7th Inn Showdown is no joke

Know what’s funny: I lost to BUEHRLE twice. First time I just totally underestimated it and didn’t pay attention until I suddenly had one out left. Second time I had two men on with 6 outs left and absolutely fumbled the bag (double play, forced a tag up from third...pure choke).
But I beat Johnson on my first try the next time through. I don’t know why I struggled with this one - it seemed pretty easy on paper, but I agree with you.
Freaking leading off Trea Turner smacks a homer. Buerhle done. I was like yup that ain’t happening again

Even the time I beat him got a little hairy. I wanna say I bunt cheesed LS Luis Robert with like 5 outs left and slapped a gapper that got him home. But after the big guns at the top of my lineup all got out, I was a little nervous.

Haven’t tried yet, 0-3 on 6th because of Maddux’s /9 turning hard contact to slow dribbles.
Dude, I cant get past Martinez.

Anybody else struggling w the showdown this inning. I’ve been able to breeze through the others but I’m 0-5 on this one. Can’t even get to Johnson with more than 10 runs and when I do he’s been near impossible to get anything going.
I beat Maddux last inning on the first try. This time? 0-3 against Johnson. That 102 mph fastball is hard to plan for, especially when he keeps hitting the corners with his curve. Wish I had some sage advice, but I don't. Going to start attempt #4 tonight. Good luck to you.

make him throw a lot of pitches. Don't swing unless 2x or down middle. Once his fatigue drops to yellow and ideally his confidence it gets much easier. He should be at 100+ pitches by the time you're done.
