Is it just me or does pedro seem to get lit up?

It’s just you.

Everytime they actually get a piece of a pitch it's a homerun. Like right now I have 10 strikeouts in the 6th inning but he's givin up 5 hits, 4 were hrs.
-
Used him in my first RS game yesterday. Dude hit a hr off a hanging curve in the first. I believe I struck out every other better I faced. He quit in the 3rd or 4th, even though he was up 1-0. Fastball/change/slider combo is filthy and I keep the cutter in my back pocket for LHB.

The key to being successful usingPedro Nolan Randy, is using the off speed pitches as a table setter and finishing off with a fastball. I see so many guys I face just use gas, which works for a batter or 2 but once I get timing down I usually can do pretty well against them.

Exactly, or finish off with the change up.

He feels like DeGroms from the past. He’s good, but he’s not impossible to hit if your opponent makes a mistake or gets lazy with sequencing

This.^^^^. With Ryan I won’t through a fastball till you can prove you can hit his off speed stuff. I’ve gone into the late innings only throwing one or two fastballs

I don’t think there is a wrong way to pitch with Nolan. I usually go 55% fastball, 40% change, 5% curve, 0 sinkers. Just move in and out, up and down, and change speeds based on what your opponent is doing
-
The only thing Pedro doesn't have is a deceptive motion, which of course he'll never get.
But I'm thrilled they gave him the dominant card he deserves.
In my mind, he's the clear 2nd best SP right now (behind Randy of course).

I just want to know how you can mistake 'through' for 'throw' and get 'throwing' correct?

Bro such an underrated strat. I used to use the fast ball either as a set up or as a go to pitch. But this year now that I’m getting better at the game I’m learning the importance of having a balance between speed and breaking pitches

What about Ryan? I’m not disagrees I’m trying to get an idea of who the best pitchers are. I personally love using Smoltz and Greinke

Auto correct and not paying attention. It’s pretty simple actually and thank your for noticing and pointing it out.

Ryan is hard to control and can be wild.
-
I’d like to see the community era with various starting pitchers. I think it’d show it’s Randy and Ryan in S tier, and Pedro and 3 or 4 others are the next tier

I agree do you think I should keep him on the squad or made replace him with Pedro. It’s something I’ve been thinking about but haven’t committed to the idea until I got some other opinions.

Was cool to see Pedro at Mets Old Timers Day today!!
I actually sold him to finish the LS collection, but will buy him back. -

It is like that against the CPU for all my pitchers. Homerun or bust for the CPU players. Come to think of it, it is kinda like that for my hitters too.
