Pitchers you hate the most and how you adjust

Re: Pitchers you hate the most and how you adjust

I need to see how a knuckleball looks delivered by a sidearmer or submariner. It's gotta be devastating.

My best chance of success against Kenley Jansen is to identify & lay off or fight off the cutter & slider for fouls, then hope he gives me a sinker in or very near the zone.

But the best thing is to never hear ''California knows how to party'' coming through your speakers to begin with.

Any really slow thrower. Give me the guys that throw 96-97 with movement. I really hate those 71 MPH curves, sliders that never seem to come to the plate but instead go sideways 59 feet and then forward in the last foot or those wiffle ball change ups. Changes that come in 80+ I can adjust to, those around 75-77? Much harder for me.

Oh and any pitcher with a very "wide" delivery. Probably an effect of the view I use but it throws off my distance perception and timing.

Adjustments: I tell myself "if I'm late, I'm on time". I'll also think opposite field, no matter who's up. This helps me stay back and read the pitch longer and swing later, which probably puts me closer to the timing I really need and helps me make better strike zone judgments.

And contact swings. I start aiming for the lines instead of the gaps.

Dodgers closer Jansen. Adjust? You don't. When he comes in with a lead, you hang it up and wait till the next round.

I just scored 3 runs off him to win the game on a walkoff homeru

Now that’s an idea for a RTTS pitcher. Make a submarine knuckleballer

Any pitcher that can effectively throw a low changeup. Absolutely kills me. Scherzer is the only pitcher I can think of off the top of my head that just owns me.

Preach. That low stuff kills me.

For the last 5 years, Tony Cingrani has made a living killing my late inning rallies, especially with Rizzo coming up. Now that Rizzo broke his hand in my franchise, I can't say that I've had much better luck with Tommy LaStella.

Same here and once you swing and miss at it, you're going to see it a lot until you lay off it. I'm getting better though, if I recognize changeup I just let it go as they rarely leave it up. It will occasionally catch the corner or bottom of the zone but otherwise it's rarely thrown for a strike.
