Game 2 (I was Baltimore)

Game played very well, Tillman threw a gem only giving up one run and shutting down Boston's offense without really getting into too many jams. Im starting to notice that the outfielders do seem to be getting to everything with the quickness so I may drop Fielder Reaction to a 5 for a few games but I am undecided on that at this moment, I think a few more games with the stats listed on page 1 of this thread are required before I start making any more adjustments than pitch speed which is preference anyway.

BOS: 1 8 0
BAL: 4 10 2

Win: C. Tillman - 7 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K, 90 Pitches, 61 Strikes, 29 Balls, 68% Overall Strikes, 57% First Pitch Strikes

Save: Z. Britton - 1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 10 Pitches, 4 Strikes, 6 Balls, 40% Overall Strikes, 25% First Strikes

Spring Training game 1

Cubs"me", 3 runs, 9 hits, 1 error
Rockies, 7 runs, 8 hits, 0 errors

I had a error in LF in the first inning which led to 2 unearned runs. My LF just totally whiffed a routine fly ball.

Pitching totals

Cubs, 128 pitches, 90 strikes, 38 balls, 70% strikes, 65% First strike
Rockies, 108 pitches, 82 strikes, 26 balls, 76% strikes, 67% First Strike

Cubs, Hendricks, 4 IP, 48 pitches,0 bb, 3 k, 73% strikes, 69% First Strike
Rockies, Kendrick, 3IP, 25 pitches,0 bb, 2 k, 72% strikes, 56% First Strike

Hitting

Cubs
2B:Montero(1)
Hr: PH K.Schwarber(1), K.Braynt(1)

Rockies
2B: Morneau(1), Arenado(1), Rosario(1)
HR: Tulo(1), Hundley(1) Arenado(1)

Extra Notes: The game played really well and was close until I brought Edwin Jackson in . I am seeing if I may carry him in my bullpen as a long reliever and emergency starter but he got rocked for 2 doubles and 2 home runs.
The error in the first inning still bothers me a little but it happens.Both teams were hitting the ball well and both teams ended up with 7k's each.
Well I will play another game later and report back.

Also being someone who always used pulse pitching switching to classic and relying on the player stats was a very welcome change. Win: S.

Most of your stats look good, dude. Especially offensively. However, pitching stats aren't as good as they could be, because as you said, you were pretty aggressive at the plate. That always leads to high strike percentages for the CPU. These sliders require that you be patient at the plate, get deep into counts, and swing at good pitches. There's a domino effect that will occur,which will lead to better hitting, more walks, and driving the CPU pitch count up. But honestly, everything looks pretty good, otherwise. The only thing that I can see that would need improvement are the CPU strike percentages.

Looking forward to seeing more games from you!

Dude, the stats look SO good!!! But those strike percentages are KILLING me....LOL. But I'm OCD about that. If you like them the way they are, then that's all that matters.

As far as Outfielder Reaction goes, personally, I haven't seen plays where I feel like I'm getting robbed of a deserved hit/XBH, nor have I seen the CPU making crazy superman-like plays either. Extra base hit totals seem to be right where they should be, but as you said, we're still in the testing phase. It's possible that there may be a change yet to come. The main reason why I moved the Outfielder Reaction slider up was because of the "stuck in the mud" animations that were occurring on fly balls. If you haven't seen them yet, trust me, they look pretty bad.

This looks like a really balanced game, stats wise, which is always good to see. Strike percentages are good. Maybe a little on the high side, but still pretty good. Looks like the Rockies pounded your pitching staff a little bit, huh? Six of their 8 hits were for extra bases. But of course, Kris Bryant showed up with a homer. Can't BELIEVE the Cubs sent that guy down.

On the other hand, I'm seriously tripping out on how you guys are experienced these dropped fly ball errors. I haven't seen one once. I strictly play as the Dodgers, and we have pretty solid outfielders, but I still haven't seen the CPU outfielders drop any fly balls either. Just weird to me...

Welcome back bitches....lol. glad to see you back itbeme. I'm ready for another year Of baseball. This time hoping to bring the Braves and mariners to the WS. But IMr looking forward on helping you out again itbeme. I will be around for the next two weeks to help out and post stats, then I won't be back until june, performing our countries duties, let me know if you need anything and I'll do it. One question though is the current slider set you testing on first page? If so I'll start testing once the game is loaded up. Man its good to be back.

Game 3 NYY @ NYM (I was the Mets)

I hang my head in shame at this one and I stress just how badly the pitch speed discrepancy is. ITS AWFUL, Tanaka was unhitable for me in this one. The difference in his FB to his Slider is foolish, you have almost an extra second to wait on his Slider and when he does wind up for the FB despite it coming in at 94-96 it is past you before you blink. I dont want to but Im posting my stats below, please dont judge me too harshly as im still adjusting to wanting to strangle Tanaka in his sleep.

NYY: 4 6 2
NYM: 0 3 0 (Yes 3)

Win: M. Tanaka - 9 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 17 K, 99 Pitches, 80 Strikes, 19 Balls, 81% Overall Strikes, 94% First Pitch Strikes
Loss: M. Harvey - 6.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, 108 Pitches, 66 Strikes, 42 Balls, 61% Overall Strikes, 48% First Pitch Strikes

Team Pitching:

NYY: 99 Pitches, 80 Strikes, 19 Balls, 81% Overall Strikes, 94% First Pitch Strikes
NYM: 142 Pitches, 91 Strikes, 51 Balls, 64% Overall Strikes, 56% First Pitch Strikes

Team Strikeouts:

NYY: 9
NYM: 17

Team Walks:

NYY: 3
NYM: 0

Extra Base Hits:

NYY: 3
2B: M. Tanaka , C. Headly, Didi Gregorius

NYM: 0

Now yes I am mad at Tanaka and yes if he were to slip and fall while going to the bathroom I would not be mad but that being said after 4 innnings of not even being able to come close to hitting anything this guy threw I just started to swing at anything that came close to the zone and the timing is just piss poor. Piss Piss Piss Poor. I digress, Ill be fine for game 4
