What is with this game with all online players throwing the same two pitches all game. High fastballs and low off speed that even perfect swings won't hit. Every game is the exact same, it is completely ruining this game. I'd rather deal with the connection issues than this.
Curious if "all online players" includes you?

Lol Sounds like you never watched a baseball game before

This is like the people saying that people only throw curveballs in the dirt. It's not a them thing, it's a you thing.

For sure thought you were gonna say cutters/sinkers on the black.
Played a guy the other day who did not miss a spot with Corbin Burnes...

If you cannot hit those pitches, why would they throw something different? Especially something that you can hit? The goal of the game is to keep you from being able to hit the ball!!!
This!!

I find it pretty boring to work every count to 3 balls but some players just think that they are too good to throw strikes.
I’m with you. Didn’t seem this bad in previous years, but I have faced so many guys that just refuse to throw strikes. I’ll take my walks when they’re just given to me. But, man, mix in a couple strikes now and the .

In my opinion what you are experiencing is due to pinpoint. It is a lot easier to nibble the corners and throw junk to try to get people to chase since it’s hard to read if it will tickle the black....not to mention the umps giving the corner some games.

People do what works if you know it’s coming then sit on it . if you can’t do anything about it best believe the person will keep doing it
️No one will feel pity you can’t hit High fastballs or low off speed . -

Pinpoint is definitely having an effect, but I think buddy is talking about the “ball one, ball two, ball three, strike one (high fastball), ball four” guys.
There’s nibbling, and then there’s guys that don’t challenge in hitter’s counts.

Crush the high fastballs and layoff the junk. Patience man.
If you swing at balls I will keep throwing them.

You mean the guys that spike it in the dirt two or three times and then throw it up and in?

Ha! I guess so. I just kind of group them all into if and when they challenge the hitter.
I think this goes back to the true outcome thing. People seem to see strikeouts as the goal when pitching in this game, when the goal is actually to get outs.

I can’t stand the guys that take 30 seconds per pitch. I hope they burn in hell.
I’m not talking about the guys taking their time like normal. I’m talking about the guys that wait every possible second to annoy you or get you to quit.
