I am telling you all right now I am going to be celebrating all weekend because Robinson Cano has been banned for 80 games for using a banned substance. This is the same guy that signed a ten-year $240 million contract before the start of the 2014 season with Seattle and even with all that money that they threw at him he still has not run out a ground ball. He didn't do it with the Yankees so why start now? I don't know who was the laziest player I've ever seen. It has to be between Alfonso Soriano and this pile of horse manure. I'm just glad we won't be seeing him for awhile. 🖕

Johnny Field, first home run of his career. It took three hours and fifty-two minutes to play this game. The Red Sox intentionally try to lull opponents to sleep. Eduardo Nunez strikes out to end the game.

Duke Snider The Yankees had Mickey Mantle, the Giants had Willie Mays and the Brooklyn Dodgers had “The Duke of Flatbush.” At the time when there were three New York baseball teams, the team that had your allegiance was as important in the five boroughs as life itself, and in the 1950’s nobody represented Brooklyn baseball more than Duke Snider. Those team rivalries of yesterday live on a half century later with members of that generation. Willie Mays recalled “Duke was a fine man, a terrific hitter and a great friend, even though he was a Dodger.” Edwin Donald Snider was called Duke his entire life. He got the nickname from his parents as a young boy because of the way he strutted around like he was royalty. On the baseball field, Duke was royalty. He gracefully patrolled center field in Brooklyn and was one of the most prolific power hitters of the 1950s, as he hit more home runs and had more RBI in the decade than any other player. Duke’s star seemed to have shone brightest when the pressure was on. In 1949, on the season’s final day, he drove in the winning run to clinch the pennant for the Dodgers and in 1955 he led Brooklyn to their one and only World Series victory over the Yankees. In total, Snider hit .286 with 11 home runs and 26 RBI in 36 World Series games, and is the only player to hit at least 4 home runs in two different Fall Classics. In 1957, when the Dodgers played their final game in Brooklyn before moving to Los Angeles, it was Duke Snider that hit the last home run ever in Ebbets Field, and fittingly that home run was hit off Robin Roberts. In his career Snider hit 19 home runs off of Roberts - no other batter in major league history has hit that many home runs off of a single pitcher. Snider hit .295 with 407 career home runs, played in the World Series six times and won two titles. But the eight-time All-Star was defined by much more than his stats -- he was, after all, part of the love affair between Brooklyn and "Dem Bums" who lived in the local neighborhoods.

Gleyber Torres

Didi Gregorius......Kapow! Other people can post in here you know. This is our MLB season thread.

Dodgers can not turn a double play and it cost them. Because moments later Starlin Castro scores to tie the game at 1 - 1.

Wil Myers out at the plate in Colorado. Cory Spangenberg hits a two-run single over the head of the Rockies second baseman. Pinch hitter Matt Szczur gets his second hit of the inning, a two-run single. San Diego scored nine runs in the 7th.

Yes it is.

A salute to Brandon Belt of the Giants who had a twenty-one pitch at bat against the Angels. He ended up flying out to right field but it was impressive the way he hung in there. Lazy Robinson Cano would have quit after seven pitches.

Kris Davis homers off of David Price in the 8th to give Oakland a 4 - 1 lead. Look at Price's reaction. Davis rounds the bases

Thank you! But Laroquece kinda runs this thread.

The modders represented this week are two more names that really won't jump out at you because of the work they did and when they did it. Even though they were not high-profile modders like Dennis James or KC or Pirate, etc, etc, it still does not diminish their contributions to the modding community here at Mvpmods. One was a guy who made camera and datafile mods that significantly changed the perspective of the ballpark that gave it a new outlook as compared to what we were normally used to seeing. The second modder is another member of the Xbox community who contributed so much to the users who played this game on the console. Also, as I asked a few weeks back I wanted people to bring to my attention names of modders that have not been featured in here. There is a list a few posts up from this that will tell you every name I have done already. I have now completed my updated list and I hope you enjoyed reading about these guys as much as I have writing about them in here. Murph4thehall I would imagine that datafiles and camera angle views have to be as difficult to create and to be satisfied with the end result as any other part of the game that has been modded over the years. Maybe more so because if there is a mistake in any one part of it people will notice right away and that's where the criticisms begin. Ask any roster maker over the years how many complaints he gets when a player is not up to speed according to someone else. Murph4thehall created some very good field cameras that have really gone unnoticed over the years and that is partly because he has not been here in almost ten years and his work has been buried in the pages of mods that we have in the Mvp '05 download area. His Turner Field cam is especially good and if you want to see how good it is you should play a game in that park before you install his camera mod and then after you install it. You'll see a very pronounced difference. Fenway Park Cams v1.1 Turner Field Cams v1.0 New Aerial and Zoom Cams Adjusted Speed ratings Fieldturf 2.0 (for Mvp 2004) Fieldturf 2.0 for the Trop, Metrodome, and Rogers Centre. More detail in the Trop and Metrodome rugs,and Rogers is also improved. Themewin Themewin was an Xbox modder who ported some of the most popular PC mods over to the console so they could be played there. By doing that he became one of the most admired and popular supporters of the Xbox community during his time here. Because of themewin Xbox users were able to use mods like Hory's Total Portraits and KcCitystar's uniform set in their game. Newer members to Mvpmods may wonder why there was so much attention geared towards the Xbox version of the game when all the mods that they see are for the PC version and nothing else. That is not how it was when Mvp first came out. There were people very happy with their Xbox game and they had no interest in acquiring the PC equivilant. That's partly because of the work you see below from themewin.

Kris Davis homers. It is now 9 - 7 Seattle. Davis' home run was a no-doubter.

Mark Canha of Oakland gets into one. Seattle still leads in the game.

Reds turn a double play to get out of a bases loaded no out jam to prevent the Cardinals from scoring.

Aaron Hicks hit a two run inside-the-park home run in Detroit. As you can see the ball bounds away after hitting the wall. HIcks slides home safely.

See what the Yankees have done? This poor guy from Portugal just wants to watch baseball and these ***holes ruin it for him. I hate this team.

Not bad. Anyone who beats Washington is ok by me.

Should have said Alex Cora. No big deal though. One Cora is the same as the other one. They both sucked. DJ who?

But this is how those people are. Boston loves to play the victim in everything. They've never done anything wrong at any time to anyone. They are always picked on.
