Irritated is same as salty
So yes, you are a liar when you say you are not salty
Peeved
Irritated
Salty
Pissed
Annoyed
And on and on.I personally like “irked”. Don’t hear it commonly so that’s a fun one.
Feel free to refer to second post on the matter where I end with the following:
Also, entirely plausible I’m just salty.But this has been fun!!

Zone and directional are two different games. I always assume I am playing people who are using zone which hurts me some games. I think if we have to play together, there should be a notification when someone is using or switches to directional hitting bc the strategy for pitching to someone using directional is completely different
-
Are we going to throw analog hitters under the bus too? Or are they an exception to the rule here? Directional requires no skill at all, which is why I use so often or I just switch back to pure analog. If you can pick up that a person is using directional during a match up, just throw up and or anything UP in the strike zone and they will pop out 90% of the time. Once I find someone found out that I am using directional, I'll switch to analog and that UP zone approach will no longer work. But honestly, look at my record - it's a laughing joke and I'm not even mad about it. I just suck at hitting and I'm not going to get any better.

I’m not sure bad hitter = Directional Hitter. I’m sure there are plenty of terrible zone hitters.
I’m not sure what this post has anything to do with what the OP was saying. Seems pretty presumptive of you to assume that the OP was saying what you’re alluding to
Read the 2nd paragraph, if has everything to do with what the OP wrote.
It appears you have it wrong as he has clarified several times that he was not making that point. You assumed or better yet inferred something that was not stated. And we all know what assumptions do.

Does anyone else find it weird that two Mets fans are arguing here?? I guess you guys gotta try and find any avenue for wins. To be clear, this is a joke about how the Mets suck.
Never once said opponent was a bad hitter and commented at least twice that his timing skill was clearly very good.

“Literally swinging at 90% of the pitches”. That doesn’t seem like a positive comment, providing you weren’t throwing 90% strikes. The Mets do suck, we agree!

No, really you’re wrong!!!! It’s an assumption. And if you’d like I can quote you the definition of an assumption. Have a good day

Wrong again Mr. Met!! My projection of his swing percentage is neither positive nor negative, merely reflective of the frequency by which the opponent swung. My acknowledgment of his timing skill still stands.

Directional you can press X every pitch and get extremely lucky with hits , eventually a pitch will hang and it's gone , me and friend tested it out he just hit X every pitch and even with my decent pitching he still scored 7 runs

Yea this is my first year playing DD and I used directional for a bit to see what works best in the game. Directional is not that easy. The pitch has to be pretty much down the middle for the “hold up and to the left” to work. If it’s on the corners or high that strategy won’t work. So yes you can get easy homers but a good pitcher can beat directional most of the time. I switched back to zone and can get hits that I couldn’t using directional. My two cents take it as you will

We are all on same playing level no matter which input we use.
This statement is absolutely false. We are not all on the same playing level. For example, I am routinely a upper division player that has a team batting north of .320 where as you have batting average hovering just over the Mendoza line. And have probably not made it past the 600’s in RS. You are not the same level of player that I am yet you make this remark. It’s amazing the [censored] you read in some of these forums.

@CalisGW said in RS zone v directional matchups:
I love how the OP is saying his opponent didn’t deserve to win because the OP uses the harder input. Lmao the whining and self pity. Let me break it down to you OP
Zone is high ceiling input. Directional is high floor. In other words. On a scale of 1 to 10. Zone input can be anywhere between 1 and 10 depending on your skill level. Where as directional is 4-7. Higher floor but lower ceiling. Yes all he has to do is focus on timing and pitch type , but can be easily exploited. Directional has hard time hitting up and in pitches and pitches up anywhere.
He was most likely a 6 where you are most likely a 4. You both on same scale. He just chose the higher floor and lower ceiling
TLDR : stop being salty because you were outplayed
I understood your logic and I like your analogies to explain it, but why be so rude to the guy?

That dude has no business giving any sort of analysis on anything regarding hitting. A quick look at his profile will show you that he can’t hit regardless of the mode he’s using. Just an observation.

Game matches skill versus skill. I’m a 500 RS player and hover there and match up with likewise players.
Yet you know this and are being disingenuous. Same playing field was obviously pertaining to topic of this thread. Zone versus Directional , we all have the option to use either , thus same level playing field.
Nice try on spin to cover up your obvious uneducated statement and indefensible position. Batting average and ranked record has nothing to do with this thread. Keep grasping, it’s comical and entertaining

The OP was salty and obviously condescending to players who use directional, as if they were inferior ( which they are not ).
Zone or directional does not matter, people use whatever input that is better for them.
-
Unless you’re asking your opponent if they’re using directional you’re guessing. I’d bet that not many directional opponents are very good and it’s not an advantage to use it.

You are not very good and talk about condescending. Everything you post is downright condescending. Hey pot this the kettle. And no I didn’t spin anything. You made the statement dude not me. I’m merely pointing out that you being a barely above .200 average hitter has zero business analyzing anybody’s preferred swing mode. The OP made no statement of superiority although based on my observations and research into you as a player I’m guessing the OP would dispatch of you in a RS game pretty handily. And based on your analysis I would rank you a 1-2 on your scale that you so condescendingly used to rank the OP. But I don’t expect much out of Mets fans. Have a nice day chump, be careful up there on your high horse it’s a long way down. And I hope I see you sorry a s s in RS I’ll be sure to teach you a lesson about about who is actually good and who is a legend in their own mind.
