5 second timer between pitches seems a bit excessive. Also not everyone wants to sit there and take over an hour for a game so try to understand why people try not to take long between pitches? You can't ask people to try and understand your side without extending the same courtesy
Then live with R2 holding. I’m not going to let someone throw 10 pitches in 3 seconds like it’s a machine gun. If you don’t want a timer, R2 is the best way to make both sides happy.
What exactly is wrong with a pitcher working quickly and how is that anything but a good thing? I use R2 a bit because there’s some useful info there, but once you’ve gathered that info, let’s play the [censored] game. It’s not like you’re a real hitter in an actual MLB game. What are you possibly doing with that extra time when you’re holding R2?
Exactly and in a real game the pitcher does not have to wait for a hitter to be ready. They can quick pitch all the want as long as the batter is in the box and ump is ready.
Then allow me to stand outside the batter box like in real life.
press down on the pad it calls timeout like in real life
Give me the ability to do it with every pitch just like you have the ability to quick pitch with every pitch.
You should already be ready to hit. When pitcher is ready to pitch that is the bottom line it is baseball, It is a video game. There is no need to hold R2 to the fullest time every pitch of the game. I am bad a hitting in this game but I am good enough this year to be above 500. You must be really bad at hitting if you have to hold R2 using directional. At least those who use analog explained why they do it. You have no excuse except you are not ready to hit.
No your wrong, it’s when the batter is ready in real life, not the pitcher. You really ended your argument with your ignorance on that one.
when the batter in the box the pitcher controls the game. hence why with the potential pace of play rules the timer is on the pitcher, not the batter. The pitcher controls how fast or slow the game is

Do you watch baseball, The pitcher pitches when ump is ready, The batter has to call time and even if batter calls time the ump does not have to grant. The pitcher controls the tempo of the game.If the batter is in the box and not ready the pitcher can pitch the ball. the batter does not have to be ready for a pitcher to pitch.

So can you step off the rubber an unlimited amount of times now? Im 110% positive there used to be a limit of how many times a pitcher was allowed to step off the rubber. In regard to quick pitching, I have absolutely no problem with that. If I’m in the box and haven’t called time.....then it’s on me! What I don’t appreciate for example, is when my pitcher is up and my opponent knows I’m gonna pinch hit and they smash a button and don’t give me an opportunity to pinch hit. This really happens and it’s not cuz I’m slow. I’m also smashing the pause button to try and get my hitter in the game. In regard to using R2 to “see where I’m being pitched”? I’m a former WS player and consistently over 700. I’m not great but I’m not terrible. I have NEVER ONCE in 5 years of playing this game used R2 to see where I’m being pitched. If you don’t know where you’re being pitched just pack up and quit! Find another game.

It takes less than a second to look at pitch history from the previous at bat. Stepping off the mound with runners on base is only 3 times if they do not take the extra lead. I have not had any issues with stepping off the mound. The problem here is the players who hold R2 for the full amount of time they can on every pitch regardless of QP or not. I do not need to find another game and it is great that you have a mind that can remember exactly every pitch where you been pitched for every batter. Not all of us were blessed with a memory like that. I do not need to remember when it takes less than a second to quickly look buy pressing R2 not holding it down.
FYI I do not look at pitch history for every hitter every inning.

I cant believe we have someone advocating for holding R2, when they are using directional hitting. Seriously? You are pressing a single button. It's not like you have to even move a PCI that may be effected if you arent quite ready. Its literally pressing a button. Get out of here with the "I need 5 seconds between pitches" garbage.

The 12-second timing starts when the pitcher is in possession of the ball and the batter is in the box, alert to the pitcher. The timing stops when the pitcher releases the ball. The intent of this rule is to avoid unnecessary delays. The umpire shall insist that the catcher return the ball promptly to the pitcher, and that the pitcher take his position on the rubber promptly. Obvious delay by the pitcher should instantly be penalized by the umpire."
I don't think anyone is saying pitchers are taking too long... lol
