Troy Tulowitzki DEBUT | Pack Squads Finale MLB The Show 26

It took all season, 50 episodes of Pack Squads, and it all leads to this moment. We finally get to debut 99 Troy Tulowitzki, and man, Tulo, it still blows my mind that I have been on YouTube for 10 years now. The OGs remember that gold Tulo pull is what started it all. 1-16, 1-06, 1-01 contact vision, 1-11 clutch, 1-07, 1-14 power, elite defense, 99 arm strength, 81 speed. We're also going to be making the online debut for Albert Pujols, who is all loaded up as well. And on the mound will be the 99 Felix Hernandez, who is another legend this year that I just have not really used much. Today's lineup for this Pack Squad's finale will be Pete Crowe Armstrong, Troy Tulowitzki, Shohei Otani, Albert Pujols, Ketel Marte, Andrew Jones, Sean Figgins, Jose Ramirez, and Jorge Posada. Before you know it, we're going to be talking about MLB The Show 27. The playoffs are going to be over in just a couple of weeks, and it's going to be November before you know it. I am very excited to get into more franchise content, more non-Diamond Dynasty content, and then when MLB The Show 27 rolls around, We're going into pack squads with a much better plan. He's got Johan Santana on the mound. Oh my gosh, you want to talk about flashback to my childhood. Johan Santana versus Felix Hernandez. Felix Hernandez is going to take the bump for the first time in the warehouse. Cutter in, jammed him. That's our first out with Felix. First pitch fastball again. Got in on them hands. That's Tulo's first play. Strike on the slider. Kind of using everything right now. Let's drop our first changeup with King Felix. just disgusting oh sometimes it's the last thing you're expecting oh yeah hanging slider and a one two count Tulo I thought we homered when i pressed the button but it is going to be an extra base hit for Tulo and he did throw the fastball let's say we're going to take off for third and we're looking heater we get the heater it's going to be an RBI base hit for Otani and we'll go up to second on the throw what a start to the game 1-1-3 off the bat as soon as I say that back door slider kisses the corner the O2 on Manny Ramirez to rip the tablecloth got him oh boy it's tied Willie McGee just abused that baseball out to the water oh my goodness let's see if he'll go way up out of the zone on a heater here he will popped it up first pitch cutter he scores one on the inning he ties it up let's fire right back this should be a high scoring game Andrew Jones the other way that's gonna be a warehouse bomb let it travel into the upper deck Andrew Jones goes upper tank the other way get up ball cutter right out over the middle timed up squared up Jorge Posada that's the second homer of the inning this time to dead center makes it 3-1 Get up. Pete Crow Armstrong. You can't even see the dot. What a swing. Go get it. Tulo. Tulo. George Olonsky does it all. Get that. Get that in there. Yeah, Felix. Start Matt Olsen with a slider just to be careful. We're going to get ground ball. Should have been Tulo's. J-Ram at shortstop. He doesn't get the throw off in time. Just canceled it because we were in the yellow. He was going to be safe all the way. We have a runner on first now for Adrian Beltre. What a lineup this guy has. Can I have my ground ball to short, please? He's going to change up straight down. We have a waste pitch. That was off another one. This is an Adrian Beltre at bat if I've ever seen one. We'll go classic slider in the other batter's box. Good pitch. Another K. Tulo doubled in a two-strike count last time up. This time he gets a changeup. He's going to poke it out to center. And the cycle Tulo is two for two with a single and a double. Let's get him another stolen base here. Let's get him. Go, go, go, go, go. Not the best jump. And it was a fastball. Oh, no, no, no, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You're there, you're there, you're there. Oh, he dropped the throw. I was going to go back because we were hosed if he got a perfect throw. But we get the stolen base. Oh, and now Otani. Drop in. He's not going to drop in. I will test the arm, though. I will stay. Do damage, Albert. Base hit up the middle. Both debut cards with a single in the third inning, and we score our fourth run of the game. Perfect, perfect. And we anchored in on that. I had a feeling. He's just trying to work the inside half to the righties. It's not going well. One big swing here would be devastating for him. Throw the fastball. Throw the breaking ball! Stay fair! Andrew Jones down the line! Splat! Ew. That's that Johan changeup I grew up watching. But we're up to seven runs through three. We have a six-run lead. Got Cole Carrick to climb the ladder there, 2-2. Now we're just going to slice a slightly elevated slider inside. But we got