Catfish Hunter 3-inning moment
-
What an awful moment. The worst I can remember. And no alternative to getting the card if you don’t have an A’s pitcher in an event and don’t do battle royales or ranked seasons. I’ll be stuck at 48.
-
Add: Have played this almost two dozen times and only once got to two outs in the ninth. And of course gave up a hit.
-
I had a real issue as well doing that one took me a while
-
What? lol I did the Catfish stuff I dont remember this.
-
Fastballs Down and In, Up and In, Sliders Away. Curves in the Dirt. Changeups down and away to the lefties...easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

They all get called balls.

So you don't have Awards Lefty Grove? If you do it's easy to get the Ks since the current event is on HOF.

8 Ks and a foul popup. I might have given up 2 hits between all the missions. I never have problems with any pitching moments.
I dont use patterns, I just pitch like I would if actually pitching. You can see if they are late/early, or where they swing after each pitch. Use that to help determine hard or soft, and location for next pitch. Fastballs up and in, offspeed down and away are fundamentals, but dont be afraid to vary depending on how the CPU hitters react to being pitched. Fastball up and in and the hitter swings down and away, come back with the fastball up and in. Timed the fastball but not location, mix speeds to a different location. Also, just because its 2 strikes doesnt mean you have to change pitch types. If they were late first 2 pitches on fastballs, throw the fastball again. One more thing is I throw a lot of down and away sliders to RH power hitters.
Anyway, that's how I pitch the CPU and never really have problems.

By far one of the easiest programs , you don't have any A's pitchers ? Even relievers to get the 10 k's ?

if you dont play ranked, it really isnt that hard to get some wins online with an A's pitcher. especially since you'd be playing on vet.
-
do another moment, just do 5 moments, the 10K with A's pitchers, and do the exchange
-
Any 'don't allow one hit' moment can be frustrating, but stick to it and you'll get it. It's only 3 innings so attempts go by fast.
-
This program is one of the easiest of all time!
-
gotta love pitcher programs for xp

blake treinen, lefty grove, vida blue, dennis eckersley...
-
Easy completed in 25-30 minutes
-
Fb up and in. Slider away. If you can get ahead in the count, make them chase. They will if its close enough to the zone.
-
I never play online and am garbage at it. Took Vida Blue onto RS and had fun striking out like 15 batters before I remembered I needed 10.

This is the way. Easy 10 points for Catfish. Then do the exchange set. Then you only need to do 5 moments. Probably the fastest I have ever completed a player program. I dont even have Vida, I was using a Topps now guy for the As.

Pretty sure you can do an exchange for 5 points
