@nekrostd_psn said in Please do something about the horrible pitching in this game.:
Sure it is partly my fault because I foul off borderline/decent pitches more then I should. But I don't swing at balls that are in the dirt, or above my head. Nor do I swing at pitches that are a good foot off the black (east/west). And these type of pitches happen way to often. Now Granted I haven't watched baseball since Rivera blew 3 straight saves against the Redsox in ALCS, so maybe pitchers really have become this bad at hitting the zone.
It's not that pitchers are "bad at hitting the zone" they're trying to avoid it because hitters are using "launch angle" to hit homeruns and elevate the ball over the shift. So, they're staying away from getting too much plate. Even though there are more HRs there are more Ks and more BBs because of this tendency.
There's been a different approach to hitting, so there's been a different approach to pitching and yes, things are different compared to 2004.
