Players You Just Can't Use (Tips-Advice)
This morning I got the 20 pack deal and I pulled a Wade Davis, Ian Kinsler and Dallas Keuchel. Trouble is... everytime I get a Keuchel start, I give up at least 1-2 HRs and a lot of hard contact. I don't understand how to use him. I try to keep everything low but it seems like when I use his Slider and Two-Seamer, I get crushed. Any tips on how to use Keuchel?

Re: Players You Just Can't Use (Tips-Advice)
I'm awful with Beltre and Stanton. With Stanton, I either get out or hit a homer. Really no in between. With Beltre I just suck. Had his regular card and was awful with him but I chalked it up to his hitting stats being just okay so I got his 98 card with no improvement. In fact I hit worse with the 98 somehow. It's just all about finding who works with you. Some people rake with Stanton, others dont. Some people can't hit with Rasmus but I can. It's just personal preference and I just so happen to not prefer slow swinging righties.
As for pitchers that's all about finding pitches you have success with and going from there. I'm pretty good with pitchers who have more control rather than power pitchers. So I go for players like Cliff Lee, Wainwright, Fister, etc. I feel like if I have a pitcher who can hit his spots I can turn him into a power pitcher even with a 90 mph fastball because I can get you guessing non stop and that 90 mph fastball will look like 98 when you don't expect it. I've had the same issue you are having though and I think it's just sliders. They seem to dip rather than slide so it's more of a hanging curve than a slider. The only way I throw a slider is if I'm back dooring someone. Otherwise I just stay away from them all together. -

Yeah, I really don't know what it is. My top-two spots in my DD lineup I hit best with (Adam Eaton and Justin Turner) but there are some guys im flat out terrible with. Oh, and I am filthy good with Colby Rasmus, he's even my cleanup hitter.
As far as pitching goes, it's crazy... I don't know if it's familiarity or what but I suck with guys like Pat Neshek (at 88) and Papelbon (91) but absolutely kill it with FB Chris Sale (RP, 82ovr). I think I pitch best with power guys like Sale, Rodon, S. Gray, Archer, etc.Comment

JD Martinex I was terrible with for the first 15 or so at bats. I sold him and then was like let me give him a 2nd chance. 8 HRs later and now batting .435 with him after the next 40 abs. He is no doubt an underrated card for his price.
I simply can hit with Mookie Betts and Jose Abreu. Dont know what it is but Im hitting under .100 with 50+ abs with both of them. Just cant seem to figure them out.
Any suggestions on a good righty 1b bat other than Abreu. Thought about Edwin but in need of a righty!!!Comment

try mixing things up a little more, you say you're "trying to keep everything low" well most hitters sit on the bottom half of the zone. Nibble at the corners a little more, I've never used him so I don't know for sure, I always kind of wondered why his Price was so low, maybe he's just not that good in the gameComment

I've got him as well and is a different type of pitcher and won't blow anyone away. You need to be able to work the black with him and then he is scary good. He will get lit up once in a while if you miss your spots it's just you need to be accurate with him and you can't hope to squeeze a fastball by someone in the middle of the zone.Comment

Yea I have keuchel as well and he is my ace by far 6 games pitched with him 1 earned run! You just gotta paint the black like he said ^ he doesn't throw fast just mix it up I start the batters out with different pieces each time and mix the pitches his change up followed by the slider is deadly for me.Comment
