Kenley Jansen?
-
Jansen is fantastic but you can't get too predictable with him. I tend to get in lots of trouble whenever I start spamming pitches away with him to righties and in to lefties. But he's incredibly easy to locate pitches with and his pitch mix with his per 9s make him far and above any other reliever in the game.
-
I find with him that I try not make guys make contact. Instead of trying to get the K. I use that cutter, FB, sinker in and out up and down. Attempting to make the location by having the starting point in similar spots. Mix in the slider way out of the zone so it’s in their head. Finish them off with the slider by pitch 5 if they are still there

Yeah he gets lit up vs good players
-
Him and Hoffman are middle of the road i get happy when someone brings them both in .Too many blown saves for my liking

That's exactly my point but some people will argue that good players hit any pitcher which is not the case. Some pitchers are extremely difficult to square up. My era with Jensen is in the lows .2 but that doesn't make in a go-to option against a good player. In the other hand Romo is lights out against anyone as long as you mix up pitches and locations.

For those who think Jensen is top 7 or whatever, what level do you play on? Have you ever crack the top 100 in any RS. Cause if you had you should know that Jensen is super easy to hit. Now, if you play against average players then yes he is amazing.
I haven’t played against top 100. But he seems to do pretty good against the other 20,000 people online. I have used him in WS no problem.
LOL I use him agaist the other 20,000 people too. I do have him in my pen along with Wagner who I have no faith on but they're my top go-to righty/lefty combo against the other 20,000.

For me he is not deceptive enough with his delivery & other guys picks up on what I'm throwing & where. Overall he is decent then most closers/relievers out there, but not within the best top 7 in my opinion. For a 99 SS Diamond, to me he does not pitch like it, more like a 85-90 Diamond. I only use him when I need to insert into my DD Team Bullpen because my Bullpen may have been heavily taxed in the last 2-3 & I need a fresh arm to use while it takes 1-2 games for my other guys to re coop energy.
Wow you don’t think he is top 7. Who is your top 7 in this game.?
I got
Jansen
Wagner
Gagne
Miller
Chapman
Kimbrel
BrittonMy 7 go to guys in my Bullpen that I'm using now on a regular basis (until I get others within my wishlist) that are giving "me" the best results for "myself" are the following
(Lefty's)
PS-19 Britton
LS Felipe Vasquez (Yes for a LS card he is AWESOME for me)
(Righty's)
Finest Yates
Finest Hendricks
SS Hoffman
SS Nen
All Star 95 Diamond GossageAgain these are the closers/relievers that works best for "ME".
I only insert Jansen at times when I need a fresh arm to use while the others stay in the pen re cooping. I use SS Smith the same way.I still have not gotten yet Wagner, Gane, Miller or Chapman. They are on my wishlist.
Thought you were an okay dude until I saw Felipe on your list. How can you use a child molester on your team? I know lefties aren't exactly plentiful, but have some standards. Grind out the postseason for some of those lefties, Corbin, Snell, Lazardo, Pomeranz.

Current Bullpen until after stub sale when Gagne drops some(no way I'm paying over 700k for 1 card, don't care how many stubs I have).
Finest Hader, Yates, Hendriks
SS Wagner, Jansen, Romo
Postseason Corbin
Either Yates or Hendriks coming out for Gagne -

Nobody is hard to hit if you're too 100 in RS. Nobody.

This game is about 90% RNG so none of your stats mean anything. I'm pretty sure their servers pick who to screw every game so if you've ever criticized the game on here good luck you are getting the RNG bbc rammed up your *** most games. ENJOY!!

He is hands down the best reliever in the game.
135 innings 2.20 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. Righties hit .205 against him and Lefties hit .191 off him.
His cutter and slider are his best pitches. It's just you have to make sure you jam that cutter in. If it keeps randomly hanging, stop throwing it.i really enjoy him too he's wonderful

Let me know when you play a few top 100 like I do. Bunch of friends make it there, for them I have Britton
-/the easiest from the hard ones to hit/-and a few others. Top 100 as right now could be anybody who is good at the game and have the time for it. -

I too have a couple friends who can hit top 100, again if you're top 100 you can hit anyone without issue. It's why people like Mitch over here can put up 10 runs in a few innings on legend.

Not true, top 100 doesn't mean god like. Like I said, right know anybody good can be top 100. Most top players aren't even playing. Mitch is good, not doubt about it but most top 100 are not even as good as the top 10-15. Top 100 doesn't mean shìt in this game.

I disagree. If you're top 100, you're there for a reason.

Who are your top 10 players in this game? I put Notorious at number 1 and Rebel at #2. After that it's really hard for me. Kyle, Dgoss, Mcgunski, and Lm are all for sure in my top 10 but it's a really tough one. Moving gaming had an interesting poll about the top 10 on twitter and yt
Guys like Zeke and lit would for sure be in my top 10 but they really just haven't played much this year

Hoffman has his time and place. In real life he was an artist and one of my all time favorite pitchers to watch...even though he played for a rival team, whenever I heard 'Hell's Bells' I knew I was about to witness a masterpiece.
In MLBTS19 I like to use him much as an NFL team uses a 'Change of Pace' back. If I've been throwing gas all game with pitchers like Feller and Verlander he is the perfect guy to bring in when an opponent is getting the timing down. If I've been throwing softballs with a pitcher like Blyleven then AS Gossage gets the ball late in the game.
