs:240 BBs:121 Ks:31 TBs:518 And he did all of this in 583 at bats Unanimously won his first of 3 MVPs so far And Larry Walker was a 50/50 player with Jr. being a 50/45 player they both also had 13.5+ WAR seasons amazing
McNeil to the Mariners is interesting because he was a part of the Kelenic trade right up to the 11th hour when the Mets decided to keep him. Funny how things seem to work out sometimes
On the subject of the weirdness of Max Russell and the Reliever of the Year Award - OOTP gives a Stuff bonus to pitchers coming out of the pen. He also has a more varied pitch repertoire than other relievers. Might have something to do with it? That's just my guess from playing a lot of OOTP, but there's also the random variance of play both with the talent change modifier and how the game works.
From 1 Braves fan to another, please do an alternate timeline where we didn't keep blowing it in the playoffs. In the 90's and on up into the early 2000's they could have been one of the most dominant eras in mlb history. It still is in some ways, and I'm still grateful to have them, but they should've won a few world series titles.
We were so close to seeing the amazing alternate universe in which todays game is dominated by the top three catchers in the league: Will Smith, JT Realmuto, and Ji Man Choi
i would like to see the top 100 prospects just s little bit more, and would also like if you’d scroll through every teams off-season recap so we can stay updated with every teams moves
Shout out Eric Chavez! My favorite baseball player of all time finally seeing love in the all star game! It just took him going to a big market and staying healthy to achieve that
just correcting that allen craig and aaron hills ratings were moreso based on their terrific 2012 seasons than their short 2011 exploits. if youre loading the game for 2012 its looking at what actually happened that season for those ratings. if you do recalc after that then in 2013 it'll redo their ratings based on what they did in 2013 (can also choose whether to retire according to history or not) or you can leave recalc off and let the game engine with some randomness play a role in development.
You can change the soiders logo by just going into the logo change screen and clicking auto load after changing the name. There's already one in the game.
The 2013 futures games had a crazy ending! Team world gave up a 2-0 lead by walking four straight batters before Josh Bell ended it with a 2-run walkoff single

We were so close to seeing the amazing alternate universe in which todays game is dominated by the top three catchers in the league: Will Smith, JT Realmuto, and Ji Man Choi
i would like to see the top 100 prospects just s little bit more, and would also like if you’d scroll through every teams off-season recap so we can stay updated with every teams moves
I think an underrated crazy thing is Ruben Rivera making a comeback after a decade out of the majors
So unbelievably hype for this. love ur OOTP stuff
The news about Mariners getting the division title should've been announced by Jon Bois
Freddy Peralta with 2.5 potential, spicy
Shout out Eric Chavez! My favorite baseball player of all time finally seeing love in the all star game! It just took him going to a big market and staying healthy to achieve that
I think the highest complement I can give someone is this. I don't like baseball, but I love foolish baseball.
How was Mike trout not rookie of the year but was like 4th in mvp?
This is pretty cool. Excited to watch!
just correcting that allen craig and aaron hills ratings were moreso based on their terrific 2012 seasons than their short 2011 exploits. if youre loading the game for 2012 its looking at what actually happened that season for those ratings. if you do recalc after that then in 2013 it'll redo their ratings based on what they did in 2013 (can also choose whether to retire according to history or not) or you can leave recalc off and let the game engine with some randomness play a role in development.
Bailey… John Jaso played tons of catcher both for Sea and Oak. He caught King Felix’s perfect game in 2012…….
Had a one and half hour train ride thank you for this blessing
48:23 omg sicnarf loopstok is an ottawa titan now ! i just saw their opening exhibition game yesterday

You can change the soiders logo by just going into the logo change screen and clicking auto load after changing the name. There's already one in the game.
man you need to get a OOTPBB sponsor. I literally bought the game because of your channel lol
The 2013 futures games had a crazy ending! Team world gave up a 2-0 lead by walking four straight batters before Josh Bell ended it with a 2-run walkoff single
It’s at 20:00 where I realized that madbum probably isn’t going to be nearly as big a factor in the league as he was irl.
