If you’re having trouble locating

If you’re struggling to locate your pitches, I suggest just throwing it down the middle on purpose. Try it sometime when you are down early and need to mop up.
I’m not kidding. After Freddie Freeman botches a bloop right at him, and your pitcher then hangs a slider which gets clobbered, you can probably get out of the inning by throwing down the middle.
You’re likely to miss your spots in an effective way. Just change pitches like you normally would but throw right down the middle and see where your pitch actually goes. It’s an interesting experiment.

Lol its so sad that this is the state of pitching in a baseball game, I’ll be passing on ‘21. To all the vets of the series, good luck and hopefully they listen to your feedback and make the game great again.

Just played an event game with maddux on the bump and used the sinker up and in just kept going down the middle. 5 times in a row and my opponent was still late on the gravity ball

Same. I was hitting my cutter inside on thw black on rightys all game. Then 2 in a row right down the main street

I assumed the gravity balls were my fault - that I was missing in some way- but I've started looking at the feedback and it's always good or perfect when it happens.

Another example: I just gave up 5 runs in the first inning of an event game. I was actually trying to pitch, but hung one and gave up a three run homer to Gehrig.
I started pitching down the middle and got out of the inning with a sac fly.
Next two innings I just threw down the middle mixing pitches up. Bieber finished the game without giving up any more runs despite energy being in the red.
Another point I want to make is that some of you guys are way too competitive. My opponent, despite having a 5 run lead, was spamming changeups and curveballs as if it was his WS play in game.
Way to go dude, you no hit a guy who was throwing down the middle to you for 2.1 innings.
