Who had the most annoying windup/stretch?

[JayCutlersCig]

Hey, folks, just a matter of opinion.

I’ve been playing the game since release and have come across my share of obnoxious windups. No fault of the developer, here, but it’s annoying to see a pitcher with a five-second windup. An example? Daniel Mengden in Oakland. Oh my God. I can not tell you how much I hate batting against him; it’s not because he has good stuff, but it’s because his windup takes so GD long. Each AB feels longer than it should. Another example is Gant from the Cubs. I just don’t understand it.

Would like to hear some of the worst windups you all see in the game.

Pat Neshek did it for me back in ‘09. Not only did he have good pitches, but that submarine delivery always threw me off.

Chris Sale and Darren O'Day are two that just...can I not face them please?

Anyone who comes from way over at 1B/3B in a same-handed matchup.

Of course, that's like IRL and I hate it as much.

Honorable mention to Byung-hyun Kim's delivery. I gave it to a fictional I was about to face, figure I'd spice things up.

My goodness I could not hit him or even see the ball well. Had to be a 98-100 MPH guy too. RIP me.

Anyone who is a submarine pitcher, especially a good submarine pitcher. Trying to hit a 98mph sinker from a submarine pitcher is virtually impossible with my eyes.

Co-sign on mengden takes forever lol. Also sinker ballers I might as well just forfeit my outs. Also someone holds the ball in their glove above their head and like goes back and forth a couple times, can't remember who tho

Any windup that has a pause and a foot wiggle.

I'm not sure what bothers me more, the fact that it's so blatantly obvious that they are just trying to distract me or the fact that it works.

I can't pitch with Masahiro Tanaka. I think he has a pause when he steps out to the side, and again when his knee gets to the top of his windup. Between the amount of time it takes to pitch with him and how terrible my timing is on the meter, his leash becomes very short. I finally did the right thing in my franchise and traded him away so he can someday reach his potential lol.

Mengden from the A's is awful to bat against. Not a big fan of Iwakuma from the Mariners to pitch with. His wind-up takes just long enough to annoy me.

Parker, LA Angels. I wanna throw the controller at him he takes so long.

I'm surprised the foot wiggle doesn't become one of the unwritten rules you just don't do.
It seems so bush league, and it's a wonder it isn't a balk.
