    Fwiw Jose altuve almost has a 500 BA when swinging at the first pitch. He’s not the only one either. Buzzers or not, people hit much better early than later in the count

    I mean that's not necessarily true. Yes, if you find yourself in a hole 0-2, you're going to have a worse batting average then if it was 0-0.
    But I bet most players have a better average ahead in the count if it's 3-0 or 3-1

    I don’t think anyone recommends to just put the control down till you get two strikes. BUT it is smart to take pitches, unless you enjoy making quick outs and getting the pitchers confidence up.

    If the first pitch is right down the middle, I have to take? Doesn’t work that way in real baseball, why is that a thing in a game that wants to replicate real baseball?

    Not what I said at all lol if you have a pitch down the middle you can swing. You just have be selective. For example if you get a pitch on the bottom outside corner chances are you’re not going to hit that well...therefore it’s okay to take that strike.

    That is also true. Taking pitches to get in good counts helps tremendously. I was just trying to give an argument against the game punishing people for swinging at the first pitch. Now if you consistently do t and swing at bad pitches? Yes you should be punished

    The classic strawman argument, twisting his words into saying something different.

    Ok. Then maybe you can explain to me why there’s a consensus of not swinging until 2 strikes in this game when clearly that doesn’t happen in real baseball and it shouldn’t be a thing in a game wanting to replicate real baseball. If I get a first pitch down the middle, why is it not good to go for it?

    I don't subscribe to the take till two-strike theory. (Unless you find yourself constantly swinging at balls, in which case it might be helpful to watch a few to try and get comfortable.)

    Nice try diverting from the main point though. You were still strawmaning, whether you want to admit it or not.

    You don’t really have to take pitches in showdown, and I wouldn’t recommend it against the CPU at all. It’s smart in some situations, more so online, but anyone actually putting the controller down or refusing to swing can’t lay off bad pitches and swing at the meatballs. I play a lot of showdowns with good success and never see 100 total pitches, not even close. I actually get as many first pitch or first two pitch boosts as possible.

    Why would I ever want to just take strikes and build the pitchers confidence. That’s why some guys are still dotting people after 115 pitches, his confidence has been maxed since the 50th pitch. Completely backwards approach to a game mode where you need to try and rally against one pitcher for 20 outs. Get to him early and take pitches once he’s scared to throw strikes. Don’t gift wrap them full confidence and have to battle every single at bat.

    Sig Contact boost on the first 2 pitchers
    Exit Vel boost on the first 2 pitches
    Sig Contact boost in two strikes counts

    The theory in showdown is to try to tire out the pitcher and get him to walk you a bunch, since it sometimes seems impossible to not hit into double plays or line outs, or have the bronze outfielders climb the walls to rob you.

    Call me whatever you want, I’m not here to talk about that.

    I’m just curious because the other guy made a whole thread about the bad players not being patient in showdown and I’m just wondering why should you have to let good pitches go to avoid being “impatient”? If the CPU gives me a one first one down the middle, why should I feel like I have to take otherwise the game will nerf my early count hit? I’ve asked you twice now and you yourself are diverting from giving me a legit response.

    I already gave you my answer, I don't subscribe to the wait till two-strike theory. I'll swing when I feel like it.

    But again, you don't want to talk about "that" because you know it's strawman, but sure keep avoiding it, lol you aren't fooling anyone.

    It's the only way people like you can "seem" smart, if you argue against something that wasn't said, you can easily make yourself win that fake argument. It's a classic move, but very obvious

    Im not trying to fool anyone. Aren’t you the guy who blocked and AVOIDED that one dude who was asking you questions about his hit feedback? It was a perfect/perfect with an exit velocity slower than the pitch, to jog your memory. Yeah, I think you are that guy. Other dude was asking you questions and poof, you disappeared or blocked him. Don’t come at me with some s$&t you’ve done yourself.

    You're not fooling anyone Ryan, I've known it's you for awhile
    I stopped talking to you because you couldn't get past your skull my point.
    That flaws happen at anytime, so they will happen at the worst times. I wasn't going to repeat myself over and over. It was pointless, you just can't grasp that

    But ONCE AGAIN, please deflect your strawmaning more, I will never stop bringing it up until you face it, which you obviously never will because you cannot admit to anything. Which is fine, I expect no less.

    Your entitled to believe whoever you think I am. Anyway, how about that, you came at me saying I’m avoiding this and that when your doing the same thing. Doesn’t make you look too good. You do realize that other people read your comments too right? I remember that whole back and forth between you and him and your the one who avoided his questions.

