Re: The Dynamic Difficulty Discussion Thread
Alright, fellas, big stats update. I'm 25 games in, in the final week of Spring Training. You know the settings: DD, QC, Classic Pitching, Timing Hitting, Default Sliders, except Pitch Speed 0 and Starter Stamina 6. I played all games in full.
I'm OAK, so I play for OBP and emphasize quality pitching, as best I can.

I feel like we pitched well, and some of the larger ERAs came from keeping guys in too long before I made a stamina slider adjustment. Still, I'm solid in the rotation and pen; I have some really tough decisions to make in the pen at a couple of spots.
Lineup:
Crisp: 20 G, 61 AB, .230 AVG, 1 HR, 6 RBI, .277 OBP, .344 SLG, 4 BB, 12 K
Donaldson: 20 G, 53 AB, .170 AVG, 5 HR, 7 RBI, .313 OBP, .491 SLG, 11 BB, 11K
Lowrie: 20 G, 50 AB, .288 AVG, 4 HR, 10 RBI, .362 OBP, .542 SLG, 8 BB, 9 K
Cespedes: 22 G, 59 AB, .237 AVG, 3 HR, 9 RBI, .328 OBP, .441 SLG, 8 BB, 19K
Moss: 21 G, 51 AB, .196 AVG, 4 HR, 8 RBI, .293 OBP, .471 SLG, 7 BB, 17 K
Reddick: 20 G, 52 AB, .346 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .519 SLG, 7 BB, 13 K
Frieman: 18 G, 54 AB, .296 AVG, 3 HR, 6 RBI, .424 OBP, .481 SLG, 11 BB, 21K
Jaso: 16 G, 38 AB, .308 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .325 OBP, .462 SLG, 1 BB, 9 K
Sogard: 20 G, 48 AB, .229 AVG, 0 HR, 3 RBI, .302 OBP, .271 SLG, 5 BB, 9 K
Bench:
Norris: 18 G, 41 AB, .268 AVG, 3 HR, 10 RBI, .302 OBP, .537 SLG, 2 BB, 12 K
Callaspo: 18 G, 49 AB, .245 AVG, 2 HR, 6 RBI, .296 OBP, .388 SLG, 4 BB, 10 K
Punto: 23 G, 36 AB, .222 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .282 OBP, .222 SLG, 3 BB, 6 K
Gentry: 21 G, 52 AB, .250 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .344 OBP, .250 SLG, 8 BB, 6 K
Vogt: 8 G, 14 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .267 OBP, .214 SLG, 1 BB, 5 K
Barton: 22 G, 46 AB, .174 AVG, 2 HR, 5 RBI, .240 OBP, 326 SLG, 3 BB, 10 K
Fuld: 23 G, 42 AB, .214 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .313 OBP, .262 SLG, 6 BB, 8 K
Gimenez: 9 G, 12 AB, .167 AVG, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .231 OBP, .417 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K
Peterson: 15 G, 27 AB, .148 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .179 OBP, .296 SLG, 1 BB, 10 K
Haas: 7 G, 14 AB, .357 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI, .400 OBP, .643 SLG, 1 BB, 2 K
Parrino: 14 G, 26 AB, .077 AVG, 0 HR, 1 RBI, .111 OBP, .192 SLG, 1 BB, 6 K
As you can see, I K a lot, mostly because I go down looking on borderline pitches with 2 strikes in search of walks. I'm going to have to adjust. I also just have lots of borderline starters in the lineup, and I'm a bit worried. If Crisp, Donaldson and Moss don't pick it up, I'm toast. Gentry played his role well, as did Callaspo and Norris, but the other two spots, which look like they may go to Barton and Fuld, aren't inspiring confidence.
The takeaway:
Please feel free to weigh in/critique the results. I'm an average player at best and am learning as a baseball fan, so I don't know as well as many of you which stats are good and which are off. I included as many relevant stats as I could imagine would be useful, but I can add a few more if there are critical ones that are in question.
I hope this offers a useful picture of how the mode can work, given how I play, my team, etc. I feel like every game is unique, and clearly I'm getting competitive play. I just need more consistency at the plate.
Fire away!
