Reiner And Phil Play MLB 12: The Show

My best friend Reiner and I have been on a lot of adventures together, but nothing could have prepared us for the epic RPG journey that is MLB 12: The Show.

While Reiner babbles on about something called "based ball" (??), I go into intricate detail about the intense, stat-based experience going on in this game. Can't tell your mages from your warlocks and your critical hits from your armor class? Don't worry, everyone, I'm here to help.

Seriously, though, even if you're not terribly interested in MLB 12: The Show, this video's pretty funny, and you should watch it. Check it out below and then watch older episodes of Reiner and Phil on our hub page.

  • So i assume the cubs are overrated as they are every year this game comes out... Go White Sox :)

    edit: holy crap those stats are horrible for the cubs i take it back
  • Prince Fielder was liking his new team, then he took a baseball to the knee.
  • The only game I ever played regarding "based ball" is Ken Griffy JR Major league on SNES which I seemed to love.  Although I cant remember why.  I cant tell you how much I identify with Reiner here though.  

  • Go Cardinals!

  • @AndrewReiner im from Detroit and i am a huge tigers fan and i dont appreciate you supporting the beaning of my teams players... especially our new 214 million dollar toy Prince Fielder. You can be sure that I'll be aiming a 104mph Justin Verlander fastball right at your precious Starlin Castro's noggin or groin, i havent decided yet. Here's to another 100 years to the curse of the billy goat :)
  • Reiner, I've been a fan for years. You do good work. But as a Sox fan, this completely wrong Cubs talk makes me want to cancel everything GI related.
  • Royals! Royals!
  • I'm just going to talk about everything that don't know about in RPG terms like Phil. That would make conversations waaaaay more enjoyable.

  • Sweetness. Reiner and Phil. Party. Bonus.

  • O David DeJesus. I'd call you a bust but, then again, all we gave up was Vin Mazzaro. Cant wait to see Cespedes patrolling the OF instead of you though lol. Anyway, the game looks great, as always. I cant wait to get back home and play it. I cant wait for your review to come out because this was definitely not informative at all lol. I'd ask a couple questions but I'll wait to see if you answer them in your review. Also, I might just find out some of the answers on my own when I go home tomorrow. And also, boo Cubs. Go A's!! Lol, just kidding. We're pretty much in the same boat
    Edit: Except for the fact that you guys have more money, a nicer stadium, and a much larger fan base
  • As a Cubs fan, Phil just made that video fairly painful to watch, but past the hitting of the players on the opposite teams, that might have been an accurate reflection of how our season will actually go. The last world series win was in 1908, so anyone alive would have to be at least 104 years or older. The last time we made it to the series was in the 1930's or 40's however. The curse did not get placed until 1945.
  • HAHAHA Phill kept hitting the people with the balls...I do the same thing when I play baseball games

  • If your looking for nerdy baseball game just pick up Strat-o-matic Baseball

  • Mod

    Ah the joy of hitting someone with a baseball. We've all been there Phil lol.

    Go Rangers!

  • Switch hitter lol Reiner you troll

  • Looking forward to watching my Tigers this season =D
  • Ooooooohh my.

  • GO YANKEES!!!
  • I wish they had this game for the Xbox 360, definitely the better baseball series for sure
