why do I keep playing this garbage?
-
I have no idea why I keep doing this to myself. This is right up there with mlb the show 18. In the clip that I’m about to show you I’m cruising through 8 innings with Roy Oswalt. I struck my opponent 9 times up to this point. Oswalt’s confidence was maxed out. These are the hits that my opponent apparently deserved. Weak grounder with Mondesi that apparently chipper didn’t know how to field. Then a very late double down the line with Gary Sanchez. Followed by a 2 run bomb that tied the game.

This happens to me more often than I care to admit

You threw like 6 curveballs in a row to Gallo... At almost 100 pitches...
What did you expect? -
My catcher meter still doesn't appear.

What did you expect?Because it took my opponent 8 inning of hacking very early at that pitch and not being able to touch it. The home run is on me. But what can you tell me about the other 2 hits?? Thats where the problem lies. Maxed out confidence from Oswalt mind you. But you choose to only see the mistake i made.
Oh and btw notice the confidence level on the curveball specifically. Look at where i intended that pitch to end. I barely missed with the analog and it ended in the middle of the plate. Come on now

Ok relax. I just pointed out that the Gallo homerun makes perfect sense... The other 2 were luck. Maybe oswalts stamina had a role? It was pretty low
-
I just lost on a homerun to Giambi on a fastball a foot above the strike zone on the inner most corner. Plus it was pulled. Whatever
-
The Mondesi hit was pretty ugly, but the Gary Sanchez hit was because you have auto-shift on.
Trust me, turn it off, it hinders you way more then it helps. I turned mine off pretty early on.

You can’t leave starters in that late in this game, you always get burned. Awesome jerseys btw.

I always did in the past as well, but in this game I noticed I always regret leaving them in after 7. Kluber is the only exception. The pitching in this game is just so bad, it’s a shame.

The first hit is absolute trash, man it feels bad to give those up. Did you end up winning the game?
-
I don't think that the miss at 3rd was a factor at all - heck, you threw him out at 2nd.
I think your opponent was maybe looking to push the ball with Sanchez. I sometimes do that with Yelich to take advantage of the shift. I think you would have finished Gallo off if you had tried a heater up and in...
Bloop and a blast, IMO, is a bit easier to live with than 12 HRs for you and 13 HRs for the opponent.
Keep your head up, man. You'll get the W next time.

I did end up winning. Just sucks that the game rewards so much bad input. I had a ton of good/ok’s on this one.

Thanks for the advice. I ended up getting the win on this one. Its just so deflating when you got your opponent figured out and you get screwed on bad input. Im having a hard time believing that there isnt any comeback logic in this game.

Auto shift allowed the hit to sanchez. And you should have walked gallo, he was sitting off speed. But mondesi that’s the game for you
-
I’ll preface by saying I agree with the bs, but this is what I saw. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t have been mad as well though
-
Mondesi, weak hit but a chopper down the line with a silver fielder playing in. Wasn’t inconceivable.
-
Shift was on and he got lucky, is what it is.
-
Repetitive pitches with a hanger on low energy.... it happens, and I would have walked Gallo if he wasn’t hitting bc if anyone can get a lucky jack, especially if it’s with Gallo.
I understand the bs sucks and want it changed, but you should have scored more runs. 2 normally isn’t enough. I clench my butthole til I have a 4 run lead on this game with all the hung pitches and dudes that can’t find their a hole from there elbow who get lucky occasionally.
I just let had 21 strikeouts in a game and dude still got the obligatory bloop and bomb. I win 4-2 and missed several pitches I should have drove. I hit under way too much. Just slightly, and it’s super annoying why I can’t be consistent non the ball instead of slightly under .

Good job getting the dub.
I do think that there is comeback logic. I, too, have had some weird late inning "luck". It feels even better to win those.
Awesome uniforms, by the way.
