Time to waive the white flag?

That's so strange.

I feel like it's easier than ever to get out ahead of the ball-- in a good way.

I can rip balls foul more than ever before. However, it's hard to keep the ball fair. My

When batting, I feel more like a Major League hitter, which is great.

Yep, same here. I plan to stay a kid forever! I'll be playing sports video games in the old folks home.

My RTTS player is my grandson.

That's part of my problem. Last year I was late most of the time. This year I am able to pull the ball more and my timing is better. But I'm not making solid contact. Very weak groundball singles. Hardly ever a hard hit flyball. 1 double off the wall and 2 homers in 10 games

So increase the solid hits sliders

Yes, that's an option. I guess I'm reluctant to do that as I've followed Armours sliders religiously for the past several years and have always had fantastic results. Increasing a slider to my advantage will make me feel like I'm cheating. But it may come to that.

Let me ask this, what is your team's BABIP? It should be around .300...if it is super low, then solid hits might very well be the culprit.

Bro I had exact trouble. Go to analog and stride, youll start killing the ball. For some reason hitting button this year was dead for me as well. Especially on HOF, laughable how bad that was. Thats usually what I play on.

Your not kidding!! It's awful this year when using buttons.
