    Agreed, 2 lefties is just perfect.

    I like to keep three in my pen

    3 works as well, 4 is a bit much though. Theres a lot of good closers/relief pitcher to choose from this year and we don't even have Wagner yet.

    Who do you have in your pen? I’m not completely happy with mine, but I’m not sure there are better options available? Gossage is the best reliever in the game IMO, Chapman, Miller are both staying,

    Gossage
    Chapman
    A Miller
    Soto
    Dibble
    L Smith
    Britton
    Rivera

    Considering:
    Fingers
    Nen
    Reyes
    Hoffman
    G Richards (Topps Now)
    P Corbin (post season)

    Franco gets outs. Prime McGee is nasty the curve makes people look silly.

    That Britton card is not hard to hit if I remember correctly he has 4seam, 2seam, sinker, and slider. His sinker and slider are legit, but you can just sit on one or the other. Hader is underwhelming as well.

    I also run 4 lefties…at this point everyone has a lineup with alternating lefties and righties.

    D. Williams/ gold Betances

    Just curious. why the gold Betances and not the Prime?

    Prime card is just fastball/slurve, with 68 break 70 control on his 2-seam. Pretty underwhelming. His gold has the same H/9, with 99 break on his Slurve/Slider/& Knucklecurve. All 3. So if I'm gonna use a Betances card this year, it'll have to be the gold. Unless he gets a 99, which he totally deserves, but probably isn't getting

    I didn’t even realize this. I am going to try the gold card out. When I use his Prime card, it’s basically just the 4-seam and the slurve. Unfortunately, I think the Prime is the highest Betances we will be getting this year. Thanks for the reply.

    4 lefty’s is too much??? Most of the best hitters in the game are lefties or switch hitters with lefty being there better batting attributes. And as far as I know most people struggle lefty vs lefty. Maybe you struggle with lefties but I don’t think carrying 4 lefty’s is too many at all. I wouldn’t have a normal DD team without at least 4 lefty relievers. But I guess to each his own right?

    Break doesn’t mean much to a good hitter in this game. His gold has a very hittable fastball and the fastball on his prime I’m pretty sure has outlier. This years game is all about fastball velocities and even a 97-98 mph fastball is hittable without that outlier quirk. In fact you’re doing most of us a favor if you’re using big breaking curves and sliders with pitchers who have outlier fastballs. Maybe your too hung up on those attributes.

    I'm not hung up on anything. I'm using a gold card over a diamond first of all. Don't even get me started about how pitches in this game have no break, pitches are the least deceptive they've ever been (unless it was already like this in 20). It's one of the biggest reasons this game sucks. It's why outlier / sinker cutter as a meta is the strictest it's ever been. I just wanted to answer the guy above. That gold Betances sits on 99 & regularly touches 100. He's easily the better of 2 of you feel like using his card in a pinch. The prime doesn't have outlier

    I have all of the Betances cards and the only one that reaches 100 is the 95 prime card. That’s talking about the baseline card. I’m not talking about a card that is Paralleled. And regardless of what you claim the good hitters in this game crush big breaking pitches. If you are using those pitches to get by with Betances than I question the level of the competition you’re playing but great for you if your successful in this game with that card. Not looking to get into a pissing contest with you. Just pointing out that your logic is misguided.

    Never mind you’ve played a grand total of 32 online games. Your argument is null and void. I can make a common pitcher look good against the CPU. When you post in a thread it might help to point out that your experiences are based on offline play!!! Where your break attributes actually matter.

    Wow, you get called out on your bs and you blow a gasket. Look kid, you playing against your friends list doesn’t make you an authority on anything online kid. You telling me that you’ve played thousands of games online over the years means literally nothing when it comes to this year. So go troll elsewhere clown. You go on believing your gold Betances is good. I challenge you to get past Division Series in Ranked Seasons using that card.
