I have felt like lag/connection issues really haven't been an issue for me this year, but I have definitely started noticing things the past few days. I think the issue has been more subtle than in the past and it has taken me longer to notice. I have actually been playing much better the past few weeks. Really taken a different approach with hitting and have had solid results...but then I will have a random game where I can't hit anything at all and my PCI shows to be in all kind of weird places from where I had thought I had it. I also seem to be swinging at pitches that I wouldn't normally. I have been crediting those to me being off, having a bad game and not having good plate discipline.
This morning though I played a game where I faced Kyle Wright and I pitched Mussina. I have really never had much trouble with Wright, but same thing was happening. I just couldn't square anything up, even though I felt like I knew where it was coming...was late, then I would be early...was swinging at pitches I wouldn't normally. It also felt like my PCI was not smooth when I would move it around before the pitch. It was not super noticeable, but it was different. However, that wasn't the biggest issue for me. I am pretty good with pinpoint and specifically do pretty well with Mussina. His pinpoint and command are typically pretty easy for me. I could not control him to save my life. My PP was just a touch off on every pitch and I was falling behind to every batter. He was brining runs across each inning and I finally had the most luck when I just tried to mix up pitches thrown down the middle. Eventually I quit. Went right into another game...PCI felt normal....few hits and runs in the first and I was able to dot with Carrasco. He quit in the middle of the second.
I was the home team for both games. This tells me I had the better connection for both games, but tells me maybe the guy from game one didn't have the best internet. This all was important for me to realize, because I think it will maybe help me not overcompensate when these things happen.
