I didn’t say anything about the OFs arm. I’m talking about your inability to make a perfect throw. It takes a whoooooooole lot less skill than hitting. I love seeing an opponent make an error. I can beat them almost every time, and I’m terrible.
Did you miss the part where I said I use buttons? It has nothing to do with ability. You press a button and the game does math to decide whether the throw is good or not. Ability does not enter into it.
Also, the thread is about bunting with a power hitter, not how good you are at defense.

I don’t see what the problem with bunting is when there’s a shift that counters it perfectly. Btw most of the people playing in December are the ones who would cheese.

Considering you have over 100 sac bunts this year, I’m not surprised to hear you say this.

Auto shift is worse than bunting for me and the only thing worse than that is the constant pausing. In fact in the past 2 days I have experienced all the above mentioned by everyone here when normally it's rare.

Ive seen a few people in this thread say bunting is cheesing and takes no skill, yet play their home games at Shippett. Some think that playing in that park also requires little to no skill.

Perfect post , I would say it is a drop the mic type post. Well done sir.

It’s weird that the the majority of guys who have more skill than anybody at this game (Top 50 players) almost exclusively play at Shippet tho.

All minor leagues have a better refresh rate. So they can’t use that excuse. Why they do it, it’s because they don’t have to hit the ball well to hit it out. They can get away with a lot less accuracy than say a minor league park with less altitude.
That being said, I suck and lose anywhere. Although I do notice I score few more runs ( Home Runs tbh) when I end up at shippet than when I am home team at Citibank. Although I give up more runs too in shippet . Lol.

Says the troll who Complains about bunting and cheesing just as much as I complain about Shippett. Look in a mirror guy.

Most minor league parks are actually decent to play at and provide fairly realistic gameplay. The only problem I have is Shippett. High elevation, short fences and warm climate provide an environment form slow pitch softball. I enjoy all aspects of the game, that includes pitching and the occasional bunt or steal. Just bashing the ball all the time isn’t fun.

Bunting is for guys that can’t hit, not a complaint just a factual statement

And Shippett is a bad stadium that throws of the balance of the game. Not a complaint , just a factual statement. If you’re allowed your opinion on bunting (and the knuckleball) then I’m allowed my opinion on Shippett. Don’t go saying “i suck” or “I’m a cryer” when I just looked through your post history and saw you complain about things in the game you think are imbalanced or are for people who “aren’t good”

You do suck though, Shippett isn’t the reason you suck though no matter how much you want that to be true
️Nice retort, “well you may be right, but you still suck.” If you can’t win an argument, resort to baseless personal attacks, huh? Lol
There’s no argument, you post non stop about Shippett like that’s the reason you’re not good, if you play so many games at Shippett and it’s so garbage and allows everyone to hit why are you hitting .241?
Because I played on a monitor up until about a month ago.
Because I’m older, and don’t have the twitch reflexes that hitting requires.
You say “I suck” and then just point to my average. Ignoring my record, RS history, ERA, etc. there is more to the game than just hitting the [censored] out of the baseball, but as someone who likes Shippett so much, I wouldn’t expect you to understand this. Also keep in mind that you are among the top 200 players in this game. I am genuinely impressed (really, not sarcasm) but the vast vast majority of the players in this game aren’t as good as you, haven’t figured out the quirks of it, and have issues with certain aspects of it. Just like you have issues with people bunting. Show some humility.
I complain about Shippett just as much as you complain about the knuckleball and people bunting, in fact this is on a thread where you were saying people who bunt aren’t good. So once again, look In a mirror. We all have our blind spots, you complain just as much as I do about the things you care about. Learn how to formulate an argument, don’t cherry pick stats, and stay away from the ad hominem attacks.
I hate Shippett and rarely play there.. I just don’t think it’s the reason for my short comings, I’m not cherry picking stats.. you’re a .500 player at best, in 17 you were 143-190 hitting .201 guess what, Shippett existed then too... also show me a top player that bunts? It’s for guys that can’t hit, they don’t trust themselves to hit so they bunt
