Padre’s Road to the Show part two
March 10, 2008 by pastapadre
So after having attention diverted towards playing The Show online and playing the rival baseball title, Padre was able to get back into his Road to the Show.
Going through the rest of Spring Training there was some improvement made at the plate. He finished ST having batted .255 with 9 RBI and 4 steals. Not exactly impressive numbers but at least they had come up from the sub .200 he was sitting at earlier in ST.
According to the scouting this was pretty much what the organization had expected him to do. So when it came time for a contract offer Padre was presented with a one year deal for $32,000. His agent countered and asked for $37,500 but that was rejected. They came back with an offer of 2 years for $64,000 that included a player option for that second year. Padre decided to go ahead and accept it. He was then sent to the AA Harrisburg Senators to begin his career as a bench player.
Despite the early designation as bench Padre found his way to a lot of playing time, splitting between his natural position of SS and his secondary position of 2B. In fact only two games in he got his first start and went 2-4 with a steal. After a handful of games he had already become the usual starter at SS and occasionally at 2B.
This led to Padre’s first home run which was a no-doubter that he pulled to left field. He was excited for that one and it made some all of the frustration prior to that worth it. A second home run would be hit a few games later in a pinch hitting role. Thanks to the training he seems to be gaining in the power category although he has also put attention towards contact and speed.
Currently the Senators are tied for 1st place with a 7-5 record. Padre is hitting .310 with 2 HR, 5 RBI, 4 R, and 4 SB.
Notes: The minor league stadiums are quite fun to play in. Definitely finding it easier to make good contact and guess type or location off of these less talented pitchers. I still get picked off way too often since I lose concentration waiting. I really wish the SportsConnect website had uploading of videos and screenshots.
sounds pretty good, what level do you play on Pasta
That sounds like a lot of fun. I definitely will look into picking this up! Thanks, Padre. =)

Great job pasta keep the stories coming bro.
I’m curious. Is it better than Superstar or Campus Legend in terms of features?

I like it alot more, but I never went to deep into the superstar because the camera angle was garbage.
I just got through my first season of RTTS. I’m a SS w/the Cubs, and despite my epic stats (.440/35/130) and consistant goal achievements, I’m still at AA. I’m ranked 2nd overall in the organization at my position, only behind Theriot - and not by too much - but no love yet.
Even though the games obviously go way faster in the RTTS mode, it still takes a while to get through a season. I figured my dominant performance and lack of SS talent in the organization would get me a call up to the majors for Sept, or at least AAA…
Come on now
Can you get traded?
I will play as Vinny Boom Boom Johnfords. Never back down Djimou Hounsou.
hey everyone.. so far this game is everything i hoped it would be and more. i now know why i got the ps3. still just a few minor problems so far.. well really only one but it effects both rtts and franchise. The contracts for all the players are all way off. The years are all off by alot for almost every single player. Pasta, do you know if this will be corrected in a future online update? Thank you.
I like the “surprise factor” in RTTS: the manager is asking for a double play, yet the runner in 1st goes for a steal and you have to cover; or the ball just does not go to your side and have to cover 2nd to get the play done. It gets some work to get used to it, but it’s great.
I just started spring training with the A’s playing fist base.
Currently, I am hitting .324 with 2 HRs, 9 RBI (leads team) and two doubles…..Still showing rated 5th of 5 first baseman in the organization.
RTTS is an awesome experience. The only thing I don’t like is the base buttons are reversed when in the field. I have thrown home on double-play balls numerous times….
Hey Pasta, you gonna continue with RTTS? Im enjoying so far and as I don’t have a PS3 I really would like to see how it works.

Yeah once I get time to play through more I’ll have another update, probably recapping the full first year (or at least a bigger chunk of time)
