Guys You Have NO Luck With?

[Gosens6]

Hey guys, thought this would be a fun little topic. Who are some of the elite players, or "stars" that you have trouble playing good with?

For me, it's no doubt C.C. Sabathia. For the life of me, I always get rocked all over the ball park with this guy. I feel like i'm pitching with a number 5 AA guy whenever I have him on the mound.

Who're some of the higher rated players that just don't perform for you?

My pitcher is Max Sherzer . It's completely my fault and I am hoping this is something really added to the game. Max's pitching style is to go right at batters and when he doesn't he is not as effective. He adopted the style at MIZZOU that out of the first 3 pitches he wanted 2 strikes . I like to pitch on the edges and don't fret over walks unless it's a leadoff walk lol. I hope The Show is representing this because i find it very unique and awesome

Prince Fielder against lefties, any other lefty on the tigers I can hit agaisnt left handed pitches but for some reason i think i'm like 0-30 with Prince, terrible!

Ryan Braun sticks out to me, just because I tend to use the Brewers - the reality of it for me is that I suck with right handed hitters in general and it's been like that for as long as I can remember.

The 2 guys I SHOULDN'T be having any problems with:
R.A Dickey and Jose Bautista!

I just can't seem to get the hang of using the knuckleball. And I can't hit that great with Bautista for some reason.

Lol i have the same problem with Bautista. I think it's cause i know he's the Jays best hitter and i don't just wait around with him. First pitch i see in the zone, whack.. A cheap grounder, heck i strike out a lot with him as well.

Re: Guys You Have NO Luck With?

This isn't for this year specifically since I don't have the game yet, but for the past couple years, it's Roy Halladay. I get absolutely bombed when I pitch with him. And I feel like I have zero control of his stuff. I just can't figure it out. I really concentrate on setting hitters up too, always. Sometimes I can go an inning or two and it feels like you would expect, pitching with Doc, but most of the time it's a crazy adventure. Weird.

Mike Trout, and Jacoby Ellsbury. Probably cause I'm just trying to hard.

Oh, and Chase Utley too. When he steps up, no matter who's pitching, he might as well have MY name on the back of his jersey.

It's not even that, I think it might be the leg kick, cause I use analog(though stride timing shouldn't make a diff since it's in the middle) so many hits wit him are those cheap pop ups to the catcher or 1B(and it especially happens with runners on base)

Re: Guys You Have NO Luck With?

For me it's Tim Hudson. I've just never been able to pitch well with him. I think it's because I throw too many sinkers, but I just can't put together a quality outing with him

I just had a 3 hit shutout with Hudson. My biggest problem in the game is hitting any side arm pitcher. I can't stand seeing them come in the game!

Re: Guys You Have NO Luck With?

I feel both of you guys pain. Can't pitch with Tim Hudson and can't hit consistently with the braves lineup. It's really hard to pick up low ball pitchers and side arm guys are horrible to hit against.

Re: Guys You Have NO Luck With?

Pitching = Justin Masterson - It is like he has NOTHING on any of his pitches.

Hitting = Michael Bourn - For being a lead-off batter I can't hit ANYTHING with this guy.

Re: Guys You Have NO Luck With?

I've been playing postseason mode with the Yankees and I've never gotten a hit with Alex Rodriguez. Can't figure out why. Then he randomly went down with an injury from "broken PED injection needle". This was after he was flirting with polygonal women in the stands, which the game cut to for a 30 second cutscene.
