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.

  • Let's go Red Sox let's go! "clap clap"

  • that nerdy pen and paper baseball game is called fantasy baseball and no Phil, they don't wear Wizard hats and roll dice...well maybe no dice

  • REINER ACTUALLY SAID THE CUBS SHOULD HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES?! I love silly cubs fans. Cardinals forever
  • I hope the curse never reaches 150 years, for the sake of all Cubs fans.

    GO YANKEES!!!!!

  • The best baseball game ever, that being said we could use a new MVP or High Heat Baseball game!!

  • thanks reiner and phil, not too much into baseball but this was entertaining nontheless

  • Oh yes, and the Indians are the second-greatest team in baseball.  Good thing they kept Sabathia and Lee :)

    "He's gonna wanna keep that ball down." - thanks for the brilliant advice, sir.

    Too bad it was Prince being beaned than his old friend Braun.

    Oh speak of Sabathia... thanks game!  Hey Reiner, mutual misery.  Mets and Pirates and Royals fans can join too.

  • They should definitely show the fight, and it should be a QTE

  • I don't ever play baseball games but this one looks pretty good.

  • You guys are adorable. Is it okay to call two fully grown men adorable? Nope, not asking, you are and I have decided this is now fact, am changing the Wikipedia entry as we speak.

    Also, I want to thank Phil for translating all that overly complicated Baseball jargon into simple to digest words. I almost had a panic attack when Reiner started speaking in tongues about home runs but all Phil had to say was Limit Break and I found my footing again. Hoorah!

  • Cubs best team in baseball is the best joke ever

  • This might be the first baseball game I buy in about 8 years...

  • Heh... with a kid on the way my MLB 12: The Show fund is non-existent. Depressed I can't get it this year :(

  • I wish I owned a PS3 just to get these games and destroy the virtual MLB with the Yankees.

  • GREAT job Phil, That's exactly the same thing I would be doing, Hitting every guy at bat haha. Not a baseball fan, Hadn't played any Baseball games since NES or SNES.

  • hey Andrew reineir Cubbs SUCK GO CARDNAILS!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO

  • I wish I could check this game out myself. I tend to love renting baseball games and playing them for a week (not a huge fan, but it's fun for a little bit). Now that my local renting places are dead, I can't do that. :(

    Oh well, great video as always.

  • Phil loves hitting people in the head with baseballs and so does any worthwjile entertainer, so i can tell hes in the right bis.

  • Glad to see some love for the Cubbies! :D
  • Why even bother with this Quick Look, er...I mean, Reiner and Phil Play?  Reiner didn't talk about anything of substance related to the game, at least not up through when they started the Home Run Derby™.  I checked out at that point, realizing the video was one long, stupid joke.  I hope next time Phil is all dewy eyed over a game they bring in someone to do the Quick Look, I mean, Reiner and Phil Play, that hates the genre so that person can make fun of it and crap up the entire video.
