Kluber and Newhouser
-
Yeah same experience here. And Kluber is a nightmare to face on anything above All Star.

Yea same . It’s weird how u can get away with just using 3 pitchers this year . You’ll end up seeing these guys a lot
Haven't played RS yet but if this is true it needs to be adjusted.

Yea I’ve played over 45 games and I’ve only used 3 pitchers the whole time .

That is a huge fail by SDS. Needs adjusted asap.
-
That’s because people don’t take pitches or work counts and get CGs in 80 pitches, plus the 110+ stamina regen is ridiculous
-
It's all about rest if you beat a guy in 9 with throwing 75 pitches then they are gonna be fresh a game later if you take and run counts into the 100+ it takes 2-3 games or them come back with lower energy and you tee off that simple
-
Update: I counted. 7 of my last 8 opponents in RS started either Kluber or Newhouser.
-
I made a long post about this. And it’s not even about working the count or getting them to 100 pitches. I usually throw newhouser for around 110 pitches and he’s still ready to go 2 games later. Energy usage needs to be harsher and the recovery needs to be slower.

Idk what I’m doing differently, but a five man rotation seems to be perfect for me. If SDS nerfs stamina, I may be screwed.

I think they just need to adjust recovery for starters. Also if someone quits in the first, your SP is full the second next game. Bad combo for lesser players facing behemoths

Just think about how bad it’s gonna be when everyone is silver 40 and has both Kluber and Newhouser lol. That’s all anyone will see.
-
We can all agree the stamina needs fixing . Especially with newhouser. He can pitch every 2 games with that stamina at 124

100% agree
-
I personally liked the 5 man random rotation . Not sure why they swayed from that this year . Much more variety in the guys you’ll see . Like stated above soon as everyone gets to level 40 silver , all you’ll see is newhouser and Kluber.

This, I don’t agree with. I’m a big fan of choosing your starter. It’s fun to sort of strategize who pitches when. For example, I was ~3 games away from WS, I started Glavine game one, Smoltz game two, and saved Kluber for the final game, even though he was ready to go for game one. It’s fun to be able to do that.

I'm at bronze95 and still haven't opened that pack yet. I've faced Kluber 4 times and Newhouse once. I want a better feel for which one is easier to hit against...or I may just roll with Fingers.

I wanted to love Rickey last year, but found his swing to be really frustrating. Is it any better this year?

IDK. Haven’t used him.
