    Almost question here...is Jose Bautista garbage in this game with RISP?

    I am killing it with Lawrie, Encarnacion, Arencibia but Bautista just cannot hit with RISP.

    Does it have to do with his low clutch rating or just my altered approach with an allstar batter?

    In the past, I've had a hard time hitting with All-Star caliber players. I tend to swing at bad pitches more than with less talented players. Do you find yourself striking out with him a lot more? If so, you're probably chasing.

      haha yea striking out a whole lot more. IT seems like Bautista gets much tougher pitches compared to the others, but his clutch rating is really low though so it might have some effect.

      It might also be his batting stance and the leg kick that he does. Might be making my timing off abit.

        Ramone has stated that the clutch rating has little effect on the game that you are playing. I guess it's a sim rating mostly.

          I'm playing with a Jays franchise right now. I couldn't hick a lick with Jose Bautista but over the last 2 or 3 games I've started to finally get some hits. I found out my problem was I kept trying to jack every pitch out to LF and I wasn't doing that with the other guys. I had the same problem with Chipper Jones. But I just forced myself to relax and take my normal approach with them and I started getting hits. Heck even my last game I got 2 hits with Chipper including a homerun and a double with Bautista. And the game before that I got a triple with Bautista.

            I was using the Jays in a test franchise and the first few games he was the worst hitter in the lineup. I started being more patient with him and he evenually started cruhing the ball.


            I think it comes down to this. A: You get sucked in by the name of all-stars and feel they are super human so are much more confident they can hit anything.

            B: The pitchers give you much harder pitches. No one is going to give you consecutive and regular pitches right down the middle. You are going to have to wait to get the pitches you want.

            If you approach them like regular players you will hit with them.

              It's all on you, not Bautista. You think because he is Bautista you can get away with a lot more when you swing, and that's not necessarily true. Only those of us who truly appreciate him and are patient do well with him . I've killed many a pitch with the great Jose, but you can't just swing because you are thinking, "It is Bautista, if I swing, it'll go far, no matter what."

                Keep in mind too, that especially with Bautista, you won't get as many good pitches to hit. The CPU will actually pitch around you, just try to recognize those situations and try to draw the walk. Patience is very important with your beastly hitters. This can also be manipulated by who you have before and after him in the lineup, usually more benefiting the person batting before, since they will typically get good pitches to hit. Out of curiosity, who is batting before Bautista? And what do their stats look like so far?

                  In real life, Bautista hit under .250 with RISP last season..Maybe it's just that when batting with him, you're always trying for that big hit instead of just trying to get a run home. Though he still got 50RBIs despite hitting .245 with RISP last year

                    I noticed this in my RTTS. Once you get over 85-90 power they start pitching around you much, much more.

                      I felt the same way sometimes with Bautista, but it's hard to tell because I've had a bunch of Multi home run games with him as well. I think the computer will pitch around him more, and we swing at worse pitches at times.

                        I think it's just you having bad luck with the difficulty, Bautista is extremely good in this game even with RISP
                        Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.

                          Actually Ramone stated, " the clutch rating for the hitter and pitcher gives a boost with RISP". So with that being said. If he is struggling with RISP it might has something to do with "45 clutch ratiing".

                          The CPU teams do pitch somewhat around your best hitters, so you might have to put the old batter eye or the use guess pitch feature

                            Yeah but Ramone also said that it had a very minimal effect either positive or negative.

                              The thing I've noticed with Joey Bats so far (although its been through about 15 games), is that if there are RISP, they will absolutely shoot for corners, and not give you anything that is going to end up in the seats. All of my 6 HR's with Bautista have been with no one on, or no RISP. The best you can do is look for the right pitch and hope you drive it back where it came from.
