    No pitcher in the world uses sliders almost every dam pitch for dirt balls and then spots the slider on bottom of the zone then dirt balls and so on.

    Discipline wise I am getting better at but the angle on this video game is very hard to decipher. U can read a dirtball much easier in a real game(yes you can). In this video game of baseball, the count means nothing as far as what pitch u can anticipate so, Fy Oswalt slider using haggots.

    On a side note I appreciate good players who actually use the strike zone..kudos to real players on this game.

    No pitcher in the world uses sliders almost every pitch because real life batters wouldn't chase it over and over. If a pitcher knew he could get every batter to chase it consistently, a real life pitcher would absolutely throw it every time.

    Totally agreed. Some way sds needs to make this pitch better recognizable to read bottom of zone vs bottom of outside zone...its ridiculously hard to read unless u just take and gamble

    Trevor Bauer recently went through a stretch of throwing over 20 consecutive Sliders to Manny Machado in 4 abs (most were considerably off the plate, with a few painted on the corner). Bauer had pretty good results (2 SO's, a ground out, and a HR)... So it does happen.

    Translation: "I chase at pitches out of the zone and it's not fair."

    Adds vvSHARKYvv to scouting report: can’t hit sliders and will chase out of zone.

    Earlier this year Bauer threw Manny 12 straight sliders in a game.

    Not only are you wrong but your attempt to get around the filters with your homophobic insult will most likely also result in a ban. Stop swinging at everything

    What all you guys are describing is a one time here and there thing. I am referring to every darn game. Stop acting like you dont see this in games everyday . All you wanna be cartoon video game players on here act all hard and like your gods on this game 😂 it's hilarious.

    You should be thanking @Kovz88_PSN. Instead, you take his suggestion, you edit your original message, then try to insult him. Grow up.

    Noone saying we are God's, I'm not great at hitting at all but I understand that there's no magical wall that makes the ball travel less when it's out of the strike zone. Like I said, go watch old Vlad highlights. He feasted on pitches out of the zone
