Pitchers you struggle against this year.

Re: Pitchers you struggle against this year.

The last two times I faced Max Scherzer, he's taken a No-Hitter/Perfect Game into the 7th. Dude is a control freak, and it dooms me when he continuously paints the corners.

He does. However, he also throws a fastball. My plan against him is to wear him out, force him to throw as many pitches as I can, and try to do damage when I get a pitch that I can hit. I don't feel nearly as hopeless against him as I do the junkballers. I think that the last time I faced him, he was shutting me out through five or six innings, but then I got him for four or five runs and chased him from the game.

Robbie Ray and Nova also kill me every time too. Guys who specialize in slow, low curveballs and changeups just leave me helpless. Generally, any pitcher who doesn't throw a 4 seam or 2 seam fastball is going to have his way with me. Graveman of the Pirates just pitched a full game, three hit shutout against me last night.

My all time biggest struggles were against Brandon Webb, who threw a devestating sinker, low and in the zone all game long. Nothing but grounders to the middle infield and strikeouts, all game long.

Oh yeah Robbie freaking Ray was maybe the most annoying pitcher I've gone against. I absolutely could not hit him except for a solo shot that I kind of got lucky on. His curveball and changeup are both really annoying.

Soft tosers. Anyone who throws a change up or slider as their main pitch. Just can’t adjust to that breaking ball.😡
