Everytime I brag up a pitcher I get shelled the next time I use him but I second MadBum. He's straight unhittable if you really know how to mix his arsenal well. Establish the fastball, work the cutter off it and then mix in breaking stuff when you need to. I really like him. That's partly why I wanted CC so bad was because he has a similar arsenal but more velocity.

Do you hit with him too? I’m not kidding when I say I go 2-4 or 3-4 with him every time. I rake easy gap doubles with him like crazy and have 5 HR and Triple as well. I’m so serious when I say I hit better with him than Thomas and Mays and that shouldn’t even be a real conversation........ever

At this point, my inability to do jack **** with Joe Morgan is costing me games. Ironically enough to guys who seem to use him effortlessly. My opponent's Joe Morgan went 3 for 6 and hit the go-ahead HR in extras. Mine went 0 for 6 and GIDP to kill my rally in the bottom.

Part of it is that my tendency to be early works against his lightning swing, but the biggest frustration is that every ****ing time I get good timing, it's weak contact.

Off the top of my head idk what I'm hitting with him. I know I have 1 bomb. Ironically enough I think I hit better with my other pitchers because #pitchersrake in this game

I’m in the same boat. I’ve got a bit slower reaction speed so guys like Thomas are a disaster for me to try and use.

A breakdown of guys with fast swings and guys with slow swings would be really cool. For people who tend to swing late they might want to stack their lineup with fast swingers. Guys who tend to be early a lot might want slower swingers. Unfortunately I don’t pick up on them as well as some of you guys do.!
