I did directional and up, and most of the time was so far in front of it that I was hitting it with the back swing.
Got 5 solos to beat the first, gshr,solo hr,single sb RBI single 2rhr to beat the second, sac fly , ugh I forget the rest but I was between 60-80 pitches on all 3 vs Ramone, then going from 80- 95+ against arrieta wasn't fun ,switched back to zone for that and it wasn't too bad,couple batters and I was starting to catch back up to the velo.
Edit: approach Ramone like he's throwing curveballs. -
@PAinPA_PSN directional pointing up worked, finally got past the 1st mini boss but I'm taking a break til tomorrow when I can concentrate better but thanks for your help

That 78-82 is definitely brutal.
I ordered through Amazon(I really didn't) and sent to sds for Ramone a set of those 2 lb barbells so he can workout during the winter and maybe get that FB up to 85 next year. -
Sometimes you guys make me believe that I might be a little better than I think. I did the showdown first try without changing any hitting settings. Of course maybe that is simply because I strictly play the CPU on Veteran so I am used to slower speeds
I won't say that I did not sweat the first one as I adjusted to Ramones pitch speed and then again Arrieta as I had to adjust back to faster pitches.
It was interesting though that the silver player batting eighth in my first couple of games, who had no power to speak of, hit a HR in each of them

Yeah, Ramone was pretty rough slowing down the swing to hit it, reminded me of curve ball speed, I usually don't have much trouble hitting hanging curveballs off guys who through mid to upper 90s, so I took that same approach and did enough to beat him. glad it helped.

Arrieta killed me on my first attempt. I need to try again today.
