Reed Johnson IS Mark DeRosa: MLB 09 The Show

No source and no quote as this comes straight from my playing as the cubs in MLB 09 The Show. I didn't think this was worth a FanPost, but whenever i pinch hit with Reed Johnson, the announcer awkwardly proclaims that "Mark DeRosa" is coming off the bench to hit. It really just makes me miss Mark Derosa...can anyone else attest to this happening? It is only when you bring RJ in to pinch hit, not for defense or if he is starting. gratzi

Same thing in my game

noticed it the first day i got the game when the announcers said the Mark Derosa was on deck, and it was really Reed Johnson. Did you notice at all that the Cubs cannot hit for Sh** in the game? I think the show is hating on the 09 Cubbies.

hitting takes some getting used to

but if you can guess right on a pitch you’ll smoke it – bradley hit two HRs in one game for me via “guess the pitch” whereas he hadn’t hit any before I started trying it out

Hahah

that’s funny but watching the WBC last night and seeing DeRo got me sad too. Then he got beaned and Sut was laughing at him haa.

Opening Day 2009 can't come soon enough!

Me too...

I just saw his AB where he walked with the bases loaded I believe.

Someday we'll go all the way...

to a DeRosa for Johnson trade coming this summer
