I second that authentic I can't hit with wither of them and is really starting to tick me off........ Especially since they are the only two on the team that are hitting in real life.

This is exactly how I am... I can hit 320+ with a guy with 50 contact as long as his stance fits me.

Heyward + Heyward are both great.

2010 Franchise (approximate): .301 AVG, 43HRs, 108RBI, 92Runs

Entering September, he was like .328, 41HRs, 105RBI, 90Runs. Had like 3 different 0-10's split up by a single here and there. Probably because I told myself the very attainable 50HR mark was a must entering the last month!

I experience this a bit with A-Rod. Can't hit with him at all. The few times I do though, ball goes 450 feet.

It's all in your head. Once you feel you can't hit with him, you're done. I've had the issue with Ryan Ludwick lately after he started heating up in real life. I feel the pressure to hit like he does now, but fail. But by the same token, when he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, I completely raked with him. Just take your time at bat with him, watch a few pitches, and lay off the power swing as much as you can.

Are you kidding? Just don't get all excited and lose your cool... I tear the cover off the ball with him 30 hrs, 72 rbis after 60 games, i have a problem with the crap hitters but never Bautista, Lind, or Snider.
