Hey all-

I've been playing since launch and my overall record in RS is something like 109-129 (maybe a couple of games off). I started off really terrible and for the first month or so I was getting stuck between 400-500. I started getting better at hitting All Star (developed a new hitting strategy, and got used to same pitchers and got good ideas what they were going to throw in certain counts) and made it to 600 a couple weeks ago, and a couple days ago I hit 737, which is my max. But since then I lost like 4 games in a row, and now I'm winning one and losing one over and over again. If I throw Kluber and the other player has anyone but Kluber I win 90% of those games. If the other guy has Kluber and knows how to pitch (which in 600s they all seem to) I lose like 90% of those games. If neither of us is using Kluber its usually a high scoring close game.
I struggle so mightily with sinkers because no matter how many times I tell my mind to look for it and swing earlier, I read it like an offspeed and swing way too late. How do you guys hit sinkers / see sinkers consistently? Does my vision just suck?

Basically, I want to make World Series and earn that Dustin May card. Am I hopeless? Or can someone point me in the right direction for success in hitting better?

I think its just bad connection/ping. The way I usually can tell if its gonna be laggy is if I get to pitcher selection screen and my analog lags before actually moving down to select one. Not always though.

Last five Ranked Seasons games for me:
4-5 L
6-9 L
6-8 L
3-4 L
7-8 L

All super close games. All losses I finally hit 700s again and immediately lost 5 games in a row. Back to 500s. HItting wasn't bad, I actually felt good about how I was hitting. And I wasn't feeling like I was making pitching mistakes very often.

But this is how each RS season has gone for me. How am I ever gonna make WS? This games are all long and grueling and its demotivating as hell to lose close games.
