I swear you deny that request and boom they score 3 runs lol

I’m always nervous that karma is gonna slap me around when I deny a FQ. So, if they send me a FQ, I’ll let it sit there and run down their pause timer...and they either retract their FQ request or forfeit.

That’s disgusting that you have to let someone’s timer expire so you can get a free win.

You must be trolling, they can choose to retract their FQ and not lose...SMH

Mets collection reward Olerud.

Solid defense and I can always count on him to get a clutch hit.

Eh, I’m impartial to them. It’s just a method for trolls to utilize to get under your skin. Let the score board do the talking, hot one deep and make them watch the replay, or turn the console off and carry on.

Wow I never knew that!! I always thought the red meant that it was being thrown harder so it had a higher chance of missing the spot, but would come in at a faster speed

It does throw it at a higher velo, but I’ve also had those “red” effort pitches hit very hard, so I tend to use them sparingly, and focus more on the “green” effort pitches.

What pitching interface are you using?

I use analog, and the “hit-ability” of the pitch depends on a few things; overall pitcher’s confidence, individual pitch confidence, and hitting your marks on the interface.

I’ve also noticed one fine detail on the analog meter. It’s not just hitting the yellow “release” bar and then hitting the target, but how fast you “flick” the joystick up after you hit the release bar.

If you move it fast, and you get a red color on the meter, it will be easier to identify the pitch at release.

If you get a green meter color, the pitch will be more deceptive...and if you tunnel it with other pitches, will be harder to hit.

Go practice with your pitchers and try to get green indications on the analog meter...each pitcher has their own input speed requirements.