a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad pinpoint. I'm gonna bear down put it in the perfect spot. That's the Tulo tool ball, but I'll take the strikeout takes off for second Perfect throw he's hosed Got him at second and we're in a 1-2 count here We get him looking on this fastball and he's gonna turn his PlayStation off. He's gonna turn it off He's gonna turn it off. I knew he wasn't ready for here. He was really new You know, I've been spamming change-ups the last two innings. I just call the whole sequence. Did we call the whole sequence? well see friends what i like to do in these situations is let that timer run let it run a friendly quip in a in a i mean come on that's more like it 51 and 14 on the year not bad 18 total bases seven runs scored that's 25 points you get a 10 point bonus for the multi-homer game with Andrew Jones puts us at 35 points stole one base with Tulo puts us at 46 seven strikeouts with Felix Hernandez bumps us up to 53 and of course we get a choice pack because we won the game but let's play another one and try and add to it 53 and a choice pack just for fun though we will open our choice pack right now let's do the live series imagine we pull like Judge or Ohtani right now the 88 plus it is in fact purple purple Yoshinobu Yamamoto here we go on the road this time and We're playing Gengar. Pete, I haven't played at Laughing Mountain in a while. Is that going to travel? It will not. Pete hits it to Pete in center field. Ah, hanging curveball. Pulled the trigger a little bit late. Oh, okay. A barrel, a just missed, and then a horrendous at-bat. Ground ball to first base. One out. That's the guy you don't want on base. Brings up Giancarlo. If we can limit him to a single, that'd be nice. I'll take a strikeout. Let's start him with a sinker. Get Tulo some action. I can't get a ground ball to shortstop to save my life. Nasty, dude, oh, my gosh. That was so slow. Chad, 100 on the corner, two strikeouts on the inning. Otani doesn't let a ball get out of the infield. Albert, oh, no. Back-to-back innings, a barrel for an out, 117 for an out. Get out ball. Ketel Marte dropped the barrel on it. We strike first off the scoreboard out and left. 4-0-1 for Ketel Marte. Another one of the guys that have just been on the team forever. And did we? Did we? Yeah! Let's go for a third win. Five points for the homer. Two strikeouts. That's seven points, which brings our 53 total up to 60 points now. And we have another choice pack. So let's open the choice pack and jump into a third game to try and get the 60 up over 100. I'm forgetting the 25-point win bonus. Add 50. We're at 110. choice pack let's open a vault pack we get a choice that's why i want to rip it and we are you kidding me Yamamoto are you at least the bullpen's fully rested let's win another here we go we're on the road again this time Liam Doyle i'm so sick of facing Doyle's baseball splitter slurve cutter it's my first time seeing this fella in ranked and we are sadly in minute made this is one of my least favorite mlb ballparks to play and the ball just doesn't travel to center field at all that's a really bad swing on my part the ball doesn't travel to center center field here at all uh the outfielders get good jumps on the balls and the gaps used to be tough gaps it's a weird stadium the score runs you got if you pull the ball you can hit a lot of homers but the one won the tool oh he's two for three oh my goodness we were late i didn't know doyle had a hundred in his bag let's lock in i tried real hard to hold up but i just straight up fat thumbed that one real bad Ohtani ground ball right side we hit that sinker well but it's three up three down just like the last game that's okay let's pitch another good change up another foul ball let's see how far he'll go up let's change the eye level change the eye level yeah the grub we got a bunch of waste pitches though let's see if we can get him way outside the zone here and we can just bounce Posada will make the throw three up three down a scoreless first frame get through Albert Pujols leads off the inning with a knock now we're gonna roll a two ball that's a really really good splitter I can't even be mad at it it's way too early man and then Andrew Jones I dropped my PCI and that's probably going to be caught at the wall yeah knew it off the bat just that was very hittable and ugly two innings here in game three strike three go make that play Posada has been agile from behind the plate oh not not like that man no one even scored yet get me out a minute made let's make it four and oh why not let's do it again we'll use our our choice pack here we didn't even get any points from gameplay and our choice pack is a waste a 5k quick sell on 89 wbc cards that came out seven months ago here we go back in the warehouse this time