Re: OK...I Can't Hit These Daggum Changeups

For the most part, I'm fairly decent at hitting as in 15 games of my franchise I'm 3rd in OBP, 4th in AVG and 2nd in runs. Even so, these bugs bunny changes keep getting me and like Elmer Fudd, I want to kill that rabbit!

This happens quite frequently as I just cannot discern a change is coming. Personally, I think the spin of the ball and how it comes out of the pitcher's hand needs work...but is that just me? Do I have shotty pitch recognition or should all of these pitcher's repoitoire be adjusted?

I'm sorry...I need help.
I feel your pain man. If I'm facing a pitcher with a decent changeup, pencil me in for at least 10-12 K's that game. It is frustrating.
