Re: PCI Change
I completely understand the PCI and how it works.
It is either going to have an impact on gameplay or it is not. It can't not affect the hitter, but then affect the pitcher's strategy.
If it does have an impact then that is kind of silly since guys like Jay Bruce don't need a big PCI or they won't strike out much.
If it doesn't (like most seem to be saying) then it is "lying" and people are going to be confused when they have their PCI on the ball and completely whiff on it.
Vlad isn't really a good example to use either. He pretty much swung at anything and never let the count get deep. I am talking about guys like Adam Dunn, Jose Bautista, Jay Bruce, Chris Davis, Chris Carter, Pedro Alvarez, Mike Napoli, etc. who walked a decent amount, struck out a lot, hit for power, but not quite a high average.
Now if their PCI will be big as someone like Yadier Molina, Matt Carpenter, Pedroia, Cano, Trout, etc. and they won't be striking out 150+ times a season or once every 2-3 AB's.
However, if it is just visual then what is the point? Bautista's PCI might be big as Matt Carpenter's but they are going to work entirely different now and it is just going to confuse casual gamers.
I'd also like to add I am strictly talking about user vs user. The PCI already confused many as it is. I guess I don't understand this implementation, unless it applies to offline only. You don't see your opponent's PCI so I don't see how it affects their strategy. Obviously people know the difference between Juan Pierre and Adam Dunn.
