Woohoo we've got an ex-semi pro here! Just give me one second while I wipe the drool off of my face. I'm glad you are having a good time laughing at me, but dude I am not stating that I am the best baseball player of all time, nor am I suggesting that ex-college pitchers 5 years removed from competitive play are anywhere near as difficult to hit as major league, or even professional grade pitching.

I'm simply stating that the VIDEO GAME is more frustrating than the ACTUAL GAME. You're getting hung up on semantics - I'm talking about contact, not winning batting titles. I'm talking about pitch selection. Why can I lay off a slider low and away in real life, but in the game I'm swinging when I know I should take. It's just frustrating.

Anyways, I'm not saying it's hard for everyone. I just don't know why I am having such a hard time with it. Maybe I just don't play enough video games.
