Re: Toughest Pitchers you've faced.

I play the Yankees franchise, and so far Jered Weaver from the Angels, and Jon Lester from the Red Sox have destroyed me. Jon Lester almost got a no hitter on me, but I got a homer with A-Rod in the 9th.

Final score was 8-1 Red Sox. Ugh. Jered Weaver got a shutout against me.

any particular pitch giving you trouble?? or were they just in a zone against you?

Well I normally take anything that isn't a 4SFB unless I'm behind in the count by atleast 2-2, which normally works. However, Lester seemed to always get me in 0-2 early especially if A-Rod, Damon, and Texeira were up. Talk about frustrating.

He was like a bull ready to strike with the horns against the middle of my lineup. His curveball was unreal, and he knew EXACTLY what A-Rod's weakness was. Slightly down and outside. He literally threw down and outside in the zone 3 straight times on one inning. Pissed me off so bad I almost broke my controller.

In my Yankess franchise, Tim Wakefields knuckler can just freakin kill me. That thing is moving all over the place.

In my mets franchise, just about every Marlin pitcher for some reason.

Joe Blanton....nasty change.

Re: Toughest Pitchers you've faced.

Dice-K and that slow, deliberate delivery kills me. Not to mention he spots his pitches well....

Beckett, I own...

Re: Toughest Pitchers you've faced.

For me in my Phillies Franchise so far Kershaw of the Dodgers killed me. With his delivery and speed the ball is just there before I know it. And I play with Pitch speed at -5 because I can't hit worth crap.

Just noticed I have a Dodgers Series coming up and have to face him again.

Peavy was giving me a hard time too until I got to him in my last game in the 8th inning. But he has shut me down twice as well.

[koebsual]

Opposite for me, I usually chase dice by the 3rd or 4th but Josh is the toughest with the curve! I have started to just take as many pitches that I can resist against him now!
