What player can't you hit with??

Re: What player can't you hit with??

I become a Ganderson fan when he played with the Yankees. I play a Mets franchise just because of him. But man I can't hit with him. I've played 5 games of my franchise and he is 2-21 with 2 little singles. Other players are hitting well as I'm 4-1 in those games. I know I try too hard when Granderson is at bat and I'm too aggressive trying to hit a homer or extra base hit. I'm tempted to start my franchise over because of his poor start.

Who is "that guy" for you?

I think I get to aggressive with Posey and I think he can hit everything so I find myself swinging at bad pitches. When I tell myself to chill and be patient I am way more successful with him

i think this is a valid point. i usually struggle to hit with my favourite players. i try to do too much and end up bringing their numbers down.

Funny, I'm amazing with Bautista.

I think my counter-x factor are the poses where they stand up straight. I can see how having your favourite player at the plate could be it though, but for me, I'm really calm with Bautista there. And when he walks, I feel like I played him right.

McCutchen for me....I play on Legend difficulty and like the rest of you, I get too aggressive with my superstars thinking that they can/should hit any pitch in the zone. Then I take a deep breath, look middle-out, and usually he hits a frozen rope to left center. Its about getting into a hitters count and making that pitcher pay for the fastball.


I really like how pitchers will continue to throw pitches you struggle with, forcing you to change your approach. No better feeling then seeing their confidence meters go down on their breaking pitches because you were smart enough to lay off. Then you get to sit dead red...

I always know if I'm in for a long day at the plate if a pitcher is spotting his curveball on the corner

Re: What player can't you hit with??

In '14 and '15, it was Giancarlo Stanton, this year, it seems to be Miguel Sano.

I was reading that Sano's high discipline rating causes pitchers to throw more stuff out of the zone, but it doesn't feel like that to me, at all. For some reason, I am always behind in the count with him, and I rarely chase. Pitchers just constantly bury breaking balls on the outside corner, and I'm always sitting 0-2 or 1-2, and have to try to battle my way back into the count. He gets pitched to differently than every other player on my team.

I also have a bad tendency to get excited when I get a pitch up, or inside that I can pull with him about every 3rd game, that I swing early, and rip a 400 ft foul.

I can probably hit around .240 with him, but that's mainly from spraying 2 strike pitches, with contact swing, so he hits for absolutely no power. I'll need to change my approach. Maybe start protecting the outside corner a little more, and just trying to go the other way with him, so pitchers stop abusing it on me. It's never bothered me that they are trying to pitch him low and away, they should, but it can start to feel a little crazy with the frequency of pitches that they can rip through the strike zone, and paint the edges with. I just wish a few more would miss outside, haha. Time to adapt.

Last year it was definately McCutcheon for me, I turned off fair trades and budgets and absolutely stacked a franchise team, the whole team was hitting .350-450 while Cutch was struggling to crack the Mendoza line. He's not one of my favourite players or anything just for some reason he couldn't get any love!

This year so far it's been Yoenis Cespedes although he seems to be coming around. I also did a battle royale with 99 Mariners A-Rod and he hit .000 in 14 games

Re: What player can't you hit with??

So far for me, in my test chise(while I wait for OSFM), it's Travis d'Arnaud. About 10 games in, still have yet to get a hit with him. Which is too bad, he's one of my favorite players, always want him to succeed. Last year it was Freddie Freeman, for some reason just couldn't get things going with him.

He is a tough ballpark too. I'm thinking he should be hitting 40 HRs when I should be happy with the all the doubles and triples he can rack up with the North Side Notch in left center. Doesn't help he was cold zones on the inside part of plate. I guess I just really wanna hit one onto the rotunda.

Re: What player can't you hit with??

It used to be Starlin Castro. The only good thing about him being traded is that I won't have to see him below the Mendoza line in MLB 16.

im hitting amazing with Castro on my cubs franchise lol hes hitting .457 and leads the team in home runs from the ninth spot.

mine has always been Stanton i can hit .250 at best with little to no power last year adneiy had more hrs threw the first three months of the season

My RTTS player. Seems like every other pitch is a damn infield pop up. Gets old after awhile

Brian McCann is an automatic out in my line-up too. I've moved him all the way down to the 8th spot and still nothing. I play him because of his defense mainly.

On the flip side, Starlin Castro in the 9 hole, IS KILLING! He's batting .457.

Re: What player can't you hit with??

Nolan Arenado. Its bad..... real bad. like .075 over 30 games BAD w .000 RISP. I did the Rockies collection so he is stuck on my team. Him and McCutch are the only Diamonds I have and he is basically a pinch hitter against lefties at this point for me.

I definitely get pull happy. I'm constantly trying to pull it to the LF bleachers so I'm usually early on off speed pitches especially sliders away. But you're right when I'm patient and sit on it he def pushes the ball great. I hit pretty well with Brandon Belt and he's my second favorite hitter on the team but I feel like the CPU challenges him a lot more than Posey.

Re: What player can't you hit with??

I can't hit with Yadier Molina for the life of me. Even when the ball is in his hot zone, I still hit it weakly.
