<![CDATA[NL West Bumgarner... any tips?]]>Struggling large to beat him even with a decent righty lineup.

Any tips here to help a brother out? Last run I bypassed him to get to Buehler with only 7-15 runs and lost 15-15 so I need a little boost to get over the hump for the final boss.

Don’t lay off fastballs or hangers right down the middle, drill them. Use good quirks as well. Work the pitcher so it lowers their confidence and energy. Also, it’s really easy to get frustrated when you make several outs to start the showdown. Always stay patient and don’t chase. Avoid K’s as much as possible. All sort of common sense things, but they all have helped me. Good luck!
