Can't get out of All-Star. Every pitcher is horseshit. Maybe some success with Kluber and Kyle Wright. Who else plays decent on All-Star? Hamels and Grenkie sure as hell don't

@GiantsXLII lodolo is good on every level. Most pitchers are gonna suck on all star. I also feel like you have to pitch A lot differently on all star Compared to hof and legend

Pitch differently, how?
-
Greinke shouldn’t be as bad as some other pitchers on allstar. He has good speed differentials if you use him well.
-
Dustin May, Kluber, Orel, Hal and 95 Snell
I kinda found a way to pitch with these guys even though it’s pretty much always a grind. Pitching is just a hassle this year, but it is what it is.

For me fastball/sinker is used only about a quarter of the time, unless the guy can’t catch up which is rare on all star. And when I do throw them it’s to lock up a guy to get him to chase or Just as a show pitch. The best combo is a cutter/slider mix, especially back foot ones. Down and in they look very similar and get a lot of Swings and misses on sliders and take strike 3s on cutters, and if they do hit them it’s usually for weak contact because it’s tough for guys on all start to get the pci there to square up. Then drop a sinker in the same spot and they think it will be inside then it comes back over the plate. Same concept goes for same handed side hitters. Cutter slider on the outside can look the same as well. Cutter up and away is also a great pitch to get weak contact, guys will get jumpy thinking it’s a fastball to crush and then it just runs off the plate.

I made a dude look foolish with Kerry Wood on AS. He's a risky guy to use for sure but no one else has gone 8 scoreless with 15 Ks for me this year.
