TA2 Pitchers
-
I have picked up Crochet, Oswalt, Lee, and Cabrera. I've had mixed results so far with Oswalt, while Lee has a 20.53 ERA (!!) in two starts and Crochet hasn't gotten a start yet. Cabrera has been a beast.
Does anyone else struggle to use Lee? I feel like I must be doing something wrong when pitching to righties because so far he's been absolutely lit up by anyone hitting from the right side.
I'm also wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Crochet and Oswalt. Oswalt's low H/9 rating scares me, but he has great speed differentials. Crochet seems like he could be a beast if you adequately mix in the offspeed.
Are there any other TA2 pitchers worth picking up?

Sinkers low and inside, Cutters inside/outside, curves inside, and mix in the change up. I know one of my problems is controlling the change-up with pin point. I try to throw it low and out of the zone and it tends to drift into the bottom half of the zone. With a 20+ ERA that isn't the only issue though.

Try sinkers up and away. Many players (like me) start there PCI inside because a lot of people like throwing inside sinkers.

Gotcha, thanks for the tip. I don't like throwing the high sinker just because of the principle lol, but I should probably get over that.

I’m having your cliff lee problem with Brandon Webb. He is the only pitcher I run out there who gets crushed.... by the cpu! I’ve found Oswald+Prior+the kids to be awesome, Lee mid tier.

tunnel your sinker,fb,cutter,cc down and in and down and away.. show pitches up but don't live up there and you will have success. He has a 0.88 era for me in 6 or 7 starts on hof..