    Weird how you remember that when your account is only 9 days old. As I said, I gave him my reasoning, that flaws happen at any times, so they can happen the worst time. What's the point of repeating that 50 times over?

    Apparently you never watched nomar garciparra bat... infamous for always taking the first pitch of an at bat no matter where it was.... taking pitches for showdown in my guess from other posts was because certain pitchers in the final showdown had bad control an for some people was walking every batter that went to bat....it's not every pitcher though...but the last showdown I just did the guy barely threw a strike an because I was impatient at that Time I lost because I was swinging at everything...now I'm in the middle of my final boss an guess what? I'm being patient an he's rarely throwing me a strike and I only need 3 runs to win with 18 outs left..it's just a tip people gave to have a better chance of winning you don't have to do it if you don't want to..play however you want

    I don’t think anyone recommends to just put the control down till you get two strikes. BUT it is smart to take pitches, unless you enjoy making quick outs and getting the pitchers confidence up.

    If the first pitch is right down the middle, I have to take? Doesn’t work that way in real baseball, why is that a thing in a game that wants to replicate real baseball?

    The classic strawman argument, twisting his words into saying something different.

    Ok. Then maybe you can explain to me why there’s a consensus of not swinging until 2 strikes in this game when clearly that doesn’t happen in real baseball and it shouldn’t be a thing in a game wanting to replicate real baseball. If I get a first pitch down the middle, why is it not good to go for it?

    I don't subscribe to the take till two-strike theory. (Unless you find yourself constantly swinging at balls, in which case it might be helpful to watch a few to try and get comfortable.)

    Nice try diverting from the main point though. You were still strawmaning, whether you want to admit it or not.

    Call me whatever you want, I’m not here to talk about that.

    I’m just curious because the other guy made a whole thread about the bad players not being patient in showdown and I’m just wondering why should you have to let good pitches go to avoid being “impatient”? If the CPU gives me a one first one down the middle, why should I feel like I have to take otherwise the game will nerf my early count hit? I’ve asked you twice now and you yourself are diverting from giving me a legit response.

    I already gave you my answer, I don't subscribe to the wait till two-strike theory. I'll swing when I feel like it.

    But again, you don't want to talk about "that" because you know it's strawman, but sure keep avoiding it, lol you aren't fooling anyone.

    Im not trying to fool anyone. Aren’t you the guy who blocked and AVOIDED that one dude who was asking you questions about his hit feedback? It was a perfect/perfect with an exit velocity slower than the pitch, to jog your memory. Yeah, I think you are that guy. Other dude was asking you questions and poof, you disappeared or blocked him. Don’t come at me with some s$&t you’ve done yourself.

    You're not fooling anyone Ryan, I've known it's you for awhile

    Your entitled to believe whoever you think I am. Anyway, how about that, you came at me saying I’m avoiding this and that when your doing the same thing. Doesn’t make you look too good. You do realize that other people read your comments too right? I remember that whole back and forth between you and him and your the one who avoided his questions.

    Weird how you remember that when your account is only 9 days old. As I said, I gave him my reasoning, that flaws happen at any times, so they can happen the worst time. What's the point of repeating that 50 times over?

    But ONCE AGAIN, please deflect your strawmaning more, I will never stop bringing it up until you face it, which you obviously never will because you cannot admit to anything. Which is fine, I expect no less.

    If flaws happen at anytime then why are players blasted on here from the cult accusing them of it being their fault and their “crybabies” when they share a story of those flaws screwing them over? Maybe they want those flaws fixed so they don’t have to “whine” about them.

    Name me one person on here who believes the game has no flaws, that there aren't things that can't be improved. (Except the bluejay tyler guy, he doesn't count lol) No one is disputing that flaws happen, that flaws will sometimes screw people over. Again, another strawman attempt

    Making well-written criticisms of the game is fine, but most of them get called crybabies because of the way they write it. They let their emotions tell the story and that makes it look like complaining.

    Also that last sentence def tells me you are Ryan, you write the same exact way.

    also But ONCE AGAIN, please deflect your strawmaning more, I will never stop bringing it up until you face it, which you obviously never will because you cannot admit to anything. Which is fine, I expect no less.

    Also this is exactly what I meant, I've given you my reasoning three times now, and you don't accept it as an answer. Proves my point that I can repeat it over and over and it just doesn't get through

    Personally, I always take the lucky 7 perk and because of that I always take a lot of pitches.
