Is there a more useless 99 card in this new set? I thought maybe I wasn’t using him right (I stopped using him all together a while back) but I just homered against him for the lead in a save situation.
That persons ERA with Mo was over 9 lol so at least I know it isn’t just me. My ERA is 6.45.

Yeah I complained about his cutter awhile back. It feels like it has no movement whatsoever
-
Strange too because I feel like in ‘21 he was the best reliever in the game by a mile (atleast for me). Last two years I’ve heard nothing but people lighting him up. Wonder what it is?
-
I’ve thought he was terrible each year. Sit inside, adjust to sinker low and away. Never been afraid of him coming out of the pen.
-
I have pitched extremely well with him. I think alot of people spam his cutter & thus people sit on it. He actually has a real nasty change up which is my strikeout pitch with him.
-
I feel a lot of it is everyone has seen him so much its partially why I've started trying to use "other" guys that haven't been seen

I was excited to get him, even though I'm a Red Sox fan, as he is one of my favorite players.
Then as soon as I got him; they dropped the Milestone Jansen and I should've sold off Rivera when he was around 40K.
But I was bouncing between the two of them.
This is mainly offline; but they both have sub 1.00 ERAs and have yet to blow a save.

I love hitting against Mariano. I was getting destroyed by a guy throwing Randy earlier today. Was no hitting me through 7 and for some reason brought in Mariano. Ended up cracking Mariano twice for a 2-1 win. Mariano has always been a lackluster closer, you have to really watch your pitch mix to be effective. His cutter is super readable, so I use it down and in or away coupled with a sinker early, then his changeup always throws people off.
And when did Mariano get a 5 pitch mix??? =)~
