It's painful in BR trying to get a Strikeout sometimes. I swear I could bounce the ball to the plate and they will find a way to make weak contact to an infielder. I get that using silver and bronze pitchers makes the pci bigger with their stats but sometimes it's just down right ridiculous
For real though, I hit 100 points last night for the season and for the first time didn’t get either of the pitcher stats complete to aid that effort
-
I swing at everything because I suck and I have terrible plate discipline, but all I get out of it is a bunch of strikeouts. lol

A grounder to an infielder would be great…seems like sometimes the outer pci isn’t even touching the ball and they are able to foul tip until they square something up hard.
You mean the foul off/home run where your pitch is in the dirt and the feedback shows their PCI is at the top of the zone with the outer PCI above the belt? That's them most realistic aspect of the game <sarcasm>

There are days I’m this player you speak of. I know it sucks to face me. I’m a random swinger. I’ll be late on 102 and then turn on it. I’ll look like an idiot a few swings and then hit a PP

There are players like you and there are players that do it strategically to take advantage of the game engine. For instance if you have Leiter on the mound they will swing at every single cutter inside banking on foul balls or to square up the ball even when it is out of the zone. Also to eliminate the need to determine if the pitch is a strike.
Like I was saying in my original post it isn’t a horrible strategy given the state of the game. Probably more effective than taking PPP pitches on the black after two cutters off the plate trying to play real baseball.

Yea they need to let people strike out and have bad swings be outs.

I agree with @CodyWolfgang_XBL ...I don't think you are who I am talking about. These are actually pretty good players...have definitely seen multiple with Championship banners and I think there was one WS guy. It really is like it is a strategy being on All Star. They are not random swingers...they are "I know you are going to bury this and I am going to swing out of my shoes." It really can be an easy adjustment to pitch to them, but sometimes you don't realize they are doing it intentionally until it is too late. They really look a lot like a kid with zero plate discipline.

Especially in BR with garbage stamina that inevitably ends up with a meat ball or me saying screw it and beaning them

I'm not amazing but I'm like 54-9 in RS...so I actually might be that guy. However it's not planned I'm just guessing and all over the place.

My specialty is telling myself to look for the inside sinker and swinging at it late and popping it up to 1B.

I suck at hitting and I can mashing Events. They just jack up the hitter sliders...
-
With Events and BR - they are trying to drain your pitcher. They are banking you have played a couple games already and your best RP are drained from the previous games. They will sit and foul off all the balls trying to get pitch count to 20-25 (about where energy is out for SP). You will see it more if you bring in higher rated pitchers (high H/9 K/9, HR/9). They are literally using game mechanics to make you change your pitcher out.
-
I really think pinpoint has made me a less disciplined hitter and more of a free swinger. I would say I have a decent eye and like working the count but it just feels majority of pitches are just dotted. I’ve got caught looking far too much this year then ever and now it’s just not worth it not to swing because it’s usually a 51/49 percent strike. Also I must have a heavier thumb because I swear I breath on the button and swing. Check swings seem non existent for me.
