Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

it isnt god awful but the swing throughs on some wheelhouse pitches are noticable for me and it's not really due to the pitch speed that i need to change for me (have it 4).. .my atbats are a bit short in duration, not fouling off as much, as last yr..i've hit back to back to back HRs (nyy) in my last game (last weekend) but cant handle the painted corner pitches well w/ timing hitting.

On what level?

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

I've had some great results hitting the ball with the sliders thus far. Batting .224 with the Cubs through 5 games of my current season.

5 games
37/165 .224 AVG
17 Runs
8 2B
2 3B
1HR---Low??
3 SB
0CS
12 BB
39 K

Other than low power #'s so far....not a biggie as only 5 games these seem to play well. My problem comes with pitching. I use API because I like the feature and I place my cursor on the glove. So API wants the inside slider to end just inside, i place inside so it ends much deeper inside for a ball. Thats my personnaly gameplay. Here are my stats through 5 franchise games, all starters once, and let me know if I can or should change anything

5 games
3W
2L
1.13 ERA
39H
7R
6ER
1HR
15BB
42K
1.13WHIP
.230 AVG vs R
.224 AVG vs L

Re: TNK & PsychoBulk ***The Perfect Slider Set 2011 Edition***

The sliders seem to be working alright so far but its far too early to judge as Ive only played 4 games and all of them were against the Giants pitching staff. Having said that, Im a little dumbfounded how guys come here and say that they arent having any problems hitting and then their team batting average is .220, thats terrible so how arent you having any problems exactly? I guess some people have a different idea of realistic as a team batting average of .220 is just as bad as a team era of 2.00 but yet Ive seen multiple people praise those results for some reason.

EDIT- Question for anyone in the know, has anyone seen a unrealistically big jump in errant throws down to second when trying to throw out a base stealer? Using Barajas Ive air mailed it into centerfield on all 3 times Ive tried and Im not going full strength on the throw either so Im clueless. I dont know if its the player or the sliders at this point.

Not me. Ive made some changes to alleviate my hitting woes. I was batting around .220 as a team after 20 games. Tried zone hitting, it was better, but now I was striking out even more. No bueno. Went back to timing and changed the following:

Solid hits raised to 3
Pitch Speed lowered to 2
Batting cam set to Catcher 9

Much better, im still striking out, 7-10 times a game opposed to the previous 15-20 per game. Im just not good enough to use the base slider set, I need a little more help.

Im also using that same batting camera and it really seems to make a difference with my ability to judge pitches better. As for the sliders Im using exactly what they have posted.

Still loving these sliders I am now 10-7 with my Cubs. The only change that I have made since my last post is human solid hits to 3. I have raised my team avg to .243. I will post an update of my stats with the sliders when I finish April.
