Record is 174 in 1990 by Boston.

Well that record was broken by my 2015 Yanks. During the reg season, hit into 190. Played every game btw. So far this season I've hit into 11 in 10 games. This is where I think using button/directional hinders the user. Didn't matter up in the zone, down in the zone, good timing, bad timing, I could count on at least 1DP a game minimum. Using zone and being able to place the PCI probably helps that issue to some degree.

I'm only 29th out of 30 finally - 72 GIDP in 86 games - but it's taken some effort. Probably has something to do with being 100 stolen bases in front of the second-place team since most of the time I get a guy on first with one or no outs I run.

Zone batting helps maybe but it's still difficult to avoid since they seem to groove strikes low in the zone and I either strike out looking or hit a hard grounder - I can never seem to foul off pitches down in the zone.

This has always been a huge issue in The Show series to me. I play the first and last game of the series. So far I've played 33 games and simmed 20. I'm not last but I'm 29th with 39gidp. If I played every game I'd be last by a lot!

I looked and counted only 10gidp in those 20 simmed games. So in 33 games played I've hit into 29 double plays. This has always bothered me about this game.

I'm leading the league in grounding into double plays. 5 ahead of the next closest team about half way through the season. Like this every year for me. It's gotten to the point that when I get a man on first and less than two out I'm looking to steal if I have a fast player on first or to bunt the player over.

Been a problem for years.

I am in 3rd technically due to ties in 1st and 2nd in my MLB 14 franchise. I have into 3. Ironically the Tigers are in dead last with 11.

I'm using the Yankees. Its still April, but I'm not leading the league.
