Any way to stop late game comebacks?
-
I legitimately can't win games where I have the lead in the last inning. Speedy player always beats the shift with a late/weak hit for a double. Then the next batter regardless of power stats hits a bomb. Happens to me just about every time I take a lead into the final inning.
-
Stop playing the game lol that’s what I’m doing nothing matters good input equals you’re losing no matter what
-
Terrible gamee, so predictable,

Just quit before the last inning.
Problem solved
Sorry, been watching a lot of Parks and Rec lately and I visualised Andy/Chris Pratt when this response came to mind.
Come to think of it, Ron would reply the same way but it would be coming from a completely different place.

It sounds like you should turn the shift off for starters
-
This is so common for me I “price in” a 2 run homer in the 8th when evaluating any lead. If I’m not up by 4, it’s going to be tied at some point. It’s always a crappy hit, followed by a massive homer that feels very fake. This happens especially when you’ve dominated all game, like giving up 2 singles in 7 innings. I don’t get mad about the rubber banding, but I’d really like more game tempo/result variability.
-
Change relievers often. I don't know if the game has comeback logic or not. But if I put in my closer and he gives up a weak hit to the first batter, I'll consider pulling him LOL.
-
If my opponent has spies guys I automatically put on my bunt defense. It’s the only way to stop it
-
Yes, it’s called making sure you don’t follow the same pitching patterns, or don’t get the tight [censored] and throw offspeed pitches way off the plate. Usually those 2 things cause players to lose late since players focus on tendencies more late.
-
Biggest thing I have noticed is that relievers have fragile minds. Their confidence disappears at the slightest bit of adversity. I've had guys come in give up a HR and the analog bar disappear in the first batter and a mound visit doesn't even bring it back so I got to pitch to the next two guys blind. Confidence is massive this year and you almost have to switch pitchers when a rally starts.
-
I slow the game down. Literally. Take your time pitching, feel like that alone disrupts the hitters. They're usually in a flow with when you pitch, slowing it down throws them off too
-
If I find the hitter is fouling alot of late and the count goes 2-2 or 3-2 I walk him because he is more focused walking him will break his rhythm and save the pitches confidence opposed to a straight up walk. Mound visit are a big help as well. You have to break you opponents rhythm and timing as he will likebe more zones in. Also avoid bring in a like mind pitcher what I mean buy that is if you used Kluber all game dont bring in another sinker/fastball guy in move to a curve/change up pitcher as the pitches have been used so the movement and timing will need to be adjusted to
-
Play better and don't choke. Personally I haven't gave up a late comeback all year

Wow. Yeah. That would be the answer wouldn't it? This is the "aha" moment I needed.
-
Solid advice guys. Thank you! I'd venture to say in most of my losses in RS and the event this exact sequence has happened in 50% of them.

Not helpful. You could have just walked past this post.

Yes, Kluber.
I just can't bring myself to use Kluber. Nothing against him but I feel like he's so overused just like Kershaw last year.
