Who else here hates facing Pat Neshek
It seems like a lot of people have Pat Neshek in their bullpen and it frustrates me because I just can't hit this guy. He has the submarine delivery, a devastating fastball change up combo and an arm seemingly made of rubber. I've beaten some on the better relievers in the game like Chapman, Jansen, Davis and Kimbrel, but those guys don't give me fits the same way Neshek does. Who else here hates facing him. If you take against him what's your strategy.Tags: None -
Re: Who else here hates facing Pat Neshek
Yeah, he's annoying to face. I think the devs said that they worked on balancing pitch speeds so that we won't see drastic speed changes like Neshek has.
I've used him myself and he's a doubled edged sword. He can't throw heat so if your opponent doesn't bite on change ups outside of the zone, you are going to have issues. He also doesn't have good K/9 so when they do hit the ball, it gets crushed.
I went into practice mode, set Neshek as the opposing pitcher and spent hours learning how to hit his change up and not biting on slow pitches outside the zone. That's the only advice I have. -

That guy today I faced... He used Pat Neshek for 4 innings, plus he used Der Gordon, Kenny Lofton, Billy Burns, Jose Altuve, Mike Trout to bunt a steal...
I hate these exploiting bastards...

Re: Who else here hates facing Pat Neshek
He's tough. Especially if someone knows how to pitch and doesn't just feed you Circle Change after Circle Change. I good tip on that slow circle change is if it starts belt high or lower. Let it go. It's gonna fall out of the zone.Comment

Re: Who else here hates facing Pat Neshek
In 15 I had him in my pen throughout and only used him when the other person started using him. So far in 16 I packed him early on and he's in my pen but I have yet to use him.Comment

Re: Who else here hates facing Pat Neshek
I have duplicate Pat Neshek cards and refuse to use him out of principle. Seems like 70% of all opponents use him, and I don't want to be one of those gimmicky bastards.
When opponents keep me honest with high fastballs I struggle. Mostly I just sit changeup. It's bound to come eventually. The other day I took Neshek deep with Rizzo in the top of the 9th to go up 2-1. Take that, you cheap ****er!Comment
