I let my catcher call the game 90% of the time, sometimes Martin in LA will get fastball happy with guys like Schmidt, but Ive noticed that he tends to get happy with whatever is that pitchers best pitch, for instance he wants Lowe to throw a ton of sinkers. On a side note, I will follow whatever he says almost all the time, once I actually struke the CPU out with a sinker at the letters, not realistic but it did work. The beauty of doing what he says is it can sometimes simulate your pitcher having a bad day, last game with Wolf, I walked 2 through 3 innings and gave up 5 runs while maxing out every pitch, needless to say he didnt last into the 4th.

Re: Calling your own game
I am turning catcher calling off. I lost 2-0 to the Cardinals last night on two solo homers from Edmonds and Pujols. I put the ball right where the pitcher called for it and threw the pitch the catcher called and both ended up in the seats.Comment

Re: Calling your own game
Next time you give up a home run when you're calling your own pitches, are you going to consider allowing the catcher to call the game again?Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Calling your own game
2 reasons I call my own game.
1. After many years of calling my own pitches,I find this feature distracting.
2. I like being the boss and calling my own shots. I'll live with my screw-up's and bask in my triumphs.ByurrulzIdon'tfollowComment

Re: Calling your own game
I was wondering has anybody else gone away from having the cather call the game and pick their own pitches and locations. I started doing this and eventually turned off catcher calls all together. I seem to have better success calling my own game then letting the catcher do it.Comment
