I miss Tiant. Legend Knuckle Ball Pitchers were apparently "too cheesy" for the community and after endless complaints, they ultimately disappeared.
I figure that’s the case. I just feel like the knuckleball wasn’t as much of a problem as the knuckleball being the meta pitch was the problem, if that makes sense. If that’s the case, are they gonna take away outlier fastballs next year due to excessive complaints?

At least we have Mickey Jannis..

I wouldn't say it was a "meta" pitch. Most people just had a hard time hitting it and thus complained their way out of it. I personally never had a hard time hitting knuclers.

If I remember correctly, knuckleballers get absolutely destroyed in this game.

They didn’t the year Niekro and Tiant were in everyone’s rotation. 2018 I think?
Since then there has only been common and bronze knuckleballers, of course they get destroyed. -

I think the fact that most people had a hard time hitting it makes it the meta pitch by definition.
I think that was the year that pitch speeds where slow, so all off speed down in the zone was kinda meta, and you couldn’t get a fastball past anyone. -
