Has anyone completed the Mexico City Showdown

I actually skipped Taylor just to make sure. Down 6 with 20 outs vs Martinez was pretty easy
-
Michael Harris hit a tank for me off Rodgers. Hitting off pitchers like Rodgers is easy , concentrate on the release point let the ball get big , swing just below it because it will drop a little because he throws so slow .

Thanks all. I though about skipping him but I'm concerned about losing out on there runs. Some of my wins thus far were completed with one out left.
I was getting robbed left and right with Common fielding fielders. Yepez and Adell both separately robbed me of Moment winning homeruns and had diving catches in some instances.
Again, my concern with Taylor is his release. If the CPU throws low in the zone; I'm concerned about ground balls.
Guess I have a decision to make. Lol

Snap your pci to lower third. The release is from the side, so stay low. Once u get someone on, bunt him over, so u don’t get the guaranteed double play on your next abat

That's a great game plan. I just have one issue. No matter the batter I ALWAYS end up bunting the ball straight up in the air for a pop fly. Happened so many times that I almost never bunt in Showdown because I'm afraid to mess it up. Especially during an Elimination Mission.
It will all come down to whether or not I want to chance losing against Taylor and having to start over it if I want to take the chance of losing to Martinez without those last three runs. 6 runs with 20 outs is possible. But you can't mess up.

Ok. So I ended up playing him he pitched totally different than I thought he would pick. Pitches were all over the zone. Ended up hitting a no doubter, with LS Tucker, with 3 outs remaining. Now on to Martinez.

Yea, the bunt perk helps. I found drag bunting is actually better then regular bunting

Quite easy for me... just ya know, be super patient & tire out the pitchers if you struggle with hitting.
Draw some walks, then move the runners over by using Left Handed Batters...fly balls, etc. Get em home.

I skipped him not worth the risk, Martinez was BP
-
Just finished it also and I skipped to get to final boss. Won with 8 outs to go

This Showdown took me a lot of tries. It wasn't Rogers that was the problem, Gallegos was really tough for me and a lot of times I didn't make it to Gallegos. The first time I got past Gallegos I managed to beat the rest, including Rogers, but the only time it was "easy" was the last one against Martinez.
Note: I am not a good hitter.
-
Took me like 5 tries, my focus ended up being on looking for batters with good contact and power Vs right handed pitchers. I believe they are all right handed.

And if so, what was your gameplay with Taylor Rogers?
I stopped for the night when his Elimination Mission came up.
I'm worried that with his funky release, he'll throw low in the zone, to increase ground balls. That's my Achilles Heel. Ground balls.
Almost failed the mission before Rogers because I hit into multiple ground ball double plays. Only won because I lucked out when the ball bounced off the bag at second base.
Taylor is a RP, so logically. Take pitcher’s pitches, swing at hanging stuff, it’s not like he throws 100, this was very easy.

Um my gameplay was not doing the 2nd to the last showdown it’s not that hard to score a few extra runs.
