MLB live starts

louisvillec271 · Yesterday, 03:23 AM

The rosters on the live starts have noticeable flaws. Jacob Miserowski isn't on the Brewers ML roster, he's down at AAA. Grant Taylor isn't on the White Sox roster, he's in AA. There's more examples but live start is supposed to be one of the games main features. If the rosters aren't correct in the live starts the incentive to utilize live starts is diminished.

They could use a clean up for sure. Teams like my Astros have lots of injuries but their live roster is also not correct. If one of MLBs marquee teams over the last decade and a current first place team isn't correct, I can imagine how others look.

yea I had this happen too. They had Clarke Schmidt out for 3 weeks. Unless he has a magical UCL and a surgeon that could put both Dr James Andrews and Dr ElAttrache to shame, I don't think Tommy John is less than a month recovery.

Additional issues.

Max Scherzer should be on Jays roster, he's at AAA.

Brandon Woodruff not on Brewers active roster, he's also at AAA.

These are two high profile players who are somehow not on accurate rosters in the live start. There are plenty more examples, mostly injured players but this is an issue that should be addressed. Otherwise live starts aren't worth using.

I’m hoping that the draft order gets updated too since the Orioles traded for a competitive balance pick from the Rays.

When I checked yesterday the Astros were missing Zach Short, Cooper Hummel, and Kaleb Ort. Brice Matthews, Astros #1 prospect and #98 overall, also made his debut yesterday but is not on the Live Start. Yordan Alvarez was also on the MLB roster and injured for 3 days, he's not scheduled to be back until the Trade Deadline at the earliest.

But what I really didn't like is no 40-man roster at all. Jeremy Pena, World Series MVP and should've/could've been an All-Star this season, is injured and assigned to AAA, not on the 40-man roster at all. There were others that followed this pattern as well. Kind of crazy because you can go to MLB.com and look at the 40-man roster for every MLB team.

Ultimately this annoys uses such as myself because there is so much to be done in OOTP and under that consideration things should be set up to be as 'on-rails' as possible. It is tiresome spending a session fixing things and cleaning things up (like a Linux user) instead of actually enjoying the game (like a Windows user).

The Live Start data is fed by a third-party. It's not Lukas or Matt sitting up late at night moving players around. To the extent one is frustrated, surely so are they.
