The big difference between Vida and other pitchers without sinkers is his delivery. It's hard to read out of the hand
It's so hard picking up his delivery for me.
Vida is a must.
This card is Endgame.
-
They gave him a slider which he traditionally doesn't have. I know he had it last year on his 97 card, but that's still a great addition.

Why does every single pitcher need a sinker??
Well because their coding is broke and it is by far the most OP pitch in the game.
I pitch great with a lot of pitchers but I get shelled with degrom. These dudes above clearly don’t play decent players that can spin a 102 mph fastball over the wall simply bc it doesn’t move. I wish it wasn’t like that but movement on the pitches is what wins games
Degrom is a bad comparison though. Degrom doesn't have outlier and every pitch he throws is hard, plus he has an easy to read delivery. Vida has a funky release, and massive speed differentials, with a 123 H/9. He will be plenty good
BS....Crochet gets hammered against good players. Only people that don't have a monitor or have a bad connection won't be able to tee off on Vida Blue.
It’s a home run derby doesn’t matter if they threw 110 these dudes out here will hunt it and still sit back on the off speed

Anyone else kinda disappointed since he doesn’t have a sinker. Wish they were more usable on HOF and legend but with a sinker and cutter it’s tough. Just gonna be a lefty degrom. When they teased him I really thought he would’ve had a nicer repitoire.
Respectfully, I promise Vida Blue will not be a lefty deGrom. His funky motion and release make him incredibly difficult to hit. Arguably as effective as a good sinker.
-
I think he'll be very good personally.
-
The OP is asking for another Sinker???
I've sunk enough time in BP trying to figure that pitch out 🤪 and why its so OP. -
Yeah, I can't be the only one who hates facing vida blue. I'd rather face Cliff Lee any day.

Stop listening to youtubers and actually try the card. He's gonna be nasty. So sick of this meta BS. Sorry you cant be effective unless a pitcher has a sinker. Maybe try practicing up a bit....

I don’t give a **** about what a youtuber can say but I guarantee I played yo goofy ahh with vida I’m giving up runs but if I run cliff lee out there it’s a complete game mercy rule shutout. I wasn’t rated 1000 last season because I wasn’t effective
-
You're not mercying anyone.. Vida will be in people's rotations much longer than Lee. Hit me up when you can get top 50

Nobody cares.

I am grinding 40 wins purely for Blue. He is an end game card.
They'll prob end up fixing Sinkers and the fact they move about so much anyway. So dont get stuck into using only sinker pitchers because if they nerf it you'll be screwed
Same goes for you Contact only swingers!!

Sinkers have been broken since at least 17. I highly doubt they are getting fixed

Makes sense then, this is the first DD ive played since 18 i think so didnt realise it had been such a problem.
I did think when that POTM Burnes came out and the fact the Sinker was moving like some sort of insane Cutter it didnt look right!
-
Has anybody faced him?
He’s always give me problems with the fastball curveball combo. This year tho I am not as worried as curveballs aren’t that effective. But never know until you use him or face him how he will be.

So if I understood this right, you weren’t rated 1000 last season. Because you weren’t effective. That’s OK, go get ‘em this year!
-
Here’s a thought, don’t give pitchers a pitch they didn’t throw.
-
I’ve always had a real hard time hitting vida his delivery is where is strength is.

If you knew how to read at a third grade level you could comprehend that Im stating that I was rated 100 because I was effectively pitching. Wanna try the STAR reader test I heard those are good for improving literacy. Thats OK go get em bud
