    Worst Stances/Windups

    Hi I was just wondering who everyone thinks has the worst stance (for batters) and windups (for pitchers). Just asking because I played against a pitcher, Qualls from L.A. (I think), last night who had probably the most theatrically annoying wind-up I've ever seen. Made me all the more pleased to jack one on him with Jenkins

    most side armers give me a hard time. I also have a hard time laying off guys with sweeping breaks to their pitches.

    As for worst stance, I can't think of any offhand tho I don't think Jose Guillen's is very accurate.

        True, sidearmers give me a hard time too, but I think that has more to do with the motion of the ball than the wind-up itself. I find it harder to tell what kind of motion is on the pitch with it coming in horizontally.

            I'm just kinda dissapointed they haven't put in a custom windup for Bronson Arroyo yet. It looks pretty good in MVP, and that leg kick could prolly cause me some trouble.

            But then again, Arroyo is a 62 and not in the starting rotation in this game so I guess I have nothing to worry about.

                It disgusts me how they made Jim Thome's stance and Manny Ramirez's stance. Manny's is okay, but his hands need to be more behind his head, and he needs more arm movement, rather than just wrist movement.

                    Ortiz stance look very bad..not accurate...best ortiz stance i saw in this years games is in mlb2006..
                    the windup i like is pedros..i think its very accurate the way he lands (with his front turn to the 1'st base..)

                        Are you seroius?

                        David Ortiz's batting stance is perfect.

                            No, it's not. And I'm sorry that I didn't mention it before.

                            Trust me, it may look pretty good and intimidating like his stance from behind him, but I know my stances, and that is not Ortiz.
