I really enjoyed that stream. Ryan pushed for some info about future games that we hadn't really heard before.

Ramone, I hope you grabbed some lobster bisque after you visited IGN in SF haha.

Good watch and insight. Didn't like hearing that they were trying to influence a home run holding up and pulling, though. I'll stick with zone hitting after hearing that.

don't see the issue, a power lefty, shortest part of the field in right, if he gets a fastball and is trying to pull it, that's what happens. in the end he didn't get one anyways

But he struck out on change ups away. That is a good thing.

Gameplay looked amazing as always in this stream. But there was one thing that scared me. If you go to 40:11 of the video, when they're scrolling through each teams updates, there were a lot of good players on waivers. Between the mariners and royals alone I saw Austin Jackson, Fernando Rodney, wade Davis and Alex gordon. Another that comes to mind is yovanni gallardo of the brewers. I would never expect all those guys to hit waivers. Maybe one of them but not all of those really good players. Not to mention those were the only few teams updates who were shown. For all we know every single team could be waiving key players on the trade deadline (Franchise said it 7/31/15).

I've always been a timing hitter. I'm not interested in the directional hitting in the least. I'm going to just stick with that since you can use directional hitting just like timing as long as you don't pick a direction on the analog stick.

They were at August 5th in the franchise. That is normal for big names to go on waivers. After July 31st it is the revocable waiver period.

EXAMPLE just this past season both Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg were put on waivers in August in real life. Both were pulled back when they got claimed.

Although how much influence is really too big can be debatable and in the end is perhaps a matter of preference, I felt that Directional hitting works more like helping you place PCI in such a way that the desired type of hit is "more likely" to be generated... but it really doesn't force any outcome to be generated.

Effectively, it probably won't feel too different from using Zone to do something similar, except with Zone you really have to be good to make slight adjustments to consistently execute the locating of PCI to produce a desired type of hit.

So in terms of Zone lingo, by influencing pull and fly ball, Ramone was trying to place PCI slightly below the pitch (to be under), and maximize the quality of contact when your swing is a bit early (to pull).

With Zone you have to do that yourself, but with Directional, PCI *tries* to do that for you. But it is of course not always successful.

Is that realistic? I think depends on who you talk to, but that was what I felt how it worked trying Directional myself.

So you're saying most guys will get pulled back when they're claimed? I was just worried that all those guys would be claim without any fight from their respective clubs.

For those of you that missed the MLB 15 The Show livestream on IGN earlier this afternoon, they have uploaded it to their YouTube channel. It features the Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres and some Road to The Show.

FYI, this is also available on the PS4 IGN app.

Yes they will get pulled back even in the show. This is common for big names or high priced players to be put on revocable waivers. Almost all of them get pulled back by their teams.
