MLB The Show 17 Adds MLB Network with Harold Reynolds, Dan Plesac & Matt Vasgersian

Hey, it's better than the other Reynolds alternatives!

Good grief, i don't particularly care for harold reynolds myself, but i would never let him influence my decision on whether or not to buy something because he is affiliated with it. I really don't respect Puig as a ball player and felt he didn't deserve to be on the cover of The Show, but i still bought the game. I would still prefer hearing Reynolds this year than hearing whoever (lyons or karros) did the obnoxiously loud and off timed "hitting streak lines". Those lines made me regret having a player on a hit streak.

LOL And I thought my distaste for Harold Reynolds was strong...some people act like he cuckolded them or something. It's not that serious, bro

Ya boycotting the game is crazy but seriously he sucks. Ill get used to it but id be lying if i said i wasnt dissapointed with this news.

Lol!! I broke DiMaggios hitting streak in RTTS, proud moment for me! But man, those lines... 58 games in a row!

Hate to be a debbie downer... but as a stats guy, this is too hard to ignore... The statcast numbers that they are showing are laughably inaccurate to the point where this feature is an eyesore. You wouldn't want the tape measure to say you hit a 575 foot HR when it scraped the wall, so why would you settle for this fake data?

• Exhibit A: Andrus "sprinting" home at 18.42 MPH in the clip. Andrus is capable of hitting 20.9 MPH as per the screenshot below. A-Rod is capable of reaching 19 MPH, having been measured as fast as 20 MPH in 2015.

• Exhibit B: Justin Turner hits what is probably the farthest HR in MLB history. Exit Velo of 118.3 with a launch angle of 33.1?! For context, Kris Bryant hit a 495 foot bomb, the farthest HR of 2015, with a nearly identical launch angle. He only hit it 111.1 MPH. There have been two home runs in statcast HISTORY hit harder than that... both by Stanton. Both were at a launch angle below 25 degrees. The home run in the video is probably 525 feet plus based on "similar" home runs (which basically do not exist)

• Exhibit C: Troy Tulowitzki guns out a runner with an absolute laser to first. Love the animation, but 78 mph is a farce. Khris Davis, the fielder with literally the worst arm in the game, averages 78 MPH on competitive outfield throws. That throw is basically as hard as any I've ever seen in a baseball video game, and they're saying it's only 78 MPH. Per a Mike Petriello article from earlier this month, here are the 5 worst OF arms in baseball, measured by the top 5% of these outfielders throws from 2016.

Since it was a day game Adrus must of had some heat soak going on! Slower speed times.

Are you sure? That's a lot of analysis there.

Harold Reynolds has to be one of my favorite baseball commentators of all time! Something about his voice is just so unique and he knows what he's talking about. I remember when he was featured in a few tutorial/feature videos in the early days of MVP Baseball
