    Re: Do you think it's cheating to use the new DD pitcher?

    So after reading this post, I went to the marketplace and picked him up, slotted him into my SP slot and bam! He was starting on his first day on my roster.

    I'd say he's 'meh'

    After giving up a lead off HR, I pitched him 4 innings w 7 K's, then I pinch hit for him in a tight game... His 90's fastball seems to come in 'slow' imebotsuper impressed w pitching w him

    Anyhoots, he's out of my rotation now.

    Cheers.
    George Bell forever!

      What I hate the most is: scoring from 2nd on a bunt.

        Played this guy for the first time today. Couldnt hit him. Lost something like 3-1. And before that I played a Nolan Ryan and won 4-2 after coming from behind (and the guy wasnt all that good but had a stud team).

        I still like this mode a lot and like that I can build my own team. I have mostly gold position players with a couple gold pitchers and some solid silver players but crap like this irritates me. Suppose you cant do much about a crappy pitcher that plays like a stud.....

        Part of me likes that it's possible to get solid players on your team, but I hope next year it's a little tougher to build a super team. They didn't make Diamonds, Legends and Golds that hard to come by this year.

          Yeah, as many others above have said, we know that small ball is a part of the game. It's just way too much a part of this and it seems to be 99% reward and 1% risk.

          I put Wade at catcher and he's got maxed out defensive stats---still can't throw out guys at 2nd, and I HAVE NEVER THROWN A GUY OUT AT 3RD. If they forced you to actually have to time the steal, that'd be better. But as MrOldBoy stated, you just have to press L2.

          Meanwhile I'm playing guys who have a man on 2nd with no outs, Ted Williams at bat, and I get surprised with a bunt, which ends with Ted Williams on base, and the guy from 2nd somehow being able to get home because the time it takes to pick up a surprise bunt, throw it to first, and back to home, is way too long.

          Suicide squeezes are way too easy. And getting a hit with a 90+ speed guy is essentially a triple.

          I don't really mind facing any kind of pitcher. I personally dislike using Niekro even though I'm effective with him, but throwing knuckles isn't really what I have fun doing.

            I think I finally got the hang of hitting Gamboa. I've killed him the last few times i've face him but I still despise anyone who uses him. Especially the last guy I just played because he had diamonds and legends at every position.

            1st inning I crushed a knuckle right in the middle of the plate with Brantley that went over the Green Monster. in the 4th I singled with Brantlley, ground rule doubled with Rizzo, and then when my created player Bo Jackson came up the guy tried to throw a high fastball and I hit a line drive HR to right.

            he quit after that. I still can't get over the fact that he had Dee Gordon (bunting and stealing ofc), Carew, Dawson, Clark, Posey, Donaldson, and Floyd but decided to put a bronze in his lineup. it's ridiculous, I bet he had R.A. Dickey and Niekro too the scumbag.
