Pausing mid-AB
-
Last night I had a guy pause in between nearly every pitch. Held every set to the end and bunted with every player that was 95 speed or better. He actually scored like this too.
He also had a lefty pitcher and intentionally walked all my big righty bats no matter what. No outs one out two outs:
Needless to say he was winning 2-0 and in the 6th I believe he intentionally walked dARnuad to get to lefty he who walked unintentionally...still no outs pitcher up I brought in 98 Justin Turner I hit a no doubter to his high cheese he was spamming all game...and he instantly quit
Point of the story is...these players that do whatever it takes to get the easiest win possible are the same players that instantly quit if they are losing.
And some of them are on this forum.

Well said.

You just did it to me quite a bit.

Oh yeah? Well that’s interesting. Apologies. I could not throw strikes for the life of me and was getting extremely tilted.

Sounds like you knocked it, then you tried it

Totally unintentional. Why ruin a GG by taking a shot at me?
-
Sorry you feel that way

Like I was taking a shot at you. I was simply saying you paused at every critical moment. International or not.

Well, that is your perception. Did you look at the hitter analysis post-game? Did you notice how all my pitches were clumped around the Center of the zone?
I already apologized for anything I did unintentionally. As I remember, I paused to warm up pitchers at the beginning of innings. Once or twice I paused behind 3-0 (which is hardly pivotal) because I was having trouble throwing strikes.
How was the connection for you?

Just fine

I’ve paused mid at bat during long at bats late in a game to warm up a pitcher, didn’t realize this was a no no

Well, as this thread has demonstrated, you can’t really ever know why your opponent is pausing, so maybe it’s not such a big deal after all.

Didn't you just post another thread about having a "step out" option? Are you arguing with yourself?
Yep. I guess there are just a lot of ways players abuse the game to try and get an advantage. This will probably always be the case.
There is a step out out option, it’s called down on the d pad. Batter calls time and steps out!!! Lol

No need to argue that pitching is screwed this year! It's unfair to a certain degree. How the heck do some guys crush everything you throw both out and inside the strike zone??? It makes no sense!

Because they’ve practiced and the game just isn’t that hard

Okay buddy! Keep telling yourself that.

Yeah there are some players that just have really good pci placement. If you are pitching in ways they can get to by slamming the analog all the way down or all the way up, you’re in for a world of hurt.

Ok so I was just in an event game facing Tom Seaver. By the second inning, his energy was in the red. My opponent paused and when he came back, Seaver’s energy was a couple bars of yellow again.
Anyone have an explanation for this? No mound visit was involved, and as I said his energy increased, not confidence...