Roger Clemens on the mound and we have to hit Jake Arrieta we get one more quick rage quit Felix is going to be back on the mound already that's a good start bulldog roge with a strike out and a point just trying to clip the corner here Roger Clemens paint Gabby Moreno steps in the 1-0 sinker base hit up the middle i can't get the Tullo grounder it's just not gonna happen good take runner's gonna move up to second base that opens up first for Adrian Gonzalez though so i will nibble here no matter what the runner's already in scoring position i'm gonna go right back up there we're gonna bear down three strikeouts on the inning for Roger Clemens only one ball in play but a walk put a runner up in scoring position a wild pitch weird inning Throws an elevated slider. All right. I did not guess right at all through the last three or four pitches of that sequence. But we run a six-pitch at-bat. Here's Tullo in that first-pitch sinker. Give me that first-pitch sinker. Troy Tulowitzki barreled up the center, and there's our first Tullo homer. 4'46", no way. Four feet short of a distance bonus. He's got a single, double, and a homer in the episode. We take a 1-0 lead. and now Ohtani trying to go back to back i don't think we hit it to the right bottom bar we kind of went straight up in the air oh another slider elevated fight off a sinker now now off a sinker the up and away sinker like what is this at bat elevated slider up and away that one's in fair there's no way that at bat ends on a line out there's no way Tullo goes yard oh first pitch Swing and Marte got on top of a heater. Ground ball to first. Chest high fastball. He hit it on the ground. Looking for that same sinker Tullo got. Went slider this time, but we were anchored in. It was a little off the end of the bat, but that's going to be a warehouse homer. Land in the water. Splash! A 10-point swing for Andrew Jones. His third home run of the video. Sean Piggins now back up the middle. 99 speed on first base. He wants to run. He said, let me run, so let's let him run. Terrible jump, but he can fly. Ground ball up the middle. Jose Ramirez. Oh, he throws it the first. I should have just stayed. I should have just stayed. I should have just stayed. I should have just stayed. You got to get down. All right. Off the end of the bat. I think that's going to get out of here. Jorge Posada will also splash land in the water. Just go, just go, just go, just go, just go. Oh, he throw canceled. Got him. Now, on that note, I'm going to try and run a fastball. Just nip the Kona. Perfect pitch. That's a perfect pitch Roger Clemens. Sixth pitch of the at-bat. and Albert Pujols on the 20th pitch he sees in the game already hits a solo shot into the stairway of the pool a five point swing for Albert a five nothing lead for the Rockets all right the rocket's gonna strap in with a five nothing lead the rocket's gonna strap in with a four run lead popped it up okay after the homer we got a quick one pitch one out we're gonna lock back in oh another one of those why not he didn't see that well oh he almost went after that one now let's just zig the other way at 100 miles per hour and put it on the corner perfect spot right 103 ew i bought it right that almost got out there's not many balls straight down the corner in this building that won't get out andrew jones perfect perfect single loud single i thought it was a homer we got to it i thought it was gone j ram ground ball right side sneak through it's going to sneak through we're gonna try and go to third base he's gonna throw it oh oh he pump fakes we're gonna be on the corners on one to Posada anything but a two ball i'll take a three run shot and a rage quit no way let's take off for a second see if he throws it and then go home wouldn't have mattered absolute bomb to dead center make it seven to one and as a matter of fact make it four and oh 20 total bases, 8 runs scored is 28 points 2 water balls adds 10 points, puts us at 38 points 1 stolen base is 39 6 strikeouts with Roger Clemens puts us at 45 We get 25 points for the race quit, puts us at 70 Bringing our grand total for the episode up to 180 points What a wild ride We finished the year 54-14 with a lot of points to spend. And I'm going to keep playing on this account to unlock packs and make other content throughout the offseason, so stick around. But if you're not following me on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, go do that. Help a brother out. It's going to be huge for me at the end of the year. Need to pump up those other platforms. Choice pack. We're going to do our final vault pack. There's no way we stick under 90s again. 