This Week In MLB The Show

Cooperstown Kurt & Brian the Weasel take a break from that other game and instead focus their attention on OOTP Baseball 19!

On one side-

The 1995 Seattle Mariners: Ken Griffey JR, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez, and the comic dispositions of Lou Pinella!

On the other side-

The 1986 Boston Red Sox: Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, Jim Rice, and a slew of beautifully crafted mustaches.

The guys argue over who would be the better team, going position by position with real stats and intended nostalgic humor!

This all leads to an actual OOTP baseball 7 game series simulation on Monday Night, August 6th, on TWITCH.

And... you get to decide who was the better player at two key positions... simply FOLLOW COOP on twitter to make a choice!

In which Cooperstown Kurt talks to MLB Network Host Robert Flores about his broadcasting career and subsequent interest in MLB the Show.

Esports is a heavily used word within our community and others, but what does that mean? Where does Robert see the future of gaming going, and how does that impact MLB the Show?

Robert went from being fired to getting a job anchoring ESPN. How close was he to becoming an insurance salesmen? And what did he learn from that experience?

Other off-handed topics include Intellivision, the Astrodome, and the oddity that comes with being in the public eye.

Finally, after such a storied and successful career, what is the best advice Robert can offer to content creators trying to break into the next level.

In which Cooperstown Kurt & Brian The Weasel run down the latest happening in MLB The Show...

Roster Updates are out, and no new diamonds await... but did SDS bump enough guys to satisfy The Weasel?

POTM cards are here- leading to a super diamond Paul Goldschmidt. And although this doesn't sit well with the guy, Coop believe there's a decent diamond in the mix nonetheless.

Dave The Cobra Parker is your Ranked Season reward... and amazing card... for a different version of the game? Coop ponders if SDS really knew power would be all that matters in this year's game...

Jose Bautista is a tasty Event Reward.

And finally, The San Diego Chicken has officially been interview, and we have a sneak peek at the conversation...

In which Cooperstown Kurt sits down with the greatest mascot of all-time, The World Famous San Diego Chicken!

To say the story of Ted Giannoulas is unique would be an understatement. Ted was attending San Diego State with dreams of breaking into sports journalism when a local radio rep walked into class and changed his life forever.

From his early days walking around the sparse stands of Jack Murphy Stadium, to becoming the national icon everyone knows and loves- Coop asks it all.

When did Ted know The Chicken was taking off? Why do people call him both the San Diego and the World Famous Chicken? Was the "Grand Hatching" the most important moment in the character's history? Why is he never photographed out of costume? How did The Baseball Bunch come about? What modern player would he most like to do a sketch with? And how did he break the news to his wife that he indeed was the World Famous Chicken?

And most importantly, where does Ted and The Chicken go from here?

In which Coop sits down with JERZnetwork to discuss how you can become a better hitter in MLB the Show.

JERZ is currently the #15 ranked player lifetime in Diamond Dynasty, so we ask him all the questions you'd want to know about how he became as good as he is...

Zone or Directional?

Power, Contact, or Regular swing?

Kontrol Freeks? Monitor? Camera Angle?

What's his tactic with hitting? Does he sit in a particular zone?

Does he look at quirks? Does he look at stadium and wind?

And what's it like to play Pitching Rebel?

All of this plus Joey Gallo!

THIS IS THE AUDIO FROM THE LIVE TWITCH SHOW

In which Coop & The Weasel break down all the latest developments in MLB The Show, plus bring you a special Father's Day video.

Your new POTM is Justin Verlander. Is this a good thing? Or should The Show be focusing more on players who had "the months of their lives"?

Roster Updates are out, and there's been a slew of activity. Lots of upgrades and downgrades, but only one new diamond... do the guys agree, and does Mrs. Coop agree?

The New Event brings us a Breakout Justin Upton, and less of Phil Niekro.

When will we be able to complete The Immortals?

Finally, Kurt brings in his Father-In-Law to play The Show for the first time... they open packs, pick a team, and play DD.

It's a flashback episode of TWI as the guys bring you their latest thoughts on MLB the Show in strictly podcast form!

Coop opens the show with the good and the bad of MLB The Show right now, somehow weaving in anecdotes to Vasquez Rocks, hugs with family, and the Ryan Hanigan mission into a seamless story.

Weasel joins the show and the guys bounce around topics, they include-

- Where Weasel is at right now in his grind

- How to get certain missions accomplished

- Darin Erstad and David Wright

- Doubles missions being eliminated

- Why Ryne Sandberg is essentially a free card

And, the guys come up with a new way to give out WS rewards moving forward... challenging? Fun? Awful?

Eh, either way, it's fun to talk about The Show!
