Optimal Showdown Method.

This might not be ground breaking but it could save you a little time and headache.
I find that the 2nd boss can be troublesome. I’m ok but I can’t beat the second boss 100%. Maybe 75% or so for me. Therefore, I don’t invest anymore time in the early mini moments than is necessary. In short I skip to the first boss and then to the second. You get a gold player and perk for beating the first boss - so you should have a decent top half of the lineup to go at the second boss with (swing away, you won’t lower the energy enough with the limited outs, save that for the final boss - there you want to be as patient as possible, grind em down and take your walks).
Once you pass the 2nd boss finish easy / less time consuming moments. This will get you a few runs and a diamond player. Now your ready for the final boss. Should be about 4-6 to 15 and you will have 4 or 5 stud hitters and 20 outs. Stay patient can’t stress that enough. Also you should only be drafting the best bat available. No need for pitching and defense. You can also play a player out of position during a boss battle.
I can now beat a show down in about an hour. Didn’t run a stopwatch, but I think consensus is about 1.5 h If your doing all the moments.
Basically if you can’t beat the 2nd boss 100% of the time don’t bother investing time early for silver players and perks. Skip to him and then do a moment or two when the perks are diamonds.

I’m started to get really good at showdown. Using it to level up quickly while gaining TA points.
I think it’s important to know who you will be facing and draft accordingly. Unlike the inning showdowns l, the division pitchers are pre set and should help you draft your team. I’ve noticed that LHH vs RHP and RHH vs LHP no matter the stats make things much easier. Seems as if the pitcher throws more FB down the middle and off speed for balls vs. the opposite handed hitters.
I take a strike every at bat and equip my perks accordingly (don’t use early count perks).

I’m not sure if you guys know this but I just figured out that perks stack.
So a bronze inner peace will stack with gold and diamond and so forth.

Yeah, that is pretty slick. Side question, does anyone know on the "inner piece" which buffs pitches in the "middle of the zone", does that include the upper and lower third as well, or literally only the one dead center box?
