    Is it true wht they guys said in the article....that someone like David Ortiz is more prone to popups because thats his tendency....so in return for line drive hitters like Abreu will get those hits....and weaker/pesky hitters like Eckstein will get more grounders or slap hits?....and this along with of course location timing and direction which u try to hit the pitch come together to create the appropriate hit?....

    And if it does work that way how percise is this in your opinion? As opposed to last years hitting method?
    Yes, that's accurate.

    I think its works really well, but I had a major role in its design and implementation and was almost solely responsible for tuning it.

      Oh man, A foul ball slider! That's something for me to look forward to. Hopefully the slider guys can get me some 12 pitch at bats.

              Kush has said it'll likely be around a week after the game goes gold. I haven't heard any news of the game going gold yet (doesn't mean it hasn't though) but I wouldn't expect a demo for at least another week or so.

                [SPECULATION]My bet is next tuesday, or next thursday. If not, then it would most likely be released after the actual game is released.[/SPECULATION]

                          Wow, so there is going to be a foul ball slider. Thats cool. I wonder if they put a baseball mit on the fans this year who catch the foul balls now that we will see more foul balls? I know they would catch them sometimes last year, but they always looked like they caught them with their wrist and they stuck there. Lol Anyone hear anything about this?

                            Actually, there's a good (and very hopeful) chance that the no-doubter foul balls don't actually do a camera cut and instead stay on the batter. The only thing they need to do now is eliminate the annoying text that says "FOUL" for the inane.

                                It says "FOUL" for the uninane as well. I know because I saw it.
