Re: Highly rated pitchers that you just can't pitch with

Everytime i pitch with Matsuzaka i get bombed. And about every other time i bring papelbon in to close he blows the save.

Yeah when I was Boston in my franchise Pap's era was around 6 and blew saves constantly.

I have Dan Haren and he only throws 90....occassionally he'll get up to 92. Also, his splitfinger gets hammered which makes no sense. However, Jeremy Bonderman is basically unhittable. Im 9-1 with an era under 2 with him.

I'll add my woes with Derek Lowe as well. I can throw that sinker in the dirt and still watch it fly off the bats of hitters like Ryan Howard/Chase Utley.

and that cutter breaks so much it makes it so annoying to use as a strikeout pitch (starting it on the outside corner and letting it go out of the k zone) since I have to start it over the outside half of the plate just to get them to swing at it (and usually ends up getting slapped into the corner).

Derek Lowe.

It might be his selection of pitches, but I always give up a lot of runs with him. Lowe's sinker is his best pitch, yet it's always either a ball or hit for a base. I think I might have to trade him for perhaps a prospect.

derek lowe gave up 18 hits to the yankees in a 9-1 loss in my franchise recently
but since i bought inside edge i been hittin these pitchers wealzones hes playin a lil bit better
