When you get within 4 runs, consider pinch running for anyone on first with under 60 speed...and then steal second.  Double plays are so common in this game and must be avoided.  This came back to bite me once - when the common i used to pinch run had to bat...but still, DPs are absolute death and must be avoided.</p>
<p dir="auto">Anchor your pci high.  Sit high fastball always. If its less than 2 strikes, try not to swing at anything that is on the corners - not worth it, more likely to be an out and you need to run his pitch count up.</p>
<p dir="auto">If youre up 2-0 or 3-1 in the count, consider taking a pitch - walks are as useful as home runs until score is close (no joke, walks mean just as much because stealing is free)</p>

<p dir="auto">Take pitches, and I mean take pitches, for the first 10-15 batters don’t even worry about scoring, just get the pitch count up, contact hit if you need, try get at least 5 pitchers per out.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you can get to 100 pitches with 8-12 batters left, it gets much easier.</p>
<p dir="auto">Always steal 2nd and 3rd early on too. Get yourself out of that Double Play risk.</p>

Don't sleep on the diamond Michael Young.  Hit me a HR and 2 base hits that he could steal 2nd on.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another tip is don't steal 2nd and 3rd and take 2 strikes.  Not worth it.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also noticed on all my steal attempts deGrom threw fastballs pretty close to the middle.</p>

<p dir="auto">Be patient.  Look for fastballs.  I use strike zone but strike zone high may give you just a blink extra time.  I'll probably try again tonight and tomorrow.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am sitting at 793 and am trying to get kind of high in WC for the better rewards.  Still trying to get Ohtani and only have 40k now.  I'll be very happy to win 2 games out of 6 which would probably get me better rewards than winning 4-5 in the 500's.</p>
<p dir="auto">Hitting in the 7-800's would probably be much easier with Tulo, Pujols, Marte, Santana, JRam, Simmons, Chipper, 99 Miggy.  Probably played 250 hours and have none of these.  Sad.</p>

Still haven't beaten it, but I see light at the end of the tunnel.  I think best if you take as many pitches as possible.  Yeah, let him have his corner kisses and just take them, but once he hits 100 pitches his arm dies and you can see the difference.     Just need to have the right guys  in the right place in the batting order</p>

<p dir="auto">These are great tips here.  Have to look fastball, his slider is tough.  I passed the first time and I'll be 57 this year.  2nd time got done in by diving Seager dp and diving OF play.  3rd time could not buy a hit on good/perfect swings.  Likely need a little luck too.</p>
