2nd Inning Showdown
-
Did it second try today needing 3 runs with 1 out remaining. Hit back to back HRs to win it.

Had a Harder time with the Kopech Boss Battle. I'd be expecting that 102 FB and he'd hang a 84 curve and I'd whiff badly. LOL Failed it my first attempt. Destroyed him my second and went into Lee Smith down 3. Beat him with a Grand Slam with Matt Adams. Didn't even make it through my lineup once. He's Pretty easy. He didn't throw his Fork much which was good. It's pretty Dirty.
Pretty sure all moments even are against righties like someone said so go Lefty Heavy. That Ryan Klesko card let off and finished many moments by himself. I hit pretty well with Jason Bay as well which I heard was tough to do cause of his no stride, but with Strikezone 2, I barely noticed. Take the Diamond Brad Miller too. He Crushes all Righties. Got Stuck with the Silver Chirinos cause he was my best option at catcher till I got Sanchez as a backup. He's better against Lefties so not much help, but he held his own when I actually got down to the 8 spot. Yoan Moncada and the Silver Chipper are also good drafts. Switch hitters that hit Righties better. Colin Moran is a decent Bronze to start off with too.

All right handed pitchers which is important to remember.
I suck at [censored] like this, but beat all the missions which was good because kopech and smith were a pain. I literally got no hits in the boss showdowns other than 3 solo hr’s. Smith especially wouldn’t throw anything out of the zone. I’m probably going to do one where I just skip to the end and see if he ever tires out.
Smith not throwing out if the zone:
So you can't work the counts and hope for a mental breakdown where he walks a few batters?
How good was he at hitting the corners/borders?
We're there alot of pitches low in the zone?
I went through twelve outs where he didn’t get to a three ball count once...I was almost always behind, I he led at one point and there were 22 pitches in the zone to 5 out. I only swung at 2 of those pitches in 2 strike counts. He also didn’t get tired.
Thank god I had 15 runs.

Brad miller is a must take.
Kopeck was a PIA. Won with two outs left only had two hits which were solo homeruns.

I am going to SPAM this showdown. Skip right to the mini show down, earn a pack. Do three of the five missions to get some players and 6 runs and just work the count with Smith to earn another 3 packs.
4 packs and 2,250 stubs every 15 minutes is pretty sweet. -
The mini boss is Kopech. and you have to leave showdown and play some other games before facing him cause hitting 102 on veteran is impossible after dealjng with rookie pitch speeds for 5 challenges
-
This was by far the easiest showdown I've ever done. Miniboss and Boss moments were easy. Seems like they turned down the CPU defensive fielding as well. Lots of stupid mistakes by the game that would've been highlight reel diving catches in any other showdown.
-
Yea Kopech and his 102 fastball gets on you super duper quickly. Only took 1 try at beating this innings showdown. Had to do the Valenzuela 3 times.
-
Agreed. Only needed 1 try this one. The Fernando for me was way harder. His stuff will have you feeling a little foolish.

He tires around 65-70 pitch’s and becomes very easy to hit doesn’t throw ball. Get his pitch count up and will have no problems
