Diamond Dynasty Opposing Pitcher
-
I wish there was some way we could see if the opposing pitcher was a lefty or a righty so we'd know how to stack our lineup. I'm playing the Mariners and assumed I was getting Robbie Ray and so I stacked my lineup with right-handed batters but I got Logan Gilbert instead. It really put me at a disadvantage.

They used to have that notification previously, but too many people would just back out of the match if the opponent's pitcher hand did not align with their all lefty or righty lineups.

if you are playing conquest always start your number 5 starter. The cpu then starts theirs, then you start to remember what hand everyone is. Boston is a lefty, Yankees, Atlanta, Angels are righties. That is what I can remember, I have them written down at home.

Keep in mind this can change after a roster update.

You go into DD collection for that team, count SPs from top to 5th, and there you are. Angels went from RH to LH after update; I noticed because mystery map farming.

I use the community market and filter by team and SP. The only time there’s an issue is if two SP have the same rating.

Yes, sorry, I should have added that. Last year I was beating up on the Os all season until their pitching got bumped up. Then I had to switch to the Tigers. Right now I love teeing off on Rich Hill of the Red Sox. LOL

Good strategy.

This is where openers become huge

We should have a roster lock in RS similar to what is in events but on a game by game basis. From that locked roster we could have a vs RHP & LHP lineup…similar to what happens in say…baseball.

Except DD is not real MLB... There are events for LH vs RH and vice versa every year.

But this would solve the problem without having kids back out if they know a lefty was on the bump.

no thanks....then you would likely be playing at a disadvantage due to the other team having all righties or lefties. Not to mention people would start a LHP or RHP opener to lock in that players lineup, then put in the same handed guy the second inning

And that would simulate a legitimate strategy because it is exactly what TB started doing 2-3 years ago. Also, starters coming out of the bullpen have a significant penalty with regards to stamina…so bullpen arms and management would play a bigger role as a player has to be on your active roster to regenerate stamina on a day they are not pitching.

no one does that....no one has 9 quality L or R bats to carry on a roster to do that. No one carries roughly 18 position players on the roster to fit that possibility anyway .key word is quality, bc no one in real life has 8-9 Legends and all stars to do this.

Too easy

This doesn't bother me as much as it has on the past. I only play conquest, since mini season is broke...the CPU always seems to change pitchers every inning. Whereas in the previous years, you could pound a pitcher, and he'd be in till the 3rd inning or when he came up in the lineup.

What are you talking about? Just because no one currently does this does not mean that our game, strategy, and meta should not evolve.
Case in point: I carry LS Realmuto on my bench as a backup. No MLB team carries a backup catcher for their bat, but they all carry a backup catcher. If I go into extra innings and have a slow 1b or C as a ghost runner Realmuto does his job and goes into the game. 2 popups or 1 hit brings him home. It is a sound baseball decision.
If you want to insist on having a bench with boppers who can barely field a single position then that is on you. If you think having Big Papi, Ryan Howard, Nelson Cruz, etc. on your bench is sound baseball then you should be penalized in the field for being ignorant of team construction mechanics. 1-2 big bloopers on the bench should be fine, but role players and position versatility need to be encouraged if we want a better baseball simulation.

I get what you're saying, but I believe it's different when playing conquest or mini seasons because we're playing against the CPU and not another player. There's no reason for us to not know which hand starter the CPU is using so we can stack our lineup accordingly. In real life many teams have different lineups based on LHP or RHP. Why can't we in DD?

I added this function to my Lineup and Depth Chart spreadsheet. Now, I always know who the starting pitchers are for each CPU team and what order their rotation is.
