Can't hit HR's with certain hitters?

[Iplayvideogames]

with fair trades on I was able to trade Rafael Soriano for Jose Bautista, followed by me acquiring Mike Adams. However, I cannot seem to get the ball to leave the ball park with Bautista after 16 games lol. Everyone else on the team has a HR so far even bench players. I was just wondering if this is a glitch or this is just getting to my head.

Home Runs are fascist. Stop trying.

The first sentence is an oxymoron.

lol its true though, before the season started. however after i posted this thread I had my first game in Toronto and managed to hit 2 HR's.

You can't think in baseball. Go up to the plate and get a good count and find a good pitch. Soon base hits will start becoming 4 baggers, don't worry.

Patience. Sometimes you'll hit a homerun with a guy like Chone Figgans and not hit one with somebody like Jose Bautista. It happens. That's what makes baseball so great.

Sometimes I can help to put your next best hitter behind Bautista to ensure that he gets pitches to hit.

But any general tips on how to improve hitting? For example with a created character

This happens to me in my Tigers franchise with Cabrera. I think it is affected by a couple factors mainly being; first, you are trying too hard because you know they are a power hitter. The other being, just as you know that individual is a really good hitter, so does the CPU pitcher; I have noticed that the CPU pitcher pitches Cabrera much tougher than the other batters in the lineup. For example, the pitcher may be topping out at about 90-92 on his fastball to other batters, but when Cabrera comes up he tops out at 94, I notice that the CPU is also much more careful about hitting his corners. As mentioned above, which I have to remind myself quite a bit as well, be patient and eventually the pitcher will be too cute and you will find yourself in a 3-0 count with that fastball coming over the heart of the plate.
