Just tried another game. All-star, Default but I tried CPU Strike Freq to 0%.

I was Pitt hosting the Reds and J. Cueto.

I continued with the "take time after they select their pitch" strategy. Seemed to continue working for me with a more varied result. I didn't do it for one inning just to check it out, and sure enough I blasted a solo shot to center field with Pedro Alvarez. After that, I went back to taking time.

The end result was very similar to to my last game with LAA@Tex. Overall strike% was 60%, with first pitch strikes at 57% and early count strikes at 61%.

I drew 2 walks off Cueto (4 overall for the game). Total pitches over the 8 innings (I was home team and I won) was 124 with 20 fouls for me.

I'll continue going this route. I will keep the CPU Strike Freq to 0. It felt like it brings the relievers down to earth a little more, while not affecting the studs so much. My last 10 games or so I felt that the relievers throw too many strikes early and often.
