Event approaches
-
I generally agree, but three inning event games, meh, I’m seeing lots of guys taking good pitches that can’t hit very well.
I wish strikes on the edges were called more.
-
Perhaps the perspective needs to change. Why do so many pitchers throw so many balls during event games? Wouldn't batters swing if they were strikes? I get a ton of walks not because I don't want to swing but because I don't get anything to hit from those pitchers.

Good point. Personally. I am trying to throw strikes. It’s tough to consistently hit your spots this year.

This isnt an attack on you OP, but i think it's kind of ridiculous how much some people shove "unwritten" rule type stuff into The Show, if a guy wants to be a patient hitter in events, that's completely fine. Its not his job to make sure his opponents are having fun or getting out of games fast.

Yeah, I’m fine with that I guess.
It’s just funny how the meta changes. A few years ago, it was not common at all in events.I guess if you can’t beat em...

I just played a guy who swung at every pitch I threw even stuff way off the plate. I guess there are a few guys out there who swing away. I think however that Halfbutt is right most guys are taking quite a few pitches more than usual.

Haha that honestly might have been someone who is just not very good. When I first started playing a little over a year ago I literally almost swung at everything and it wasn't because that was my plan going into a game.
-
I feel like I have played against guys in quick count events that were just automatically taking, even with 2 strikes. They would get a couple walks and then decide to swing and hit a 3 run bomb.

So the expectation is that people should be free swingers and suck?
