I usually listen to the catcher's pitch selection but not always location. I don't throw the same pitch 3 times in a row if they want me too

Congrats on accomplishing that in one of the most hitter friendly parks there is. You were on your game for that one

Thou shall not dashboard

Or if you do, do it or quit after a dinger lands. I never quit though because I try to figure out how to get outs and maybe I'll come back. I like the challenge

I chose Mo and I've given up 2 hits, no walks in 7 outings (7 IP) . He's 7/7 in save attempts and has a zero ERA. I needed bullpen help the most, so I chose him. I bought FoF Dawson for my outfield

I have Mookie at second and his diamond fielding there is fantastic. I hit my longest dinger with him too. He's so clutch for me on offense and defense. I have 99 Jackie Robinson at 1st

I've had worse things happen at the plate. No doubt that that was a terrible call, but my catcher (91 Pudge) will occasionally stand in front of the plate with the ball in his glove and won't move an inch to try to tag a runner coming home. I remember it happening at least once on a dropped third strike

I enjoy pitching with Kluber, Newhouser, and Orel. All 3 are great and when I'm on with Dustin May, he is lights out. For the lower tier diamonds, I like pitching with Kershaw. It seems like most people have a hard time picking up the pitches. I also have Graterol in my rotation

@MLBTHEJOE said in Best starting pitcher in the game:

That Dustin may is a pain to face when his confidence is through the roof

I agree. I'd much rather be pitching with a confident May than trying to hit him

@olivegarden2 said in Early thoughts on Paxton?:

He sucked on all star in my 1 start. Couldn’t find that put away pitch.

I have yet to pitch with him, but when I face him, I can also stay alive on a 2 strike count for a long time unless I get completely fooled or mess up timing.

@YankeeFan412_XBL I play on PS and those players have been around and I agree that they are so annoying. I promise not all of us are like that and I hope you don't run into many more

Since this update was released, I have been getting smacked around. My aces (99 Kluber and Graterol, both of which have thrown perfect games for me) have been throwing bp. Some of the runs are my fault, but these pitchers were so nasty before the patch. I think the timing windows fix was needed but not the PCI size. I can't get out of innings. I also seem to hit way more good/okays than I used to and haven't really noticed the changes. Some of that could be frustration or a slump that coincidentally started about the same time. I threw a cg shutout with Kersh, however. My relievers seem to be doing fine too. I also noticed that I can suddenly bat better with Belli since the update.

I love batting with Dawson and his defense is great. 97 arm is great paired with POTM Belli in right. They bat 5th and 4th, respectively

I had some problems right out of the gate, but the only server problems come when my wifi or my opponents internet connection acts up. I've played well over 300 games online

I second Dawson being terrific for me. He is a true 5 tool player. Best batting average on my team, maybe 2nd best OPS behind POTM Belli. Dawson patrols CF for me with Belli in RF. Their arms are fantastic.

Kluber
Newhouser
Orel
97 Dustin May
Graterol

I just got Paxton and need to work him in. I'm thinking about replacing May and using Dustin May as a spot starter. I use Kersh and Buehler in that role currently, with Buehler also serving as long relief. I've been struggling with Orel and May lately.

C - CAP

1B - 99 Jackie Robinson

2B - Mookie. Diamond fielding is a must for me at 2nd and I couldn't bat with Sandberg. I think I'm going to try him again though.

3B - Minnie Minoso. He is one of my longest tenured players whose batting average hovers around .280.

SS - Didi - Formerly Lindor and FOTF Michael Young. I want to try Young again but Didi has already came in clutch more in a couple games.

LF - Ramon Laureano - That cannon and his bat seems like it will be nice for me. He has silver fielding but his reaction is in the 80's or 90's. Good reaction paired with 79 speed or so is plenty for me in left.

CF - FotF Dawson - 5 tool player

RF - 97 Belli about to be prestige Belli - I just need one more run.

Bench - Reggie, Lindor, Sandberg, Rickey Henderson, FotF Carlos Slamtana

I've hit a no doubter with him too

Happens to me fairly often.

He rakes. I really like his swing. He's my starting SS, so I can't speak on his fielding at a secondary position

I can only remember one blown play. Would've been a inning ending double play, next batter hit a 3 run tank
