I'm switching up my approach at the plate. I usually expect fastball but I'm going to sit offspeed and see if I can catch up with the fastball. I can't do any worse. Tried one inning with the Tigers and Boesch got a hit off a change up and then Cabrera hit a 2 run HR. Maybe I need to start a Tigers season instead of suffering through this one.

Dont be scared to adjust the timing slider. Sounds like you have everything else tuned to where you want it.

I think I'm going to try that. I think I even had it at 6 before but have it at 5 right now. I don't want to boost the contact slider anymore as I've already got it at 7 with solid hits at 2.

What do you think? Should I boost timing one notch and leave everything else alone?

(working from home today so I can actually check and post during the day)

I boosted timing up 1 and then lost my next two games. I'm snake bit. I've lost 9 straight now and haven't scored more than 2 runs in any of those games. I have scored a total of 37 runs in 19 games. Not even two per game. The 28th worst team is 60 and 29th is 50. I'm awful.

What makes matters worse is I'm losing close games. Today was 2-0 and 3-1 I think but the cpu is screwing me. My CF Pagan dropped another fly ball. Youtube isn't working for me but I will load it later. Not recorded an error since he was on the run but this is ridiculous. I'm probably going to drop the error slider down to -2 just so I don't see that crap anymore.

I use auto-base running but it's pretty bad. Twice in the last two games my runner on 2nd base has tried to tag on a fly ball to LF and gotten thrown out. In today's game with 1 out and a runner on 1st I belt a ball to left center. The runner holds on first and is late going to second because he's not sure if the CF will catch it (close play). But then he tries to score after holding! He's thrown out easily at home on a two bounce relay (horrible throw). Rally killers. I can't squander any of these chances and these dumb errors and base running decisions are killing me.

I have errors pretty low I think. I will get my sliders up tonight.....been a long work week.....so you can compare if you want.

I use auto-baserunning too. They do tend to be aggressive but i chalk it up to ratings etc. It would be nice if you could tune your base running styles...say aggressive, average, conservative. A text game I play has those options and it works well.
