[TNKNGM]

Use this thread for all edits Red Sox related

Daniel Bard - Generic 42 (Bard pitches exclusively from the stretch)
Manny Delcarmen - Generic 62 (Exclusively from the stretch)
Michael Bowden - Generic 60

That's all I have for right now.....these are preliminary and are open to change if you find something that better suits that player

Do any of these already have hidden deliveries? BTW, thanks man! Any stances?

I played a game using Bard and Bowden and both had the same generic 1 motions.

Bard and Delcarmen both had generic1 windups. They both pitch exclusively form the stretch

Right now - I like the stances. I haven't bothered tinkering with players like Reddick, Bates, etc.....yet

I will do my research over the next couple of weeks and post my finds.

Re: Boston Red Sox Edit - Batting Stances / Pitch Deliviries / Equipment Edits

Anyone decide on an improved Clay Buchholz delivery? It's so difficult, I go back and forth. Most of the things about Arroyo's are correct, the high leg lift and composed form. But the leg lift itself is all wrong, it should not be a straight kick, he bends his leg.

I've gone through every delivery and I can't really find anything better though.

Yah, there isn't really one that's perfect at all. He holds his arms really close to his body, but he also has the high leg kick. It seems like there are so many in the game that have either or, but not both of those features.
The 3 closest I found are: Carpenter, Robertson, and Saunders. I think I'll try Saunders for now.

Here are some of my edits:

Lowell - A. Gordon or Ryne Sandberg. I personally like Sandberg.
Ramon Ramirez - Gen 10 or Corpas. Gen 10 has the right leg kick, but Corpas has better follow through. I like Gen 10 for now.
Cameron - Blanco
Drew - Gen 13
Ortiz - C. Izturiz
Scutaro - Gen 76
Varitek - Gen 24 or Gen 48. I like Gen 48.

Thanks for the ideas. I think, of the ones you listed, I like Saunders best. Only real problem with that one is that he doesn't drive through the delivery with his whole body.

I think I like Rich Harden, he holds his arms close, kicks his knee up pretty high and follows through on the delivery. Also, the leg kick is up there and it's also at the same angle as Clay.

Re: Boston Red Sox Edit - Batting Stances / Pitch Deliviries / Equipment Edits

Some updates:

Ramirez - Cordero
Scutaro - Jack Wilson

Re: Boston Red Sox Edit - Batting Stances / Pitch Deliviries / Equipment Edits

I like Alex Gordon for Mike Lowell (haven't tried Sandberg yet...)

Gen. 86/87 (can't remember which) for Mike Cameron.

What about Mark Derosa for Scutaro? Same bat angle and he has that weird timing kick with his front foot before he swings.

My fault, I copied and pasted my post from the 2010 Batting/Accessory thread. I made the right correction later in that thread about Tek, but I copied the wrong post. Sorry.

But yes, for Varitek, what you said - long pants now, with a shin guard, no elbow guard. I actually want him to start wearing his pants high now, I'm so used to it and he looks weird with them long lol.
