2nd Inning Showdown
-
Took me forever to beat it. But I did it. My suggestions...for the first mini boss where you have the bases loaded, chasing 4, Edit your lineup so your pitcher is batting 2nd, so he’ll be on second, your worst hitter is batting 3rd and on first, and someone you don’t mind hitting with is leading off, so when the lineup turns over, you get him. Then set your lineup 4-9 with your best hitters. With your pitcher on 2nd, pinch run for him immediately, either with who you intend to use as a pinch hitter, or your fastest player. Then just score 4 runs before you make 7 outs (I know, easier said than done for some.)
The second mini boss I got Bieber. 13 outs to score 1 run. Just be patient and single him to death, or gap one and have a runner on second. Then you have x amount of outs to get a single or score the runner from second or a ground out to move the runner to 3rd and a sac fly. The others I can’t speak to.
The final boss, The first time I got close, I got Giles. As soon as he gets tired, he gets wild. I had 0 patience and discipline because it was late and I blew it.
The time I beat it, I got David Price, and oh my god is he awful. I pick up lefties pretty well for whatever reason, but he’s god awful. I think I went in at 15-5 or 6 (bad run) and I hit 2 quick singles. But Price is amazingly wild. He walked the bases loaded, walked in runs, and I hit a few sac flies. He walked them loaded again, and walked in runs again. I think with the bases loaded once I got to 15-10 I swung at a total of 5 pitches. Finally at 15-15 I roped a double in the gap to win.
I also suggest your 1st 2 picks in the draft be HanRam and Schoop. I didn’t use Carter, so he may be good. But I usually just made sure I drafted someone that can play 1B as a secondary if I didn’t get a good 1B.
