Don't know if anyone noticed that earlier
Just got done playing my first game with the sliders and am in the middle of my 2nd. I really like the pitch counts but I'm struggling so far. I had been playing on pro to get used to everything and the cpu is crushing me. The Twins hit 5 HRs off of me and beat me 13-1 with 17 hits. The good news is Silva threw106 pitches in 7.1 so that was very realistic and walked me 3 times.
So far, Contreras is throwing a lot of pitches and is very wild so not only am I getting walks, I'm swinging at bad pitches. I've noticed that it seems the cpu outfielders are faster than me so I might try slowing them down a little or speeding mine up. I don't get nearly as many doubles as last year.
Has anyone else had trouble giving up homeruns? Maybe it is just adjusting to All Star. One thing I know, right now Westbrook's stamina is 53% and there is basically no green at all. It doesn't help that he doesn't have his stuff today as did Sabathia in the other game.
