Disclaimer: I'm playing as the Mariners, who don't have a whole lot of blazing speed.

But I'm knocking some nice balls down the corners, over the bags, into those deep pockets of dirt and foul chalk, and it seems like the outfielders are either somehow always shaded to protect the corners on the times I'm hitting them there, or they've got rocket packs jammed up their asses and manage to grab the balls before I've even touched first.

The lack of triples I can generally accept as a casualty of playing as a slower team, but the number of times I've knocked a ball into the corner but been cut down trying to "stretch" a hit into a double has been hair-pullingly frustrating. That's to say nothing of the perfect lines the outfielders play on nearly every ball, so that I'll smack a ball two feet off from the top of the wall, and the outfielder manages to grab it on the first carom and fire it in to cut me down at second.

I started out with... someone's sliders where they recommended Fielder Run Speed to be set to 2, and Reaction to be bumped to 6. I've tried knocking down Reaction to 5, and am about to push it again to 4, but I'm worried that the infielders will turn into Beer League softball players.
