MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (9/6/15)

11:46 AM - September 6, 2015 by ChaseB

Another week is wrapping up in Diamond Dynasty. This week went by the books as we got the August Topps 50 pack on Friday. With that in mind, it's time to look ahead once again and try to predict who might be getting a ratings boost on Monday morning.

I'll be breaking the predictions into tiers based on my own confidence level.

Ratings Boost Probability: High

Jake Arrieta - All Arrieta did after throwing a no hitter was go out and throw eight shutout innings in his next start. He feels like a lock to get a boost. (For the record, after watching the replay of the no-no, the Dodgers� official scorer seemed to give Arrieta one relatively generous call somewhat early in the game by calling a could-be hit an error on Starlin Castro.)

Jackie Bradley Jr. - Wow, what a month (and really, second half) for Bradley. He�s got six home runs and an average over .400 the last month of the season. On the year, he�s got an OPS of .959. He�s put it together.

Agree completely with the assessment of the Cardinals. Also I honestly think that Jackie Bradley Jr. has learned, cough cough from David Ortiz.

Man no offense to you but I hate the viewpoint that a guy has one good month and he's juicing...he adjusted his swing and is taking a different approach. Plus it's one month not like he's guaranteed to keep up at even a less pace. Look at Travis Shaw a 4A player puts it together for a month then is slowly coming back to reality. Look at Daniel Nava put it together for a year then the league figured him out and back to AAA. Guys can get locked in for a month. I get you're slightly joking but man I HATE that viewpoint lol.

If Kiermaier doesn't get bumped this week after hitting around .400 with multiple HR's in a week and the highlight catch of the year it's a travesty, a sham, and a mockery. It's a traveshamockery!

Carlos Gonzalez is smashing the ball out of the park...I expect a boost for him.

Michael Conforto has been killing it.

Cardinals evil, wtf? 11 world series crowns & we know how to develop talent. That's why the entire MLB "tryin" 2 do what we do. Jus be happy Curse of Bambino broke & go listen to NKTOB & watch Mark " I don't do steroids" Wahlberg movies.

I never like McGwire as a Cardnial. Everybody knew he was roided out from his A's days. So ur post means what again. Cards never won with Strikeout or long ball Mac. He was a carnival show

Haha so it's not cheating if everyone does it but it's against the rules, and you're the only team that got caught.

But you're not cheaters, LOL

Ok good logic, See ya!

# 12 Mac1176 @ 09/07/15 02:21 AM

Apparently u can't read Bcuz I never said we aren't cheaters. Every team is cheating or bending the rules. Ur teams so trash nobody cares if u guys cheat. & what has the end result been in the "hacking" scandal? That's right nothin. GTFOH boy!

Holy crap fellas:

First off, the Cardinals being "evil" was a joke. It's meant as a compliment because all the Cardinals do is call up young players who end up playing well. I have nothing but respect for that organization's ability to develop talent. It's just not "fair" -- because they're not my favorite team -- they're so good at it was the point of the "evil" remark.

Plus, @BestFansStLouis has given me hours of joy, I can't hate Cardinals fans for that Twitter feed alone.

But either way, thanks for the compliments Mudd. It's good to know I'm so bad at something that I'm helping to ruin it by going to excessive extremes like saying an organization is "evil" in one line in a predictions story where I'm saying a Cardinals player should be upgraded.

My teams just won the Super Bowl, won a World Series in 2013 more recent then the Cardinals, when the whooped the Cardnials for the second time in 10 years in the World Series. Shall I keep going, you're embarrassing yourself with your lack of knowledge. Then making fun of a city for cheating, and then saying "I never said my team doesn't cheat, everyone does" is great logic LOL.

Everyone in here needs to chillllll with the my team is better than yours stuff. I don't want people to get banned.

OK so Votto got updated to Diamond, as we all know. So I still have Votto from completing the Reds collection. Do I get the achievement for getting a diamond even though I already had Votto as a gold?

My guess is no because the Trophy is triggered by pulling the card or having it pop up at the end of a game.

Alright just wondering. I think I may already have it, I think I got a pair of diamond batting gloves when I was doing the CCs.
