Purely out of random curiosity, what are you more comfortable with?

Man, it's interesting that several folks prefer LHB. I can't hit consistently with a LHB for the life of me. The only exception was Brandon Moss, for some reason. I think it had something to do with his stance. With a guy like Rizzo, I simply couldn't see the ball. I had similar problems with Reddick.

In Diamond Dynasty online, I am hitting .382 vs RHP and .410 vs LHP. My lineup is mainly righties and switch hitters too.

I love inside pitchers to a left handed hitter... trying to catch up to a fastball is easiest for me when jamming my thumb up and to the right with the right stick. Turning on an inside fastball in this game is like the funniest thing.

I think it had something to do with his stance.

People with weird stances always throw me off the first couple of pitches. Plus, I always check my swing before every pitch and people with weird stances just always puts me in a bad mood before the pitch even gets there.

I think I may hit a tad better with lefties, but I prefer the platoon advantage either way.

Also, it feels to me like the camera is subtlety tilted in favor of the platoon advantage(Default Catcher Cam). So if you're a LHH facing a RHP, or a RHH facing a LHP, the camera is offset just a bit, giving the hitter with the platoon advantage a slightly better look.

I wish I could remember which guy that was, but I traded for the humper in my A's franchise as a replacement for Coco, whom I let walk. I liked his attributes, but once I saw him at the plate I regretted my decision. In the interest of realism, I couldn't just ship him back out, so I think I'm going to say that the hitting coach has suggested a new stance .

With any pitcher R or L, I hit much better with a left-handed batter. I will do about .260 with M. Cabrera and yet do .360 with Stephen Drew. All the seasons I have done, one each since '07, I've won batting titles with lefty batters (3). The funny thing is that in real life, I batted right handed. Go figure.
