<![CDATA[Weak hits and routine plays.]]>Anybody else feels like there are too many soft hits and errors on routine plays?

I could be having the worst luck possible today but it feels like I hit the ball hard and get rewarded enough, meanwhile my opponents get hits by hitting the ball hard and also on soft contact.

This is a big issue too. I have Pudge with 90 pop time in my bench for a late defensive sub, my last opponentg stole on him, on a perfect throw, ball got there before the runner, only to be beaten by that slide cheese

He’s magical!!

If only his steal rating was higher! It would be a “triple” every single time he gets a hit.

IMO the game gets stale when there are nothing but full 99 lineups especially switch hitters.

There is a massive difference in runs scored against me when I had an outfield of soto, buxton and say judge compared to rafaela, max clark and figgins. I love that defense matters big right now. Outfielders like Soto and Judge really need to hit like 3 HR's each to make up for the runs they give up on defense.

The thing about complaining about bloops is that - this game already has WAY WAY too many home runs. It needs more doubles and triples, yes - but definitely not more dingers

It sucks cause live series judge can’t even make my line up or its bloop city lol.
