Does the Show need to add this pitch to it's stable?

If they do, they'd better name it something else....

First time I've heard of such a thing. I had to look it up!

Splitter cutter hybrid? Two totally different pitches

Re: Slutter

Yes, but it's a very easy pitch. It will always perform on the first throw, but it's not a long-term pitch you'd want to keep around forever.

No, slider/cutter.

Apparently the Orioles don't allow cutters to be thrown so he tinkered with his and turned it into a hybrid and no it doesn't need to be in the game at all.

Re: Slutter

I'm be more than delighted to make slutters staples of my life, but not necessarily in The Show.

I think it will only exacerbate the "issues" that the Accurate-Pitch-Repertoire-For-2016 crowd have had with the pitch labeling system The Show uses. It would just be another avenue where people find inconsistencies in labeling things.

Longer term, I'd rather see a system where there are finer controls of actual physics of pitches, and not just on labels.

Re: Slutter

I believe Jonathan Papeldouche throws it as well.

The only thing he throws is fisticuffs.

Re: Slutter

Instead of adding in new pitches I'd rather we have some control over the movement of pitches similar to MVP 2005. Was great in that you could have a down-slider or a slow slurve-ish type breaking ball. I'd rather they reduce the number of pitch types and add in a movement option. For instance you could just have curveball instead of Curve, 12-6 Curve, Slurve, Sweeping. You'd just pick Curveball and 10-4 if you wanted more slurve type movement. I think you'd still want to differentiate things like fastball and sinker for commentary and aesthetics so that you knew who a sinker-ball pitcher was. But I think it would be awesome if we could have Wainwright and Fernandez both throw curveballs, just with different movement types associated with them. They already added in the pitch f/x movements which was a big step IMO already.

If I wasn't a MOD and did not care about my presence here on OS, I would answer this question honestly. Instead, I will just say NO!

Re: Slutter

This thread makes me giggle. Thumbs up.

Just keep it clean and leave the mothers out of it folks.

I wonder if Jake got embarassed when he went excitedly to his coach and said "Coach, I just learned a new pitch!"

"That's great Jake, what is it?"
