Ever Can't Hit with only 1 Player?

I know I have. Currently I can't hit with Justin Upton with my Arizona franchise. I tend to swing at everything with him! I know that's the problem. But I think it's mental. I'm so anxious for him to hit a bomb that I lose my composure. Also my timming is always off with the guy even when I get a meatball. Any advice?

My advice, stop swinging at everything.

Force yourself to take at least on ball, maybe two. Force yourself to not swing till you have two strikes. Self control...

I always have problems with Jeter, only because he's my favorite player and I always want to do well. I don't swing at everything, but I definitely swing much more with him than with other players. No walks for Jeet, lol.

Trust me I know not to swing at everything. Just like the two guys above I'm just less patient with Upton than everyone else.

I just finished a series with the Cubs and have gotten better. I just need a different approach with my guy!

While I'm not great with anybody since I am a poor batter overall, I'd say I have the most hot/cold AB's with Jason Bay. I either barely miss breaking stuff in the zone, or I have a game where I go 3-4 with a HR with him. It's rare that I have a average day to the tune of 2-4 with singles. It's either all or nothing it seems.

JJ Hardy was hitting .193 after 2 months of the season for me. After a little hot streak he is up to .210 entering the 2nd or 3rd week of June.

But that's what I'm thing to say. If you know that you're less patient with one guy in particular then FORCE yourself to not swing at anything, no matter how juicy the pitch might look, till you have a strike. You just have to learn to exert more self control when that guy is at the plate..