94, roll this Chapman. All right, at least we got a good player. let's open up all the chase packs we have sitting here why not pack 21 Adrian Beltre's the feature it's a blue diamond 85 Shea Langeliers let's open up chase pack 26 99 Jorge Posada he's been a dog for us all year do we upgrade to the 99 on the last day we didn't it's 85 Cody Bellinger let's open this mid-summer classic pack see if we can't get these 98s out of here we got 96s all right Home run derby pack, same thing. Press our luck for Jordan Walker. How about 24 Ballins? Ballins have actually been the best packs to me this year as far as diamond pull rates and the 90-plus live series diamond pulls. My better ones have been out of Ballins this year. 24 of these. See how these do. I'm going way past 180 points, by the way. It's the last episode. Who cares? Christopher Sanchez. We stacked the points as a formality. We were always ripping these packs. Did we just double down on the same pack, same slot? What? What was that? 18 balling is a habit. Another diamond. Tyler Glass now. That's three diamonds out of like seven packs, by the way. I'm telling you, the ballings are cracked. The ballings are cracked. Brandon Lau, higher rated than Vladdy Jr. What a year. He would have told me that at the beginning of the season. My fantasy teams would have been nasty. William Contreras had one of my favorite pimped singles I've ever seen in that Game 2 NLCS yesterday. Garrett Cole, 11 more. I have a good feeling we're about to get a 90-plus to end the year out of one of these ball-ins. It's coming. All right, at least give me some kind of diamond. Get it going again. Let's warm it back up at least a half-dozen ball-ins here. Joe Ryan is one of my favorite pitchers to watch when he's on. That guy's fastball is gross. Ronald Acuna Jr. Four more. I auto-flipped that one because I had a bad feel to it. We auto-flipped Ronald. I had a bad feeling about it. We got a good diamond coming here out of one of these last two packs. Big diamond time here. last pack look for Zach Britton it's not even a goal my final notes for the year and i hope sds is listening you gotta get more creative with packs next year man you put so much effort in the packs you spam packs all over the game there's packs in every drop it's packs packs packs packs packs packs packs but there's no nuance to it because of how content and collections are structured where half of of a collection is in that themed pack people feel they they need the players from the pack in order to get that done and when we never get good pulls and you never give us the good packs for free opening packs becomes annoying and stressful it feels like homework what used to be a super fun part of the game that people love i now feel weird even making pack squads videos sometimes because i hate promoting these packs they're so bad they're just filled with collection filler junk and then you have to go buy the good players off the marketplace to finish your collections and it's all just so overly structured around that distinct process spam you with packs very very very very very very very rarely give you anything actually good and then hope that you spend your stubs to buy those last few players from the packs that you're never going to pull because you need them from the collections there's no nuance to it it's the same thing over and over again every single set every wednesday and friday whatever the content drops are it's the same thing over and over and over and over and over again stop making the packs so necessary for the collections when a spoiler when player of the month comes out at the beginning of the month and we're doing a there's a big play a player of the month collection that we're trying to complete in the game give us more things to do the grinds are just just grind grind grind grind for a deluxe pack and then you gotta buy the expensive players it's boring man i'm not saying there can't be players and packs that you need to give that there's always going to be one or two players in every every set that are really rare and really hard to find that's not what i'm arguing i hope this is getting through because i need 27 to get back to the roots of this game which is fun it seems to me and i don't necessarily blame the people that are that are behind the wheel right now because they weren't a lot of the people behind the wheel at sds right now we're not behind the wheel mlb 18 through 22 when this game went through so much highs and lows and so much innovation there's so many modes and and many modes and subsets of this game now that need to be updated probably hard to get anything new in the game with how much they have to update in it but you got to figure something out because you have lost a significant chunk of the OG community this year. You got to make this game better because eventually they're going to share that license with EA, and you and I both know they've been trying to get MVP back for a while now. You got to clean it up.
