What regular pitcher gives you the blues?
-
I know people have trouble with Verlander, Degrom, Nolan etc
But what low diamond or even silver or gold pitchers drive you nuts when you're up to bat
Ryu and Urias for me. You will always beat me with a soft tossing lefty who stays in the dirt.
-
Zach Greinke. I'll either Crush him or can't touch him. His 82 MPH Change up looks exactly like his 88MPH Fastball except it falls off the table at the last second. But then he'll throw a 92MPH Fast Ball up and in and it looks like DeGrom is on the hill.
-
Vida Blue of course!

Definitely not Jon Gray or Shane Greene.

Hahahaga, I hate facing Greinke. Good call.
Yep, definitely not Jon Gray.

Haven’t seen much of him this year but oliver perez has given me nightmares for the last 4 years

Sometimes Shane Greene can give me a shade of the blues. Just depends on the mixture of pitches.

The gold Jake Diekman is pretty filthy.

Jordan Hicks. No pitcher of his caliber should be throwing a baseball above 100. Especially not when he wasn't even put in the bullpen.
Every run through the RIB map I have to deal with this guy. Hate him with every fiber of my being.

Urias for me, he has a deceptive windup that can throw me off.

That's funny, my trip through the RIB map tend to feed me all the pitchers I loathe. Urias, Ryu or Matz, depending on which pitcher I use and yes, Jordan Hicks can be a menace.
Dustin May was another one. I believe he was the 5th starter for the Dodgers when the RIB map came out. Gave me fits.

He was taken out of the rotation after he was out for the season wasn't he? Not immediately, I know–he was out since spring training.
I hate that the rosters don't reflect when players are injured. I have to deal with Trout and all them even though they are not playing. Thought this was a baseball sim lol

As weird as it might seem, I actually struggle against lefties in general. I don't know what it is about my brain, but I see a ball come from that side of the mound and just lose the ability to guide my PCI stick in the right direction. The mother of all annoyances to me is Chris Sale. His delivery coming wide from that side just completely bamboozles me, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

I mean Chris Sale gives a lot of people fits. His pitches seem to cut across the entire plate sometimes, Imagine if he had 120/h per 9.

Playing conquest, seems like a lot of 5th starters are lefties. Also Urias gives me fits, Matz too. Ryan Yarborough can be a pain because he throws so slow. Houston has some in Greinke and Framber.

Their order in the rotation is based on their rating. It only gets tricky when two pitchers have the same rating. For example, for the Run It Back map, the fifth starters are Elieser Hernandez (Marlins), Carlos Martinez (Cardinals), Steven Matz (Blue Jays), and Julio Urias (Dodgers). The first pitcher out of the pen is Paul Campbell (Marlins), Jordan Hicks (Cardinals), Julian Merryweather (Blue Jays), and Brusdar Graterol (Dodgers).

Yeah, I've actually started switching up which pitcher I use to avoid those 4. I hit Dakota Hudson better than Carlos Martinez, Sixto better than Elieser and anybody better than Urias. The Blue Jays are tough because 3 of their 5 are lefties.
-
Matz is a pain to face. Urias as well, I know to always start my number 4 against the Dodgers, because I'm going against Buehler and he's easier to hit. So is Scott Kazmir (5th starter for the Giants), Kazmir may as well be Koufax with what he does to me. The CPU plays way above his stats.
